Although
$WBD - errr now
$PSKY won the Oscar night pool w/ 11 Oscars w/ One Battle After Another receiving 6 statues & Sinners w/ 4 statues
Oscar caliber movies are simply for prestige in certain circles & do not significantly push the needle in box office
One Battle After Another (excellent movie) was number 30 in domestic box office receipts last year at only
$71.5M & Sinners faring better at 7th place at
$279.3M - Minecraft, another WBD movie was number 1 at
$423.9M & Superman (terrible movie) was number 3 at
$354.2M
Hopefully, these Oscar movies will see get a 2nd chance on streaming....heck if a garbage movie like
$SONY Pictures Madam Web - a box-office flop, scored only 12% on Rotten tomatoes & deemed among the worst Marvel adaptations ever, was one of
$NFLX biggest hits in 2024 & Sony's biggest title on the streaming platform overall
Currently, Netflix pays a fee per film based on domestic box-office performance - a structure Sony & other studios are trying to renegotiate
