and on many movies it's hurting their own box office, especially non-"tentpole" films. So many people (including some right here) now days say things like "oh, it'll be on streaming in like a month, I'll just wait" (especially if it's coming to a streaming service they get, rather than just digital purchase or rental), when if it was the old 3-month wait, or even the old 6-month wait, they would probably see it in the theater. then still watch it again when it hits streaming.
