It's remarkable that they do all this in the context of box office revenues cratering. In 2024 American theaters has less gross ticket sales than they did in 1982, in constant dollars. The whole thing of movie theaters is just over.

Why does that context matter? It's not as if the use of DRM for movie theater distribution influences whether or not somebody goes to see a movie.

No, the other direction. Clearly the problem is that nobody wants their product, not that everyone wants to steal it.

Without DRM, even less people would visit a movie theater.
