Movie Industry

Universal is coming out with a streaming network.  All the major studios and some Cable networks are coming out with one.  I wonder, how is the Theater industry to survive.  Yes, they have upgraded.  Is this too little, too late?  What are they going to show if the creators are only concerned about their own streaming content?  I don't know if you noticed, but the summer box office was very slim.  I did not even really see many movies.  It seems studios do not like to counter program or even compete against big titles.  Theaters still have not noticed that most movies make their money in the first two weeks.  After that, another big movie comes out.  Word of mouth is a lot quicker than in my younger years.  People are posting their thoughts instantly online.  Maybe theater companies need to work with the streaming networks or like all industries dealing with future technology they will become obsolete.  Sad as it is, my home viewing is comparable.  Why go to a theater?
