Never going to happen. 3D never even really caught on, with the vast majority of people preferring 2D screenings over 3D screenings. Absolutely no one is going to opt in for VR movies.

I'm surprised no one has said Avatar sequels yet.
But in seriousness, I think a trend that might take off is movies like the video game Late Shift where the audience gets to decide how the movie turns out based on how people vote. People won't stop looking at their phones anyway, so this gives them something to do and the theaters will like it because it encourages multiple viewings.

Are people really wanting to pay $10-$15 just to watch a choose your own adventure? I think it could be fun at home, but not in a theatre.
I see something like that being popular as specialized screenings at film festivals, but not for regular screenings in the cinema.
90s nostalgia and anime nostalgia as Gen Y nerds start doing what Gen X nerds have been successful at for the last decade with 80s nostalgia.
edit: probably more so video games nostalgia than anime.

I know there are already shows that have had special episodes in theaters (Inhumans, Sherlock), but I don't see this ever becoming big. A show like GoT or Walking Dead will bring in a lot of people. Most other shows won't.
I'd love to see more big budget Film musicals as well. We still have the Greatest Showman coming out in December and possibly a contender for awards season. Disney's The Lion King film adaptation directed by Jon Favreau along with it's all star ensemble cast is going to be a massive musical that will probably surpass Beauty and the Beast's box office total.
Yeah, I guess I am being too optimistic, but I think it is a great idea for cult and independent theaters to differentiate themselves.
