I see a lot of cinemas getting bankrupt. They already only earn on popcorn and fizzy drinks and now they are losing the advantage of the earlier screening.Last Friday, a Federal judge ruled in the DoJ's favor that the Paramount Consent Decrees were no longer necessary. This paves the way for studios to buy up theater chains, meaning that the theater owners could eventually be the studios, themselves. That'll mostly remove that particular roadblock to simultaneous theater and home releases that you mentioned.
