The benefit of seeing movies in a theater has definitely decreased. Also, the people who pay to see it on streaming probably won't go to the theater if that's not an option... they'd just wait for it to hit VOD. I think it's better to give people multiple choices.
I considered it odd that the Disney September release of the Get Back movie along with the new Ghostbusters has been bumped to November when the virus should be spiking again instead of mild times in Sept.
The new schedules don't always make sense. I hope we don't see a lot of films getting major delays like last time. One promotional cycle is enough. I'd rather they release it for theater and streaming or theater and VOD rather than wait a year while theatrical returns are already declining anyways.
All part of testing out the Great Reset. They get to reset the economic and societal model to suit the new Corporatism movement of which both communist and capitalist are all part of, and mostly at tax payer expense.
Just as vaudeville fell so will theatres. They are just determining what people will pay for home convenience of releases, you know, like $35 dollars for a movie upon release at home on the tv instead of waiting 3 months to rent for $5.
Smaller chains and independents could get bought up by competitors or other companies. At some point theaters will either die off, become much more niche, or have to evolve in someway. They've started bringing back 3D but I don't think it'll be enough.
You hit the head on the nail., The new global movement is called Corporatism of which the old-school systems of capitalism and communism are both a part of. Corporatism has been busy buying up and absorbing businesses and now governments for over a century to establish a global government and system, so buying up smaller chains and independents has always been the way and has given us a new world order.
