This strategy was employed at a time when the coronavirus vaccine was just becoming available in the U.S. and audiences were still wary of returning to cinemas.<\/p>\n<p>It has become clear, however, that the dual release has led to cannibalization of theater ticket sales.<\/p>\n<p>Box office analysts foresaw a solid start to the film&#x27;s theatrical run, as it had the second-highest advance ticket sales of any 2021 release, just behind &quot;Black Widow,&quot; according to data from Fandango.<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclosure: Comcast is the parent company of NBCUniversal and CNBC.
