Most people don't wait until a movie comes on free tv before watching live, renting, buying or streaming.

That's usually a long time.

When you're talking about timelines as short as weeks, you're going to get a ton of people waiting. They might still go to a theater, even, but one with much cheaper tickets.

How many at 3 years specifically? I'm not sure, but it's a risk to be considered.
