Yes, but as streaming grows you have to wonder how much of that is actually "watching movies".

As I mentioned in the thread about the new Filmstruck service, I'm convinced all the money will be going to subscription, not selling/renting individual titles, in the same way the music industry has gone. The next step will be a service that lets you view all available titles instead of a rotating list of titles like Netflix currently does.
