Home theaters can probably replace movie theaters. The big release can all be done on line, same way pay per views movies and sporting events are pumped up and sold. For the immediate future, if movie theaters want to open by thorough cleaning between shows, they will maybe have 2 showings per day, or maybe only one. And no one food. Its been years since I have been in a movie theater, what I remember most is my feet being stuck to the sticky floor.
Going directly on line for movie producers and directors who can afford it seems like a natural step forward. It is already happening for the big studios and broadcast operations. The go to next step for movies that didn't make it big was straight to DVD. DVDs are being replaced by streaming services, so part of the process is already being put into place.
The fact that studios can't make big bucks on a movie released to a streaming service is probably only temporary. That was preventing studios from using streaming services until corona came along. Now it is being tried out a head of schedule, which means the studios are able to see exactly what happens. In the beginning there were only a few TV channels. Streaming services are popping up all over the place, so it is only a matter of time before it happened, as it is, everything technical got speeded up by corona.
The rising prices to see a movie in a movie theater aren't helping to boost movie theater attendance in the long run. But none of this will change how the movies are made. Total reliance on video will probably only make the movies worse, not better.
