There’s no incentive to keep movies in theaters when the studios own the streaming channels.

I still don't understand why people pre-order digital/streaming content.

When you put it like that, yeah, it doesn't really make sense. It's not like it's gonna go out of stock...

But I can think of a few reasons. Maybe they have the money to pay for it now, but might not have it later. Or they just want to watch it the second it becomes available.

I can't explain how important this is.

If you have 35 bucks today, but won't in 3 weeks. Do not, in any circumstances, spend it pre ordering a fucking sonic movie.

Yeah, my Radarr takes care of this... I still want to go to the cinema to watch it though.
