But mine is that it is cheaper for them to stream than it is to deal with distribution, and product, and placement, and the politics of the theatre business... they just get better ROI on the stream service. And, if things don't get any easier on the theatre end, that form of movie viewing will go the way of the dodo soon enough. (Remember, the 'comic book crowd' has a large number of anxiety sufferers who would pay premium prices over and over to be able to see those films as soon as their less inhibited friends do. That is another factor. One of many that may spell the end of the 'going to see a movie' experience.)
