Why can’t they have the same shit? Because each studio is trying to monopolize their best properties instead of playing ball on neutral ground again. The last time they did that it was Netflix and they lost out on enough profits to make Netflix one of the biggest studios in Hollywood.
Unfortunately, this is very similar to the old days of Hollywood when each studio had their own line of movie theaters and didn’t air their films at competing studios’ theaters. That system was eventually broken up by a major court case ruling that said the studio system violated US federal antitrust law.
