Because no one would pay $10 to $13 to go out and watch a movie in the theatre, when they could pay $2 to watch it in the comfort of their own home. That's why movies aren't released on DVD until after they've been in theatres: theatres wouldn't make any money otherwise.
I mean, sometimes people enjoy going out to see a movie on the big screen, which is why some theatres have classic movie screenings. But they usually charge a greatly-reduced fee for classic movie screenings, because they know people won't come otherwise, since it would cost them only a few dollars to rent the movie themselves. Theatres would definitely lose over 90% of their income if all movies were released directly to DVD.
They are not available due to the fact that they are not able to stream. They can be sent to you through the mail if you have a full Netflix account but some movies just can not be viewed in the same way.
Netflix pays for licensing of movies and television programming. Restrictions on how that content can be acquired determines what can and cannot be streamed vs. mail-only DVD media. It is much less expensive to stream content and Netflix is striving to deliver a streaming only service since many households can now support the requirements for 720p surround sound HD movies.
It depends on what kind, and how much it is worth.
When a movie says "only in Theaters" it simply means that the movie is not yet available to view outside of a theater
SO you can go spend more money on the whole DVD (somtimes)
they are sold out
It depends on your area. Most successful theaters will show the newest movies when they come out. Some theaters specialize in certain genres.
If a theater is showing old films made before the late 1960's (before the current rating system), then these are usually acceptable for all ages. Most theaters today will not show a new unrated film. If there is a theater showing one, an age recommendation of some kind will probably be on the poster or sign.
In the United States, the Motion Picture Association of America rates all films submitted to it. It is not a requirement that a film be submitted, but most theaters will not show an unrated film.
Films can be for entertainment or for education. Many films do both - show you facts or teach an important lesson and entertain you at the same time.

No, this is not a requirement. But many theaters will not show an unrated film. Unrated films are more common in the direct to video market.
