They re-release movies all the time and they continually sell out. They released the original Star Wars a couple years ago in theaters across the country and it did VERY well.
People like going to the theater for the experience. It's fun and an event.
Right, that is a nostalgia thing. I think that is similar to the occasional trip to a drive in theater. It's cool but it's not really all that sustainable. There is a reason most the drive in movie theaters in the country went out of business. Eventually the in theater experience outweighed the drive in one, similar to what will happen with home viewing experience.
You are welcome to disagree, but it's pretty obvious it's is coming. The real question will be how does it do? All production companies won't go to it at once so it'll almost be as much about who makes the move first to prove it out more than anything. Netflix for instance tried to buy distribution rights to Crazy Rich Asians. Looking at Disney attempting to setup it's own streaming service, why wouldn't they launch it with sole distribution of a Marvel movie?
