From Variety:
Netflix has made good on its high-profile promise to deliver new movies every week.
Teased last October in national commercial spots, the streaming monolith is guaranteeing its roughly 193 million subscribers unseen features every week in 2021. Largely consisting of original productions as well as some splashy acquisitions, the slate has 71 titles across genres — from musicals to action, romantic comedies to family animation.
Dwayne Johnson, Melissa McCarthy, Halle Berry, Jason Momoa, Amy Adams, Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth and Lin-Manuel Miranda are among those featured in sizzle reel released Tuesday (watch below) showcasing their respective projects, which will roll out over the next 12 months.

So this may be it folks, the theaters may have heard the last nail banged into the coffin lid. It may be shut for good. It isn’t the amount of content going up at the site as much as it is the schedule and the star power. Actors are advertisements, investments if you will, to make sure that the marriage of art and commerce give the investors a return. The names on the list and the amount of coverage this is getting with no doubt help the films to be successful.
On the one hand, it is nice to sit at home and just enjoy a movie in the comfort of my own home. I can honestly say, however, that I have had just as many comfortable moments in the theater. I rarely have the kind of stand up and cheer moments at home that happen in the theater. Seeing THE FORCE AWAKENS and AVENGERS: ENDGAME in a crowded theater on opening night is something I will never forget.
I hope that theaters don’t die, but it looks like they will at least diminish. There will be less which means the demand will go up more and prices will most likely rise. The amount of money the studios were making through the theater system before “the thing” was astronomical and I am sure they would do anything to get back to it. I’m down for locking all the actors in their homes and getting to tour them like a amusement park ride. That would be totally sweet! DEAD THEATERS/10
