These pacts give Universal the option (key word: option) to put new releases on home entertainment platforms earlier than ever. Is this the final nail in the coffin for theaters?

Films that generate at least $50 million in opening weekend ticket sales, however, will have to play exclusively in theaters for 31 days, or five full weekends. Under the terms of the agreement, Universal can put new movies on premium video-on-demand platforms in as little as 17 days.
