Home Viewing

Steven Spielberg says it's "okay" to watch a "first-run movie on a screen in your home" but draws the line at "very tiny" smartphone screens

Director Steven Spielberg has softened his stance on streaming, stating it's acceptable to watch first-run movies on home screens, though he still prefers the theatrical experience. He emphasized the importance of communal viewing and cautioned against watching films on small smartphone screens. Spielberg's company, Amblin, has produced content for Netflix, though he has not personally directed for a streaming giant.
