The CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, earlier talked about the studio’s approach toward theatrical and streaming releases. He mentioned that when people see something in theatres,“the value of the content and the overall viewing experience is elevated.”

“As films moved from one window to the next, their overall value is elevated, elevated, elevated. We saw this clearly demonstrated with The Batman and Elvis.”
Both films performed well at the box office and scored a pretty good viewership on streaming services as well. Matt Reeves’The Batmangarnered 4.1 Million viewers in its first week on the streaming platform.
