There will be a shortened window, forty five days between theater release and when it can be released on streaming. The idea that you can see a film on streaming the same day as it's in cinemas seems to have been defeated after the experiment during the pendemic. Do you think there is some greater recognition that the cinemas have an important role, and the streaming services won't let completely wipe them out? I know a lot of people who still have not been back to cinemas. And i completely understand that decision. There is no easier place, i think, to ga covet than in an enclosed space where you're going to be with a bunch of people all just breathing in
