Brooks Barnes and Shawn Hubler report:
But many people in Hollywood viewed his comments with extreme skepticism. (“Key words: ‘right now,’” one agent said.) As recently as April, in response to a question at the Time100 Summit about declines at the overall box office, Mr. Sarandos said: “What is the consumer trying to tell us? That they’d like to watch movies at home.” He also called theaters “an outmoded idea” for most people[emphasis added]
