I feel like a broken record, but whether something is a success or not is NOT based on how it did based on projections or tracking, but how

it actually did. This was the largest opening since BARBIE in JULY. Theaters are struggling man, getting a film this big is a blessing. 

As you point out, a lot of the studios and streamers were rooting for this to fail for obvious reasons - they wanted it, they didnt get it - and in Universal's mind, they are really good at putting out ****ty legacy sequels to huge horror IPs so the reason their latest came in under HALLOWEEN is because of this film and not because the last legact sequel got ****ty exit polls. I think theres actually some truth to that but it was still there's to get if they DIDNT MAKE THE FILMMAKERS PUT THE FILM ON STREAMING BEFORE THE TOUR WAS OVER
