    Another thing not explored in this article is the 100 days to streaming rollout that we’ve seen.

    A film comes out, ~60 days later it hits Premium VOD, ~30 days later a physical release, shortly after it hits Disney+.

    A lot of people are willing to wait for a number of different reasons, economic, hype, quality, etc

      For me it’s health related reasons. Even if I wanted to, I can’t go to a cinema to watch a movie.
      That’s why I don’t mind paying for premium VODs (that’s the closest I can get to real cinema) but it’s just cruel that in this COVID-era of ours films are still released cinema first with a huge delay until the digital release.
      Just let me watch it at home same day it releases for everyone else, I’m willing to pay for it.

      Bit off topic but I wanted to watch a YT video about James Bond and like 30 seconds in the guy launches into spoilers for the new Mission Impossible movie. Had to close that tab real fast like; shit like this could be prevented.
