I know 3 years ago, there were still many who refused to go to a theater and be around people due to you know what. But still, total missed opportunity.

As you say, 3 years ago was a different time. I imagine that some of the success of Badlands is due to the goodwill built up by Prey. The franchise was kind of d.o.a. when Prey was released. Not to mention no "predator" in the title. I still think it should have been theatrical, but I don't think you can assume it would have done huge business just because Badlands has.

I would have loved a double feature on the big screen.
