This has already been explained to you, multiple times. Different components of a corporation don't get the rights for free. They do have to pay each other.
For some reason, you seem really invested in a made-up scenario of how this works, no matter how many times people explain to you that you appear to be intentionally using an extremely dated model and cherry picking data to support it.
This is a weird, dumb hill to die on, my dude.
I'm aware there's other options for money.
If the hole is big enough those other revenue streams won't make up the difference.
. The box office us still the most important element because it determines how much you get later.
During covid times (best case scenario for streaming) the numbers they got were a fraction of the box office.
Not saying you make 0 money but you're looking at 10-20% type numbers.
