Well yeah, it was a cheaper option. Now you have to pay for HBO, HBO+, Hulu, Amazon prime, PBS all access, Disney+, Netflix... and when these new movies that were announced to come out on these streaming services at the same time that they are in theaters, you'll have to pay separately to watch them like it was the case with Mulan.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
