As with everything that changes, there is no clean “cut off” where a last thing is made and then no more. Entertainment more than anything evolves and changes. There might be a last “traditional” movie made with a studio and sets and cameras, but by that time we will hardly notice, or our grandkids will hardly notice, as they have moved on to new more immersive or entertaining forms of escapism.
I don’t think so, there are plenty of hipsters dusting off old phonographs and vinyl records, hobbyists using old-fashioned cameras, modern musicians restoring old styles of instruments or tones.
When I was little I used to imagine the future was going to be either some kind of sleek Star Trek world of clean utopian skylines, OR it would be an apocalyptic wasteland with people remembering the Before Times as the sky is choked with ash and smoke.
The reality I have realized, is that the future is always just “more” of everything. We will have more poverty, more wealthy people, more diseases, more miracles, more hardships, more forms of entertainment, more wars and more peace. We will have more forms of entertainment and more ways to enjoy them.

Does any form of entertainment really die though? We still have stage plays and novels even though entertainment has evolved to films and television
