Sure. Take the word of Lefty shill site Screen Rant. 
They'd rather wait and watch the movie at home because they have no money to go out and do anything anymore.
If you're going to bother re-posting an article from a Lefty site, at least post one from an outfit that at least pretends to be unbiased...
Bloomberg: Majority of Middle-Class Americans Say They Struggle Financially
Quote:
Almost two-thirds of Americans considered middle class said they are facing economic hardship and don’t anticipate a change for the rest of their lives, according to a poll commissioned by the National True Cost of Living Coalition.
By many traditional measures, the US economy is strong, with robust labor, housing and stock markets, as well as solid gross domestic product growth. But the data don’t capture the financial insecurity of millions of households who worry about their future and are unable to save, according to the group, created this year to come up with cost-of-living tools that help gauge economic well-being.
In the large poll of 2,500 adults, 65% of people who earn more than 200% of the federal poverty level — that’s at least $60,000 for a family of four, often considered middle class — said they are struggling financially.
A sizable share of higher-income Americans also feel financially insecure. The survey shows that a quarter of people making over five times the federal poverty level — an annual income of more than $150,000 for a family of four — worry about paying their bills.
That's the middle-class people making $60-$150k or more that nobody wants to hear whining about how rough they've got it right now. Especially since the whites among them are the ones most likely to have voted in the people responsible for it.
If they think they're struggling, how do you think the people who are earning less than $60k per household are holding up in Joe Biden*'s America?
Just ask the movie studios in 2024. They'll tell you.

Would you like to try that again... in English this time please?
I have no idea what the fuck you're even on about now.
But really though. Don't bother. I have no interest in anything you have to say.
Everybody else in the country knows the economy sucks right now except for the uber-rich and TDS sufferers. The chronic lies of the Democrat Party are about to be paid for threefold.

. . . panicking studios' tendency to throw movies onto streaming after a scant few weeks has permanently altered the "gotta see it on the big screen" urgency.
Which is all a shame. The movie kinda rules, even if it's a different model of muscle car than Fury Road, and its failure will only convince Hollywood not to bet on eccentric weirdoes with grand visions. See it in theaters while you still can, because it'll probably be released digitally before the month is out.
Where to stream: Nowhere yet, but on Max far too soon.

This is nothing new. It began in 2020 when Democrats shut down all the movie theaters over a case of the sniffles.
Though it hadn't gotten back to pre-2020 levels, both the US and Worldwide Box Offices have seen significant gains in billions grossed over the last 3 years and they were on track to getting back to normal.
Until this year...
The people have been priced out of eating at freakin' McDonalds in Joe Biden*'s economy. They sure as shit aren't thinking about dropping all that money for a night out at the theater when that money is better spent keeping the electricity on, or paying down credit card debt they amassed this month just paying for their regular groceries.
The Democrats have put the fear of the unknown at the forefront of everybody's mind. That's why they're going to lose, again. And the cycle starts all over.

No. This movie will not be released on streaming within a month. It's likely going to get a release sometime in mid July.

Furiosa has only been in theaters for 12 days.
The only way they're releasing this on Max in June is if it just drops to no views at all, immediately. It's already a huge box office flop... there's no reason to shoot themselves in the foot and give people more of a reason not to go see it.
Now... Universal on the other hand? They gave The Fall Guy a digital release only 3 weeks after it came out.
But so what? They released Five Nights at Freddy's on Peacock the very same day they released it in theaters last year and that grossed $297 Million on a $20 Million budget in the 56 days it was in theaters.
Even though it had a same day online release and only cost $20 Million to make, FNAF made more money in 2023 than all but 4 US releases in the first 5 months of 2024.
FNAF cost less than 1/6th of what The Fall Guy cost, was released on streaming on day one instead of after 3 weeks, and it grossed nearly $140 Million more than The Fall Guy has grossed in the theaters. And without having seen either of them I'm willing to bet that FNAF was unarguably the worse movie out of the two.
You seem to have forgotten that we have plenty of recorded data points regarding all of this. 7 months since the release of Five Night's at Freddy's and what we're witnessing is entirely new shift in behavior en masse and over a very short period of time. Studios shortened their box office runs all the way back in 2020 and only a few of them have attempted to go back to the way it was before

Quote:In Texas, nothing was shut down by the national/state/city/county governments. People stopped going on their own. Theaters shut down because few customers were coming. Why stay open if almost nobody buys a ticket? For a fact, why go to the theater when the same movie is on TV for free? To make movie watching special for children and teenagers consuming overpriced snacks?

