Some of the biggest American theater chains were on the brink of bankruptcy. And US movie studios started trying something new: releasing big movies digitally and in theaters at the same time. The "theatrical window," when a movie plays only in theaters, typically has a minimum length set by deals between movie studios and movie theaters. You might remember a time when the theatrical window was long, and you had to wait close to a year before a movie would come out on video or DVD. But over the years, as options for home viewing have proliferated, that window has shrunk. By 2019, many movies were becoming available at home less than 3 months after their original release. Behind that shrinking window were decades-long negotiations between theaters and studios over how long that window should be — and it seemed like movie studios had gradually gotten the upper hand. But the pandemic gave the studios leverage like never before. Now they could bypass movie theaters altogether. But in the end, they chose not to. Big movies still come out in theaters first. The theatrical window still exists. Why? Make sure you never miss behind-the-scenes content in the Vox Video newsletter.
