The catalogue shopping specialist has seen a 45% increase in demand for home cinema kits year-on-year.
It said its best-selling model was the Bush 5.1 100w home cinema kit, priced at 89.99.
The Argos study also highlighted the 123% increase in Sky+HD subscribers as further evidence people are increasingly opting to watch films in the home.
Last month, UK cinema chain Cineworld announced a 700,000 fall in customer numbers in the first half of the year.
Lee Tinsley, buyer at Argos, said: “With 3D technology set to take off and high-spec Blu-ray technology reducing in cost, people now have easier access to better equipment.”
He added: “Families are now able to watch blockbuster releases at the quality that they would expect at the cinema and at a record speed of conversion to DVD.”
