AUDIENCE VIEWING PATTERNS IN THEATRICAL AND OTT

This period saw an increase in first-run movies being released directly on streaming platforms. The window between theatrical release and availability on OTT has shortened, sometimes to just a few weeks. And so has the humongous amount of money paid for the OTT rights.
