Television was invented in the late 1930's but development was postponed by World War II. In the 1950's, when television began to hit it's stride, many movie theaters went out of business. That's when you began to see innovations such as Cinerama and other wide screen formats.

∙ 15y agoActually many movie theaters went out of business in the 1950's. Television was becoming more mainstream (more people owned sets). So theater-going went down. Movie companies created wide screen formats like Cinerama to try to compete with television.

Silent movies were the first movies invented, in the 1890s. People in the USA and France liked looking at moving pictures better than still photos, so they invented movies.

Since then, most movies have had talking to go with the movies. I am sure if they could have invented the talking movie in the 1890s, they would have.
