Pixar's Soul would have been a blockbuster!

We decided to wait to stream WW until fewer people are watching, so maybe it won’t cut out during the show.

I think it started streaming today at noon (?). we watched between 3 and 6 PM and it streamed fine.

We watched it around 3pm today and there was only one instance where it kind of "stuttered" and only for about ten seconds. I'll save my opinion of the movie for another thread.

Movies used to be based on ticket sales in $$$$ but wonder how the new home streaming is going to figure what movie will be number 1 next week?

Yes it will be interesting indeed because the various streaming services regard their data regarding stream views to be proprietary and information they prefer to not to disclose... While they may announce membership revenue, it doesn't necessarily translate to people watching the any given show.

I'm reluctant to add YASS to my repertoire just to see movies that will eventually be released on disc. But then I'm among the few who have yet to invest any significant money in any particular content provider's online offerings. $20 on Apple's App Store. Maybe $30 from various Amazon services. Prime. Netflix. XBox Live Gold. Disney Plus. Hulu but only because they have the original Lost in Space and it was a $24 for a year special.

I had to pause it a few times - once it kicked me back to regular Xfinity programming upon my return. Launched the HBOmax xfinity app again and it dropped me back to where i paused.

No streaming issues other than that.
