Streaming has become a very popular way to watch movies and is making movie theaters less valuable. Watching your favorite movies and shows in the comfort of your own home is better than going to the movies. It is cheaper and there are no rules giving you the freedom to be as loud as you want or eat whatever snacks you like. 

The amount of short movies is less and movies tend to be over two hours now. Sitting in an uncomfortable theater for that amount of time can ruin the movie and the experience. Theaters can also be crowded and loud and it can be distracting and hard to focus on what you are watching. 

When streaming you can watch whatever you want and when going to the movies it is a limited selection as you can only see what is showing at the time. Most movies come out on streaming platforms eventually so if you wait a few months you can watch at home.

The ability to pause what you are watching can be important if you are confused about the plot or need to use the restroom in contrast to when you are watching at the movie theater and cannot pause. If you watch on streaming none of this is an issue.

Going to the movies can be expensive and when you watch at home it is more affordable and flexible. The average movie ticket today costs anywhere from $16-20 and that’s not including snacks. If you have a busy life and don’t have time to go to movie theaters then streaming is the answer.
