Someone has to eat the less regardless in that scenario. That's not bringing in additional income as such. Disney apparently  does something similar wit Disney+. It's robbing Peter to pay paul  I did reference numbers paid by Netflix for various movies eg Knives Out, Borat franchise. That's tens of millions of real money coming in on top of the box office then you can apply the sone arguement used here aboutbits steaming income based on views. John Wick 4 will presumably go to Netflix like the 3 previous movies. That's a direct boost to income to the studio.  That's not applicable here and in any event it's been reported Paramount is losing money on steaming. Essentially  they woukd have to pay themselves to make D&D make money while losing money on whatever they paid.  VoD is direct income as well minus whatever the cut is the service take.  One can just look at the box office numbers as well. I've been very consistent in saying D&D might make a profit on the back end but it's far from a hit movie like John Wick which cost less and made its money back purely on the box office.  HAT performed fairly typically for a movie made about a third of its box office week one another third week two and 3 and the rest after that. John Whick made around 25% week one by comparison.  You can pretty much tell if a movie will make money at the box office week 1-3.</blockquote>
