The impact of the pandemic and direct-to-consumer streaming services forced the hand of the studios to offer new theatrical movies at home. And now day-and-date home release has yet another tailwind in its favor: the evolving capabilities of the TV sets people have at home.

The huge haul of home entertainment dollars that’s washed into Hollywood during the pandemic set another record in the first half of 2021, according to new figures from industry organization Digital Entertainment Group. And that record $15.7 billion doesn’t even include as much as $1 billion in premium VOD revenues that studios aren’t reporting publicly, a top studio executive said.

As the pandemic eases, Hollywood studios are shifting to promoting films available only or partly in theaters, the latest data from Tubular Labs suggests.

Is "Mulan" a one-off streaming test for Disney, or the start of a lucrative, recurring model for box office subscriptions?

With movie releases seemingly grinding to a halt amid coronavirus fears, studios could opt to use streaming as a means to get films in front of audiences.
