gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-03 18:45:13

However, while every single other film distributor would’ve celebrated this fact, the streamer didn’t report the numbers. Instead, it put the version of the film in theaters immediately onto its streamer. The message was clear. This wasn’t meant to be a huge money grab or play for theatrical dominance. It was more of a thank you to the fans who st

In a recent story from Puck’s Matt Belloni, he lays out some of the film’s financials, namely that it cost Sony over $100 million to produce, and only about $20 million is going to the studio, even with the film’s brie
