I don't want to spend $20 on Bloodshot but if I'm desperate enough maybe...

Don't its not worth $20 unless you are watching with the whole family or a group of friends/neighbors.

It will be very depressing if the theatrical window is killed as a result, but I imagine there will be a lot of people eager to get out of the house at first opportunity.

The movie theater business will rebound. People like going to the movies and it’s a great activity for dates, end of shopping trips, weekend boredom.

I don't think we will get those numbers right now but eventually we might. Maybe Trolls might be a bigger deal.

Hmm so they're saying biggest of all time overall?

They probably wont release any #s unless it's really huge. Interested to see what else ends up going this route.

Even real numbers might be useless since we have nothing to compare them too. If SCOOB or Spongebob decide to open like this then we will know it was a huge success.

Well deadline is saying it was the biggest day ever, 10x bigger than Jurassic World and the Weekend number was much bigger than the 30 million Endgame made in a week.

I wonder if these #s are domestic...

If it's just domestic $20m+ on first day is pretty great. That said these rentals won't be like regular box office so who knows if it'll do $100m+ just based off these rentals. If it does (and apparently studios get $80% of digital $) this could be a game changer.

I think Universal said they need 12 million rentals to break even on it. They say that it'll be hard to judge as family films will need a lot more rentals to compensate for larger groups that rent them vs. adult themed films.

That's a good number then. Sets the base for future releases (if any).
