Studios like Disney and Warner Bros have taken a step to lower their box-office by applying for hybrid or day-and-date releases with films to be premiered on their respective platforms at the same time in theatres.

This is the main problem for Sony as they do not have popular and dedicated streaming platforms like HBO Max or Disney+.
