The gist of it is that movies now have a shorter theatrical window: “Variety confirms that Cinemark recently signed a deal with Paramount Pictures, The Walt Disney Company, The Warner Bros. Picture Group and Sony Pictures Entertainment. While the details of those deals have not been disclosed, the general premise is that movies will now have a shorter theatrical window. Essentially, movies won't need to run in theaters for as long before releasing to streaming platforms and Blu-Ray/DVD. Cinemark CEO, Mark Zoradi, is seemingly pleased with the terms of the contract, even though the deal would appear to be a loss to its theaters at a brief glance.” screenrant.com/cinemark-disney-paramount-theatrical-window-deal-details/

As long as movies are still around I see no issue with it. Truthfully I think 90 days was TOO long for a movie to stay in theaters.

Heck, it used to be a year between a theatrical release and when it was available to rent or be shown on cable back in the '80s. Maybe it was longer (?).

Longer! It took 3 years for Star Wars to get on video and it didnt premiere on tv until I think 1982.
I think Jaws premiered on tv in 1979.
