Is there any reasonable level of IP protection/DRM which may be employed by movie studios?

Should all films have simultaneous worldwide cross-platform releases, never theater only? If not, it seems some kind of defenses on the high-quality digital files for theaters would be a rare case where DRM seems somewhat justifiable… assuming it’s robust (beyond mergers/closures of the provider), and consumers never have to think about it.

Would love to hear arguments both for and against any protection schemes for any film ever.
