Does streaming weaken cinema culture?Yes, but not entirely.Streaming has made movies more accessible and convenient, pulling audiences away from theaters—especially for mid-budget films. Global box office trends show a clear decline in theatrical attendance since the rise of Netflix, Disney+, and others, with many viewers now preferring home viewing.However, cinemas still thrive as premium, communal experiences. Blockbusters like Oppenheimer, Dune: Part Two, and Avatar sequels prove that people are willing to go to theaters for spectacle, sound design, and shared emotion that streaming can't fully replicate.In short: streaming has eroded routine cinema-going, but it has also sharpened the distinction between "content" and "event" movies. The big screen isn't dying—it’s becoming more selective and special.→ Source: The Atlantic – "The Slow Death of the Movie Theater" → Box Office Mojo – Annual Theatrical Trends
