i think it's because they want the period of the movie to last long. like what if the avengers had a new movie and everything came out in one day. (which i think would be petty cool.) then everyone would buy all of their stuff and it would be sold out over a short time period. So i think they do that so they can maybe make it last. i might be wrong though. and that LONG period that the movies take to get to streaming really do be giving me stress. i be like why you do this to me

(just to let you know, i have no clue how i can explained it, i tried)
Anyone ever notice how movie theaters aren't free and that it takes months/years to get it on the tv?
Their are lots of people who may be willing to pay because of impatience, but probably wouldn't if every movie was simultaneously released in movies and on home media. The movie industry and artists make most of their money off of films through this method of initial release to theaters and then, AFTER A WAITING PERIOD, to home media & streaming.
It's really not that difficult of a concept to grasp.
