dont think you can easliy replicate the movie theatre experience in the home ....

No, would be difficult to replicate the experience of trying to watch a movie while being surrounded by people fidgeting, talking, rustling sweet packets, stuffing themselves with popcorn.....

I think you guys are underestimating the Warner move. Other studies will follow. The big bucks are made from streaming now. Disney+ has 70m subscribers. Also a lot more money and creative talent going into TV via Netflix and Amazon.

Yes cinemas will still exist but there will be fewer of them and thus less potential license revenue for Vista.

Funny eh...CNK is doing well but AMC is struggling due to high debts..I guess the most important in investing companies is looking at their debts level

As predicted Disney is following Warner with plans to massively grow Disney+ in the next few years. Lots of blockbuster content skipping theaters and going straight to its streaming service.

Disney said that over the next few years, Disney+ will have roughly 10 new series from Marvel and Star Wars, as well as 15 Disney live action, Disney Animation and Pixar series. Disney also said that 15 new films from Pixar, Disney live action and Disney Animation will be heading to the service.
