150 movie theaters have signed up for a new streaming program, which will split the revenue between the distributor & the theater. When buying the movie online, you pick the theater you want to support, and they will get a split of the money, starting with Cannes winner 'Bacurau'.

you're still asking studios to let their brand new 100mil+ movie be pirated at full quality the day of release

How? I would pay to stream a new release at home in an instant.

It being released in a theater means nothing as to ease of pirating. Movies are sent to theater's in a special flash drive. People rip the files all the time after they get sent out, sometimes even before they make it to theaters.

I guess streaming would make it even easier to rip, but it would also make it less appealing to pirate because there would be a legitimate way to watch it home anyways. All this juggling of flash drives and licenses does is make it more difficult to consume content and make pirating more appealing.

How they have things set up NOW makes it really easy for me to watch at home without paying because the only legitimate option they gave me is to leave my house. There is nothing you can say or do that is going to somehow guilt me into paying to give up access to my own clean personal bathroom during a movie just so everyone can keep shipping flash drives to movie theaters.
