In this episode I discuss the decision of Universal to release Trolls World Tour on VOD , bypassing the theatres due to the pandemic and their subsequent annoucement that they will be releasing more films day and date in theatres and VOD. AMC and Regal theatres have announced that they will not show any Universal film that does not honor the theatrical window.

Will this be the end of waiting for movies to hit the home market or will there be a course correction to shape a new exhibition window? Check out the episode to hear my thoughts on this potential paradigm shift.
