It’s the worst. This whole thing stinks for movie goers.
Now they can call themselves "Movie Stayers"
It sucks but the world has been moving to streaming only for over a decade. Covid just sped it up.

Fine with me. I don't get fatigued at home.

17 days?
Before 2020, a typical run was anywhere from 6-12 weeks in theatre.
Top Gun: Maverick was #1 at the box office on Memorial Day and Labor Day.

I agree, there are certainly downsides to the theater - prices, bad luck of having annoying/loud/rude customers in the same theater was you - but man seeing a film in the theater can be just a great and different experience that's really difficult to duplicate at home even with things like surround sound, large and relatively cheap TVs etc
Completely agree. Went to Avatar 3D IMAX on Tuesday and there's no home theater that's going to duplicate. However, I wanted to punch a couple people there

Are we for sure Netflix is still even able to buy WB? Wasn't Paramount going to poison pill the deal?

I think this is a decent compromise.

WB has had an incredible year. Sinners, and Weapons, for example, were huge wins because they stayed in theaters. Sinners kept doing better and better every week. That doesn't happen with a 2 week window.
Think about the amount of people who would have seen those films if they had both premiered on streaming instead. Netflix obviously doesn't need the theatrical business model, otherwise they would release their original films theatrically.
Sinners and Weapons would have made more money for Netflix on its streaming site than it would have in the theater.

I still can’t believe they stripped the songs out of that.

Their subscribers. One month of revenue from their subscribers more than makes up for the budgets that they would’ve put into those films had they been the ones who made them.
Why split those profits with the movie theaters when they can make 100% of the profits by releasing it directly to their streaming service?

Assuming Netflix gets on average $12/month for each subscription then they are generating about $43.5 billion in revenue. They really have no reason to put things in theaters. It is an unneeded platform.

How did Netflix make that big money? What steps have Netflix taken since conception to consolidate market?

So will 500 million be the new billion. Whats the number gonna be that’s considered a success?

Is keeping those two concepts distinct from one another really difficult?
