I doubt there is animosity towards movie theaters and a desire to get rid of them. More likely (as mentioned before) there is simply not enough money to be made.

Yes, it may be cheaper to have a building sit empty rather than pay to acquire films to be shown, pay for the heating and lighting, pay for the inventory and preparation of food, and pay for the employees.
