Message: <blockquote data-quote="bedir than" data-source="post: 9063686" data-attributes="member: 6789971">There's an odd behavior in Honor Among Thieves tracking for Amazon. It has several days when supposedly zero copies were sold and a steep decline and rise on either side of that. There's no other movie with that pattern, which likely indicates a data issue not a sales issue.I also tend to compare them over the same time period of availability, because I don't think D&D deserves extra credit for being released earlier.Wick 4 on Amazon[ATTACH=full]289645[/ATTACH]Honor Among Thieves over the same time period[ATTACH=full]289646[/ATTACH]Wick has the edge on Amazon, but as you point out on Google it isn't a close contest.As to which one generates more monies for the studio? I don't know (unless the studio is in the corporate umbrella of the service).My only claims about digital and streaming are the D&D: Honor Among Thieves has the same, if not more, interest there than the massively more popular in theaters movies. This is an indication, but not certainty, that the Aug 3 Paramount Global and July 23 (probably) Hasbro report will show positively for Honor Among Thieves, because the digital experience has been massively popular, the streaming where available has been strong and the search results for D&D earned an extraordinary boost.Since Paramount is not in a 100 million dollar hole as some claim (it's about 50 million based on where their distribution) and Hasbro did have a clear statement that the movie was part of building a franchise and advertising their game with a hole of less than 30 million both sides are likely to continue their joint project.Other evidence to support this conclusion is that Paramount didn't cancel their first look agreement with Daley & Goldstein, they didn't cancel their agreement with eOne regarding the TV show (despite many other streamers cancelling shows) and that Hasbro has continued to pursue their sale of eOne because they know they can make more money through their owned IP than they do through producing huge hits like Yellowjackets and Grey's Anatomy.If Hasbro felt that D&D as a franchise couldn't make them more money than those shows they would cancel the film/series universe. If Paramount felt that the movie was the type of failure some claim here, with a hole of 150 million as claimed without evidence here, they would cancel the TV projects that they signed because of the movie.</blockquote>
