I completely get day and date releases during the pandemic, but the more it wanes, it just makes sense to go back to purely theatrical releases. Which I’m glad studios seem to be doing for now. I have an OLED TV and I’ll still choose to experience most movies in a theatrical environment. My TV is for second, third, fourth, etc. viewings.
I feel like a 45 day window is a perfect compromise. It allows that exclusivity while also allowing those who don’t want to go a shorter wait. All these streaming services need to focus on creating their own content that will help bring and keep subscribers. That’s one thing I love about Disney’s plan pre-pandemic. Using their popular brands to create exclusive content for both Disney + and theaters.
