Big-budget spectacles (Avatar, superhero epics, horror event films) continue to thrive on the giant screen, immersive sound, and shared audience energy. The "theatrical window" remains the most powerful launchpad for cultural phenomena and long-term streaming value.However, mid-budget adult dramas, arthouse, and many international films increasingly go straight-to-streaming or hybrid, as home setups improve and younger audiences prefer convenience.Verdict: Theaters are no longer essential for every movie, but they remain vital for the biggest cinematic experiences and industry economics.https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/theatrical-window-2026-streaming-impact
