Yet isn't this precisely the move which will just accelerate the erosion of the significance of events like Cannes?

The Grammys went in the opposite direction this year. Opening the competition to streaming only for the first time. Two steps forward one step back. Cannes will come around in the next 5-10 years or become obsolete.

Theatres should be able to show streaming movies. I'm sure they have the tech for it. Licensing and permissions are always a thorny beast for new tech though.

This sounds kind of strange. It's Netflix itself after all that does not license the movies for anything else than streaming.
