No, I mean that's just human nature, they get attached to one actors performance, and shun or critisize the rest. The only reason it doesn't happen more in film, is because very rarely does more than one actor play the same character... but when it does, holy shit they'll rip it to pieces.

I mean have you ever gotten in an argument with a die hard fan about who is the better Wonka. Both sides will rip the other to shreds. When personally I think they're both pretty cool interpretations of the character, and enjoy both of them for it.

EDIt: TO actually answer your question. It does affect it, but it's not an issue limited to theater to movie transitions. It's an issue any time they recast a new version of something.
