The core of big movie revenues is the hype, it's marketing that gets millions of people in theaters on the first weeks.
What if Youtube, Netflix, Apple and similar distributors try to provide the same film worldwide on the same day, with a lot of marketing before the event. When they all fund a part of an big budget Christopher Nolan movie, they all get their direct share and a lot of new registered customers.
