NOBODY is going to decide that they have to join a streaming service because of this movie.
Please explain to me: what is the purpose of getting this to your streaming service sooner? What is the financial gain? That's what i don't get. What is the financial gain, of getting this to streaming by December 10th or whatever, instead of February 10th? What difference does it make?
the only difference I can think of is, you're throwing away money from the theatrical exhibition.

If no one even in NY/LA is watching this weekend, platforming is not going to make anymore. {nm} Nov 19, 09:59
If no one's watching it in theaters, why keep playing it in empty theaters? {nm} Nov 19, 09:13
Contracts. It'll be reduced to one showing a day over Thanksgiving and then lose theaters on Dec 2 to Violent Night. {nm} Nov 19, 09:15
