Well, not zero chance. Universal is doing it with some movies already. And $10 would be too low, of course.

We'll see how things progress. Without any doubt, they're going to be watching the take on movies like The Hunt to see what streaming looks like compared to their expectations had it been in theaters. We'll see how full theaters are in a few months, six months and 12 months. If things are back to normal in a year, then great. If not, I wouldn't be so sure more movies won't end up going straight to streaming services.
