Eli5: movies are created to be seen on a big screen in a theatre. Why aren’t classic movies more often released into theaters?
In: Other
Because people don’t pay to go see them.
There are few older movies getting limited re-releases from time to time, but basically only James Cameron gets people to pay money to watch his movies again and again in Cinema.
For other movies they are usually lucky if they pay for the cost of the re-release itself and as such studios are not very inclined to have them.
