    I just don’t see how 4 episodes of streaming competes with a theatrical release. Nobody is like “Man, I’d like to watch that new Disney+ show, but I’m going to go to the theater and forget it even exists!”

    People will just do both (if they’re interested in both).

      I should clarify, competes from a news cycle/marketing perspective. Most people aren’t going to know that Eyes of Wakanda exists.

      Next weekend the headline is going to be “Fantastic Four rises/falls in the box office” and not “Eyes of Wakanda shows us an exciting/boring world”.
