It's probably important to get it into theatres because there still exists a stigma that direct-to-video features are inferior to theatrical features.

Increasingly however it seems that stigma is going away. In fact a number of indie distributors are currently experimenting with simultaneous theatrical + VOD + streaming services releases with a degree of success.

As the average age of people who've come to assume streaming services like Netflix as the norm increases, I think we might a see a greater willingness to forego theatrical releases altogether.
