  1. As a young person, I don't find a movie any more high-value because it was released in theaters. For me, it makes no difference whether a movie is exclusively shown in theaters, on streaming and in theaters simultaneously, or streaming only. After all, Sausage Party had a theatrical release, did it not? I judge a movie's quality based on the movie itself, not the format in which it is released to an audience. I don't doubt that I'm in the minority here, but as times change and more generations are raised watching Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime I have a feeling that a growing share of the population will feel as I do. And to be honest, I think theaters are overrated anyway --- I can watch a film here at home on my 7.2 Dolby Surround Sound 4k television, on my own couch, with a better selection of snacks and no need to pay for overpriced popcorn, and I don't have to travel any farther than my living room. To me, it's almost a certainty that movie theaters are on their last legs, and it won't be more than a few decades before they become what Blockbuster is to us today. That's my prediction, at least. And quite frankly, I think we'll all be better off for it. I know I will.

  3.  @MuffinMachine  Same. I don't agree either. But maybe it's just because I'm young (21), and I find the whole theater experience a hassle and overrated anyway.

  4.  @Luizanimado  Yes, agreed! Not only can you pause at home, but it's so much easier (ironically) to notice small details when you aren't fixated on one part of the screen because it's too large, and sound can sometimes be muffled (the score might be louder than the dialogue, something I find EXTREMELY annoying), AND you don't have to worry about the overexcited kid behind you kicking the back of your seat!
