Their spend was 137, which if we go by the metrics of 2019 as some here wish to ignore streaming, would mean hits profit number at 234, which is a shortfall of just over 50 million.But, we also know that Honor Among Thieves is selling digital downloads better than Super Mario (which earned 75 million in its first 40 days that way). We still don't know the revenue split between the two production companies, plus Alphabet, Amazon and Apple want their take.We also know that D&D spent more than four weeks in the top five most viewed streaming options in the United States (it's only available there). It beat and in some cases crushed, movies that had bigger box offices. Paramount+ ranges from ad supported at 5.99 to nearly 20 per month in various bundles.But can Paramount's digital and streaming take reach 50 million? Because more popular box office movies took in more than 50 while being less popular online.The split and the sharing of costs, with unequal revenue capture due to unequal desires from the movie are what are likely to mean Paramount isn't angry at Hasbro for forcing them into losing money. August 3rd is when we'll find out.This headline may be relevant[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.marketwatch.com/data-news/paramount-global-cl-b-stock-outperforms-competitors-on-strong-trading-day-3671e724-c4c7da93f7d7[/URL]</blockquote>
