The lesson contained in there is people will trade quality for privacy where their porn is concerned. When VCRs got cheap enough to be a mass market item (that magic $300 US price point again) the theaters dried up almost overnight.

Who wants to go sliding around in other guys jizz to spank it in a theater when you can do it in the privacy of your own home with one leg stuck straight up in the air and nut in your wife's sock.

What I find interesting is that porn theatres still exist. I shot my first porn video in 1983 and it did pretty well. I was offered a career path in porn, and walked away. Damn, I coulda been rich. VCR's were new and rental was growing in leaps and bound. Electric Blue had just started and was going gang busters. Here is my first ever porn film that I shot:

I dont know of a theater left standing in Atlanta.

And Atlanta has everything else from buck nekkid strip clubs with alcohol to jack shacks to asian massage joints. And tons of incall and outcall. The prostitution gets raided occasionally but as long as they stay low key and dont piss off the neighbors or cause the cops any other undue grief, they're tolerated.

Closest thing we might have is booth views, and I think what keeps those going is glory holes.
