At least Amazon releases its films in the theaters. Once that market diminishes, it will have an overall detrimental affect on the end product.

Well, FWIW, there's a lot of small theaters here in NYC (Can think of at least 8 off the top of my head) that play old movies all the time. I get out as often as I can, and these places are usually a full house (Though granted, I'm going to see "Stayin' Alive" next week and there's definitely a lot of seats still available, lol). I've got at least 6 old movies that I'm going to see this month, and as the weather gets warmer these places start putting out more and more of the good stuff. I've never been to a drive-in movie before but I hear they still exist, so there's that to.
