Does Fox have anything good that's not actually on FXX and thus on Hulu? (I haven't had cable in years, so I'm sincerely asking.)

Pretty much all Fox shows (at least the ones made by their studios) are going to be on Hulu, they were part of the Hulu joint venture before Disney bought them. Arrested Development isn't but that's because Netflix paid to produce the 4th and 5th seasons.

VoD has D&D: Honor Among Thieves as the #1 on iTunes (peaked today), #4 on Vudu (ten days at #1), #7 on Amazon (U.S. only, peaked at 2, Germany release was yesterday), and #10 on google (peaking and climbing rapidly). Outside of Amazon that data is global. Worldwide release dates have varied greatly. Some nations had VoD available the same day as the U.S. But most did not. In the USA Honor Among Thieves has been VoD for four weeks.

On Paramount+ it is the #1 streaming movie in the United States (it's only available in the US) since its first full day on the service May 18 to the present, beating out Scream VI which released that same week, Top Gun: Maverick, Star Trek: Beyond (trek is huge on the platform) and a few other things like Paw Patrol.

It's barely in theaters any more, basically just out in France and Brazil where it had late starts. In the U.S. over Memorial Day it was in less than 200 theaters. France should add another million or so and pass China as the number three nation, if it maintains its current distro and fall for two weeks.

So the DVD and Blu-Ray just came out. The featurettes include "From Dice to Dragons: Honoring the Lore" which stars the main cast members with the crew recounting how the iconic tabletop roleplaying game was adapted into a movie, as well as "Rogues' Gallery: The Heroes of Dungeons & Dragons," which is an in-depth look at each of the unique characters in this movie. A matching featurette called "Fantastic Foes" explores the movie's villains, while "The Bestiary" is a deep dive into the visual effects – both practical and digital – that went into this take on Faerûn. "Forgin the Forgotten Realm" focuses on the film's sets and locations, and finally "Broadswords, Battle-axes & Badass Brawls" gives a behind-the-scenes look at the action, stunts, choreography, and weapons that made this movie a nail-biter.

They also have deleted scenes, extended scenes, and a gag reel. The Blu-Ray comes with a digital download as well. And there is a 4K Ultra HD Steelbook version.

Combined P+, Showtime and Pluto are around 100 million (dropping overlaps). Adding in Showtime makes sense because it will be combined shortly. Falls just a bit short of Disney, so I guess P+ is only the 5th largest streamer in the world and hasn't been out but a couple of years.


CBS and P+ have the next Super Bowl

Interesting Link.

What in the world is Tencent Video and iQIYI?

Tencent is a pretty big company at this point (with fingers in all sorts of things you would never expect them to have fingers in) so I expect it is something to do with the Chinese audiences? Is that the ssame for iQIYI? Whatever they are, they appear to be big.

They're laying staff off, cut their dividend to shareholders without warning and their stock is way down.

Whatever else we can say, those last two are hardly independent indicators.

Overall, we must remember that the stock market isn't really driven by the long-term health of the business. Indeed, following the desires of classic stock investors seems to lead to actions that are not clearly in the best interest in the long-term viability of the service.

Firing staff is either bad, or really good, depending on what staff is being let go, and why.

up to #4 on Amazon, up to #1 on Google. Stable on the other VoD at link.

On P+ so many Americans are streaming it that it is now their global #12 (new high). It's not released globally yet.

This is the modern operating environment for movies that are owned by a studio with a streaming platform. The digital numbers are large, multi-week success. It is gaining momentum still. This wasn't a release and done movie on digital.

Physical recordings are out now.

And this is precisely why they overspent (relative to old norms) on the budget for the film. Had they gone cheap with the actors (no Grant, Pine or Rodriguez) and/or production budget (drop the Thunderchaud and maze set pieces) it wouldn't be doing nearly as well post-theatrical. That's why you can't judge a film as hit/flop based only on the theatrical BO anymore.

Side note, Hasbro must be absolutely thrilled with the home entertainment numbers so far. I would assume a large portion of those numbers are non D&D fans, who are checking out the movie because of one of the actors or because it's the top choice on whatever streaming platform they use. If Hasbro's $75M investment was about strengthening the brand, it appears to be paying off.
