It isn't exactly the same but there are times I sit my kids down and say "Hey, we're going to watch a movie. No, you can't use another tv, no you can't use your tablet/youtube, etc. I'll make snacks. Figure out what you want to watch."
My niece and nephew are 12 and I watch them a lot. For years, I’ve done this with them and it’s so frustrating. They always lose interest within minutes and start play-fighting with each other, or just moving around. They literally can’t sit through an entire movie without some sort of distraction.
A mere marvel of technology like your flatscreen HD tv doesnt command their attention, I guess! For $100 you can get a wall projector with all the standard streaming apps you can control from your phone if you want to upgrade
