Cinema, as in the theater itself, will face this "old model" issue soon enough. Smaller character-driven films already have no ability to generate revenue in the theater model; their only way to get made these days is long-form narratives.

The death of the DVD market means films have to recoup their budget costs in the theater run and hope to turn profit through digital distribution rights. It completely collapsed a huge revenue stream leaving just blockbusters standing and the number of failures there is concerning as well.

With fewer movies being made this means fewer tickets annually being sold. The death of the theater isn't far away.

Point is the old model of tv and film doesn't work anymore and the market will adjust accordingly.
