I saw you respond to some of them, but maybe you didn't realize that's what they were saying?We have no idea. If you think you know how much it makes on VOD, I'd love to hear about that. I know it was noted as meaningful it hit #1 on differing platforms, which apparently was somewhat unusual. I also know it was selling for $19 and the studio was making $14 for each of those sales, which is large percentage.I lumped DVD in with "everything else" so not sure why you're mentioning that like it was what I was talking about? We don't know that. They didn't release numbers for VOD. We have "Studios disappointed" but then we're back to my point that studio reaction is the only thing we're really left with, which is inadequate but the best we have. I guess you now agree with that point?As for VOD,  since you used the snide "you are aware" I will continue with your tone back at you. You are aware Streaming isn't the same category as VOD and that Streaming makes a ton of money?Ah, so the answer to my snide question is "No, you are not aware that VOD is not streaming." While VOD is streamed, it's not the category people mean when they say Streaming. Streaming is the money the service makes once it streams through a monthly service. And it is difficult to determine the share attributable to any one property, but they are doing it and the writers and soon the directors are (in part) striking over that very determination. There is no data on how much money Wonder Woman made for Streaming, just for VOD. Streaming platforms do not release that data.That's not the case. They thought they could make MORE money if they had theatrical, but it wasn't because it doesn't make "enough" money to profit on it.That's a distraction. Whether Paramount overall is successful as a streaming platform, that's not really what we're discussing in terms of a particular properties share of revenue. If the D&D movie makes enough share revenue from streaming, it's not a ding on it if the platform itself isn't making enough money. At least, not to the studio, which again is all we're talking about.</blockquote>
