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.
