    If nobody is watching at the big screen then less movies are made for the big screen, which drives more people away from the big screen. It’s a self-fullfilling cycle.

      Most movies aren’t made for the big screen anymore anyway. The studios own the streaming channels, and that’s where the money is. Marvel movies are designed to stay in the theater for a few weeks, but the rest are destined for a shorter release window so they can go straight to streaming.
