I get that this is tongue-in-cheek call to remember that movie theaters are a thing, but this isn't outside the realm of possibility.

If we consider that a lot of mainstream "big screen" movies are digitally distributed, the distinction is actually very small. The only real difference is licensing; individual screening vs group screening. And a big company like Netflix probably has a lot of leverage to competitively negotiate this already since they have established relationships with most media companies.
