Complete miss, but at least I was near the min. Now let’s see if it misses 138,122,261 — that will put the OW rank more similar to Dark a world than Rag.
It became a phenomenon once people could see it for free, but it wasn't successful at getting people to pay based on the marketing alone.
Possibly a very weird release model where it was on streaming for a few days to become a phenomenon and then yanked back into the vault for a while would have increased gross even more but D+ subscribers would be pissed 😆
Is anything going to "kill" theaters as in reduce yearly global gross to 0? No.
Is anything going to "kill" the 2000-2015 moviegoing paradigm? Almost certainly. Theaters are still around but the form and the social engagement is pretty different than 1960 and it'll be pretty different again in 2040.
Feels like you don’t know what you’re talking about tbh. The gap will probably widen, but even if not there is a big difference between say 86% and 93%. That is twice as many people disliking it, which also accompanies significant shifts in the amount whole reason medium on it, who liked it, who loved it, etc.
Mid-High 90s is where decade dominating franchises are forged. Mid 80s is where they die.
