It's easier to make them feel deprived if the movie is good. Right now nothing Disney is showing makes me want to rush out to the theater to see it, and I don't have Disney+, so that's not the reason for my lack of motivation. It's just that their recent features seem so blah.
But certainly if a movie is GOOD, it has far more earning potential if it gets a longer theatrical release before being relegated to a streaming platform where it can be watched for no additional charge. I can't imagine any movie actually earning 1 billion dollars in revenue solely through streaming.
This. I took my son to see Elemental because it both the story and the animation looked interesting and original. Wish looks utterly generic. Elemental made me curious, Wish has not. And when Disney + because so cluttered with generic, lifeless goop, I'll drop that subscription like I dropped Netflix.
