Disney CEO Bob Chapek doesn't think movie releases will ever go back to the old way - The A.V. Club

Basically, while AMC was worrying about NBCUniversal upending the traditional movie release model, the other major studios… upended the traditional movie release model.

That came out during a Q&A session at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media, And Telecommunications Conference (via The Wrap), with Chapek explaining that people have now gotten used to “the luxury of an entire year of getting titles at home pretty much when they want them.” He added that he doesn’t want to “cut the legs off a theatrical exhibition run,” but it’s clear that he’s not convinced that people will even want that anymore now that they know the studios are willing and able to release big movies online through their dedicated streaming platforms.
