I love a good mega-action-blockbuster movie, don't get me wrong. I love them all. But it's unfortunate that basically EVERY major movie is a CGI orgy block-buster movie. But that's for good reason. The only thing theaters really have to compete with home viewings is the super-giant screen and booming surround sound. But because of that, few people are paying $15 a ticket to watch a simple character drama or a rom-com.
By releasing their main attractions to same-day streaming, this will encourage studios to reduce production budgets and open their production opportunities to more character driven stories and fewer CGI mega-movies. I'm 100% for this.

This is my main complaint about so many action movies. It's the Marvel-ization of action movies. Inevitably, there will be a 30 minute CGI fight scene at the end. At the end of every movie. It's so boring. So very, very boring. It's almost inescapable. I also don't know anyone who really looks forward to the long fight scenes, so I don't know for whom the movies are being made. Kids? The Chinese mainland? Action movies are, in general, just so bad lately.
I'm not really with you on that. I love a good CGI fight scene against a soulless/faceless CGI army. I'll eat that stuff up! I'll pay $15 for that, sure.
It just doesn't have to be every movie. Give me a good rom-com or court drama that I don't have to pay $15 a ticket to go see.
