Maybe the movie industry saw the music industry as a cautionary tale and doubled down with DRM and exclusivity. The difference is bitrate and music sharing happened first, giving the film industry time to react.

The movie industry has been strongly pushing exclusivity and DRM since the introduction of the VCR.
