In the days of being able to rent and stream 1st run movies I don’t know who the economics of the movie industry works these days. I do know that movie theaters keep 50% of ticket sales but I don’t know how much the streaming services take for each movie rental. I don’t know whether streaming is a net plus or minus for the studios.

It’s all probably a few years from being obsolete anyway. Soon every schmoe with a computer will be able to make convincing animations of any celebrity, complete with AI-generated voices. Then we can all make our own movies and leave the woke nonsense out.
