Movie longevity is one factor. Maybe.
Paying entrance fees that are easily the price of a streaming service for an entire month is another. Definitely.
They did this to themselves. Crazy expensive prices, snacks no one can afford, dingy theaters, allowing noisy annoying patrons, there's no benefit now.
Plus:
Not banning phones so there's always some shithead distracting from the experience with a giant glowing rectangles
Releasing a bunch of shitty mid movies that are all derivatives of existing IP
