Do you head for the theater upon release or wait for either Blu-Ray or streaming? (feddit.online)

I used to visit the movie theater (before coronavirus) but now, I seem to lose interest as apparently people have lost etiquette or public courtesy on communal spaces (from using their phone with max brightness, speaking loudly whilst the movie is playing), is it just me feeling this way? I'm like "it'll eventually be re-released on disc or shown on a streaming site soon" (I wouldn't be surprised if coronavirus accelerated the decline of cinemas).

I have no interest in theaters anymore. The quality of 4k HDR on my 65" OLED tv destroyes any theater screen, not even close. I have dolby 5.1 and I control the volume, I don't need become temporary deaf because I wanted to watch an action flick. We can pause, eat, drink, use MY OWN BATHROOM, don't have to worry about loud mouthed idiots on their phones or with their kids. Sure waiting a bit sucks sometimes, but I pirate everything anyway so it's not that long of a wait. Yeah, I don't remember the last time I went to a movie in a theater.
