Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter A new buddy comedy from Please Don’t Destroy, the writing trio of “Saturday Night Live” fame, will no longer play in theaters. Instead, the untitled movie will premiere exclusively on Peacock, the streaming service owned by NBCUniversal, on Nov. 17. Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy, better known as Please Don’t Destroy, wrote the film, which was produced by Judd Apatow and Jimmy Miller. The story centers on three childhood friends who live and work together.

But for the most part, studios have been reverting to exclusive releases on either theatrical or streaming because it’s more profitable than the hybrid rollout model. As part of the shakeup, another Universal comedy, the R-rated “Strays,” which boasts Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx among its voice cast, will move from June 9 to Aug. 18 to avoid the crush of summer blockbuster
