&gt; Absolutely, but that&#x27;s nothing new. We had direct-to-video or direct-to-tv movies for decades. Direct-to-streaming isn&#x27;t really that disruptive. What we don&#x27;t have is big budget movies bypassing theaters, because why would they? Why wouldn&#x27;t they have theatre run, and then a streaming&#x2F;video&#x2F;TV run?<p>If they can keep selling in theatres then they will. But if Netflix can deliver high enough production values (coupled with higher quality home equipment) then it may put theatres out of business. Since I got a $500 projector I&#x27;ve hardly ever gone to the cinema, and regretted it when I did.
