Down-Stream Effect


The movie world was up in arms recently over Warner Bros' stunning decision to release its movies on streaming site HBO Max at the same time as cinemas.

From a past of showing movies exclusively in cinemas and maybe watching it on TV say 3 years later; the role of cable TV & streaming services has shown movies appearing on TV closer & closer to the time at cinemas; and now it has reached full circle with showing at the same time.

So the question is: will people still go to the cinemas instead of watching it at home? Is the power & sound system of the cinema enough to bring people there? How much business will be affected? Is this the beginning of the end for cinemas?
