* Increase the theatrical window
Streaming
* Streaming and Cinema are here to co-exist
* Create a perfect ecosystem to make content bigger, leveraging merits of cinemas and streaming
* Big budget films can’t make it big and would not be able to recoup their investments if they come too quickly to streaming
* Probability of Piracy and theft of content is more on streaming
* Theatrical release set the quantitative and qualitative benchmarks and drive greater value for streamers
* Create a perfect eco-system attune to make content bigger leveraging the inherent strengths of theatrical and streaming
