BOM has the three day at ~$84m. 2021 was ~$144m and 2019 was ~$197m. This is concerning Moviesnob Dec 25, 12:54

The problem is: THERE ARE NO MOVIES PEOPLE WANT TO SEE!! Put good movies out there! goodvibe61 Dec 25, 13:18

Just one example: Look at Christmas, 2018. Look at this list, and then think about this week. goodvibe61 Dec 25, 13:42

Name one studio that wants theatrical to fail {nm} Moviesnob Dec 25, 14:52

Wanting stream to succeed and theatrical to fail is not the same thing, really. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 25, 14:58

And how many of the currently existing streamers were active in Dec. 2018? TheWeekendWarrior Dec 25, 15:22
