[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8989733, member: 27996"] Industry pundits cite the exact same data and sources that are being used on this thread. The movie got good reviews, and the people that went to see it seem to like it. And unlike SzM2, the industry likes D&D - so it will be slower to jump on its box office short comings. D&D's week 3 fall-off will tell the final tale. But right now it's not looking great. And movies have always had "alternate income" streams since at least the early 80's. Theatrical release. Then Rental and vhs/dvd sales. Then premium cable like HBO and Showtime. Then to Basic cable. Then to network tv. And depending on the film; merch sales. Before then: Theatrical release, Tv runs, maybe merch. So "alternate income streams" have been a thing for well over 40 years. Streaming/VOD is just a change of format. And they have never invalidated looking at the box office take, and seeing whether or not the movie was a hit or a flop. There is nothing wrong with waiting to see the week 3 fall off to see the likely result. But using the exact same metrics and sources that industry pundits use to see that the D&D movie is not doing so hot, is hardly a controversial position to take either. [/QUOTE]
