At the end of the day boycotting a studio will only harm themselves and their profits.

They're already in trouble, if they lose the exclusivity window then they're finished. The studios already strong-arm cinemas into taking progressively less and less money from ticket sales and ones like Disney even try to dictate how many screens they have for their films with the threat of withholding films like Star Wars if they don't comply.
If the studios get their way the multiplex will die. Independent and smaller cinemas like Curzon will survive as their audience likes the cinema experience and watches smaller films but the huge, 20 screen, mega-cinemas operate at scale.
