That's what I'm saying. Didn't it just come out like two weeks ago? Since when did we start speed running theatrical runs? Avatar 3 was in theaters for damn near two months

years ago. the average theatrical run is like 3 weeks, maybe 4-5 if it's a BIG movie with staying power like Mario Galaxy.

the days of a movie being in theaters for 2-3 months are 10 years ago or more. after 2-3 months the movie is available to stream. 2nd and third run theaters also don't exist anymore.
