The document discusses the movie distribution timeline, beginning with theatrical release in primary theaters for 4 months. It then moves to secondary theaters, digital downloads, rental services, premium cable networks, and streaming services like Netflix over 10+ months and 34+ months. This timeline places studios in between the "Old World" of theaters and cable companies and the "New World" of digital services like Netflix, Amazon and Apple that sell movies directly and use them to support other business models. It suggests that studios may consider reframing their approach to also sell movies directly rather than relying on the traditional distribution chain.
