In Theaters | On HBO Max | Exact Same Day )

The problem with home streaming is it will kill the film industry.. If you can have a steam online to watch a film legally. There will be an illegal copy within an hour.
If its a pay per view payment like a boxing match then a lot of people will be dishonest, however if the film is part of their current package, like Netflix films then people will come continue paying the subscription.

Only way I see it working is if one streaming service becomes a monopoly that we all pay for.

This is true if they don't do it properly. When Netflix had everything, piracy dropped massively then everyone got greedy, split all the content and piracy is on the up again. Obviously they won't do it properly though and a lot will get pirated.

I'd be happy to pay £10 per movie to watch a blockbuster at home in 4k. I'd also still go to the cinema every now and again for action films.