Addiction to Blockbuster Franchises Is Killing Hollywood
Corporate consolidation means tired and increasingly unpopular sequels.
By Jeet Heer | June 3, 2024
https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/haollywood-blockbuster-ip-ad
diction-box-office/
Traditionally, Memorial Day is the start of Hollywood’s money-making period, the summer season when big blockbusters rake in the cash that keeps the industry afloat. Already suffering this year from post-Covid anxiety about its future, Hollywood experienced the worst Memorial Day weekend opening in three decades. As The Wrap reports, “The No. 1 film for this weekend, ‘Furiosa,’ made just $32 million over the four-day period, making it the lowest No. 1 Memorial Day release since 1995, when the family film ‘Casper’ opened to $22 million before inflation adjustment.” In fact, when inflation is taken into account, Casper made $45 million in 2024 terms, making it much more successful than Furiosa.
This disappointing weekend came on the heels of a broader box office downturn. As The Hollywood Reporter observed, “May has been brutal in terms of moviegoing. For the May 1-19 corridor, domestic box office revenue is off nearly 20 percent from last year and 50 percent behind 2019.”
Furiosa, the fifth film in the venerable postapocalyptic Mad Max franchise, joins a long string of movies—many from long-standing franchises that were previously cash cows—that have either bombed or greatly underperformed. In the last two years, this includes Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One, as well as a string of flops from the once-dominant superhero genre adapting works from Marvel and DC comics. As The Hollywood Reporter noted last January, “Superhero fare—the genre that helped prop up the business for well over a decade—no longer got a free pass as megabudget pics bombed, including The Flash and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, both from DC, and Marvel Studios’ The Marvels.”
Superhero movies and other franchises are all intellectual property (IP) films: valued because they can feed into sequels and merchandise, all under corporate control. In the past, they held the promise of surefire profit, much valued by studios in an industry increasingly reliant on blockbusters making back their cost quickly in large theaters. This model of reliance on IP blockbusters is now dying, leading to what The Hollywood Reporter calls “an existential crisis.” To be sure, some franchises are still profitable. Avatar II made more than $2.3 billion and Dune: Part Two made $711 (nearly double that of Dune: Part One, which made $406 million). But this sort of IP success is increasingly rare and unpredictable.
Even as traditional IP movies falter, the big hits of the last two years have tended to be “unicorn” movies, unpredictable breakout hits, notably Oppenheimer, Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour, and Barbie. Oppenheimer made nearly $1 billion worldwide, while Barbie made nearly $1.45 billion. The problem for Hollywood is that none of these movies offer a predictable model the way the Marvel Cinematic Universe did in its prime. Oppenheimer’s success doesn’t mean that a movie about another physicist—say, Max Planck or Enrico Fermi—would do well. Barbie, based on a popular Mattel doll, was an IP movie, but its success was surely due not just to the brand name but also the auteur’s freedom granted to director Gerta Gerwig, who unexpectedly turned the movie into a feminist parable. With its addiction to IP, Hollywood is planning to launch many other movies based on Mattel toys (Hot Wheels, Magicbox, and View-Master, among many others), but it seems improbable that Barbie’s magic will rub off on them. The smash box office of The Eras Tour is based on the singular popularity of Taylor Swift.
Hollywood’s current problem isn’t just the failure of an odd film here and there. After all, box office bombs are nearly as old as the movies themselves, with famous stinkers like The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964), Ishtar (1986), and Battlefield Earth (2000) littering the histor

I'd never say that directly. But Democrat policy the last 3.5 years has made living unaffordable for a majority of Americans despite the constant Legacy Media lies to the contrary.
Five Nights at Freddy's was launched on Peacock the very day it was released in theaters last year and it has outperformed every US release in 2024 except for 4. Most of these failures cost 6 to 10 times as much as FNAF cost to make.
Also, Furiosa will not be seeing a June release. I won't explain myself again because it's already explained in detail why you're wrong, though you choose not to read it twice.
