We will not get hard data on streaming - the WGA strike and likely upcoming DGA is in part over that very issue. All we can know is indications from the studio itself. If they behave like this is a flop then the streaming numbers are lower than expected. If they behave like it was a hit then the streaming numbers are within or exceeding expectations. Every indication we've had so far is the movie exceeded expectations.That is imperfect data. But welcome to the post-pandemic of movie analysis. There is no longer good data because streaming information is kept secret, even from shareholders. All we know, with absolute certainty, is the studios do consider streaming to be a very meaningful portion of profits for a movie now, where pre-pandemic they didn't and lumped it in with rentals and dvd/bluray sales. And really all that ever meant anything about the "hit or flop" designation was what the studio thought. What WE thought never changed anything. If the studio is happy with the result, that's all "hit" really ever meant.</blockquote>
