It means the theatrical runs will be shorter, with the movies releasing earlier on digital platforms. As cringe as corpo speak is, I actually agree with movies releasing digitally earlier (preferably at the same time as anywhere else) and with "evolution" often being a term used for something changing for the better, I think it fits here. But still, fuck Netflix and the rest of them.

I would gladly pay extra to wach theatrical releases on day one at home. So tired of cinemas.

But meh, I cancelled all my streaming and went full piracy mode so I guess they lost me as a costumer already either way out of pure inconvenience.

Oh yeah, streaming is fucked, I don't subscribe to any.

Piracy is a service problem.

I think they're seeing the success with K-Pop Demon Hunters sing along in theaters, and viral moments like Chicken Jockey as the future of cinema, which means this is the content they're going to evolve into producing.

Yup, mindless slop for the piggies.
