The viability of the theatrical experience is currently up in the air thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The fact that theaters and movie studios refused to have the streaming conversation until it was right on their door. Universal Pictures were the ones who saw the writing on the wall and delayed all of their movies a year right out of the gate and then released Trolls World Tour on VOD to the anger of theater owners. They have now worked out a deal with AMC and Cinemark to shorten the theatrical window down to seventeen days. One of the big movies that are going to be part of that deal later this year is F9. Star Vin Diesel recently told Total Film that he remains committed to the theatrical experience.
