Illegal IPTV could put a film’s later revenue at risk, too

A film’s earning life can outlast its theater run. The next windows might include digital sales or rentals, subscription streaming, television and international markets; their order and exclusivity depend on contracts and the market. Illegal IPTV can compete with a paid option if it offers a movie while it is still in theaters or during a platform’s exclusive period. That could put more than ticket revenue under pressure, potentially reaching later rights income and even decisions about financing future films. But a pirated view is not automatically a lost sale: some viewers might never have been willing to pay.
