I hope there is some credence to this and it happens.

Now I likely would never go to a theater again. I do actually think after the ad blitz that accompanies releases quick release for home streaming would considerably enhance their revenue.
And to think I remember growing up a movie's success was how long it stayed at theaters. As long as people came they kept showing it. American Graffiti stayed around for more than 18 months, and Star Wars a bit over one year in my locale.
Now big build up for months, media blitz for release, and if it has not cleaned up in two weeks it never will. Even some of the most popular are gone within a month. So skipping right over to streaming while the iron is still hot might be a money maker for these guys all things considered.
