People who watch the movie more than nine times at a movie theater in a year said that they are watching content on streaming service for more than 11 hours a week on average. On the contrary, in the case of a person who only watched a movie at a movie theater once or twice a year, the average weekly viewing time of the streaming service was about seven hours.

This survey was entrusted to the EY by the American Association of Theater Owners (NATO), a trade association by American entertainers, and is aimed at providing exclusive content such as " Outro King - Scottish Heroes " and " ROMA / Roma " It is a survey conducted to show that "Netflix does not compete with movie theater" against Netflix which is expanding.

NATO's media research director Phil Contolino said, "There is no conflict between streaming service and the cinema.The content lovers are watching them on various platforms and all platforms are consumer minds It exists as an option in ".

In fact, from the results of the survey, it is clear that the tendency that "people who do not watch movies much in a movie theater will not see many programs and movies on streaming services" became clear. In addition, half of those who did not go to the cinema at least once in the past year said they did not watch content at all with streaming service. There were only 18% of those who did not go to the cinema at least once a year and said they were watching content with streaming service for more than 8 hours a week.

In addition, there is a result that it can be understood that the claim that the departure of the movie theater is accelerating among young people due to the appearance of streaming service is also unfounded. The average number of visits to movie theaters of the respondents from 13 years old to 17 years old (number of times we went to the movie theater and watched movies) was about 7.3 times, and the average usage time of the streaming service was 9.2 hours on average per week , This number seems to be higher than any other age group.

The age group with the lowest number of visits to the average movie theater during the year was a group of 18 to 37 years old, about 6 times. The group's streaming service usage time is 8.6 hours on average on a weekly basis, and low numbers are shown both in the number of visits to movie theaters and in consumption time of streaming.
