I doubt that big boxes pose a serious threat to the mall because you aren't going to cross that parking lot 20 times to go to 20 different stores at a box centre. Neither driving nor walking is convenient.
Big boxes are convenient because of the large multipurpose stores that sell all kinds of things - one stop shopping - then you can go to the bank and pick up a movie on the way out.
The recreational shoppers that I know still love their malls, they'll just go to Wal*Mart for the necessities.
