I had this discussion with a friend last night. Sony needs this movie to be huge, and if we weren't in a pandemic, it would be. They might be thinking of delaying it, but the movie has been already delayed over and over again. At this point, we don't know when the pandemic will be over. They want to make as much money as possible but they cannot tell themselves when it will be safest to release it at the cinema.
There is a slim to none chance that this movie will be offered VOD like Black Widow was, but let's say in a hypothetical scenario they did. Sony approached Disney and said because of the state of the world, they can offer NwH to be VOD on Disney+, on a few conditions.
One, the streaming revenue would be split the exact same as the box office revenue. Sony keeps the majority of it even though the subscribers are paying Disney for the streaming service itself. But the actual revenue and profits from the streaming results are split the same way as would be in the box office.
Two, subscribers have to pay a very high premium to watch it VOD. That gives them the option but also incentivizes them to see it outside.
This way, the movie is never delayed. I myself am willing to pay up to $50 for it. Maybe $60, but I think that's pushing it.
What do you think?
