Hundreds of billions?
Anyway, the point is they don't get theatre revenues from snacks, so they only have to look at ticket sales, and find a price that compensates them for home viewing similar to theatres. With everyone staying home looking for content, it may work out OK for them. It's obviously a newish idea, but they have been toying with it for a few years now. If they can make their money, why do they care what screen it comes out on? Particularity at a point in history when those screens aren't available.
