The availability of a particular cinematic work on a streaming platform allows viewers to access the film through a subscription-based service. This enables convenient viewing from various devices and locations, dependent on geographic licensing agreements and the platform’s content library.
The presence of a film on a widely-used streaming service expands its audience reach and potential for rediscovery. It provides an opportunity for individuals unfamiliar with the original theatrical release to engage with the narrative and performances. Furthermore, it can offer continued revenue streams for the content creators through licensing and viewership-based royalties.
