Is that terrible? I mean, Devil's advocate, but this is uncharted territory - what is a "good" number for this sort of process? We know that for Black Widow, the subscription number was large enough that they decided to release the information. I don't think it would be reasonable to expect any movie to get a more than a few percentage points of D+ subscribers to purchase.
And we know that whatever number Disney got for Black Widow (and other movies) via Premier Access that's more than (say) AT&T got from all the WB movies that went on HBO Max for free.
I'm firmly of the belief that the Premium Access model was a bad idea for Black Widow (though perhaps reasonable for other titles) because it cut out the legs from the theatrical run. I do think it would have had better holds and more repeat in theater viewers without the availability of premier access. It also lessened the ability to "double dip" - have people pay for the theater viewing and then later pay for an at home copy/download/stream later. I also question as to the impact of piracy which was much easier (and surely better quality) with a streaming release.
Honestly, the biggest issue for Black Widow is probably China - I don't think it has or will be getting a release there, right? That's a big loss for a MCU movie and probably the biggest difference for it and something like F9 or Godzilla vs Kong that have done much better worldwide.

So 1.93% attach rate I would be looking at a much higher attach rate considering Marvel is one of the key landing zones for Disney+. Then you have the many issues surrounding PA not being priced per profile, no watermarked IP address so they can track down pirates and far too long access to the content and not more time limited like 36/48 hours.
They should of just paid the backend like WB did for their talent.
And then you have the issue with China and releases, which is a more of a wider Hollywood thing.

The lack of China release is a mystery. Disney ain't saying why. Industry watchers don't know why.

It most likely because this is the 100th anniversary of CCP so they have prioritized content to promote that. Deadline had a little note on an article from 25th July:

I would guess it was a test, to see how well local hits along side their anniversary performed but as the Deadline article note states the box office under performed. Maybe they want to try and get to a point where they don't want Hollywood content.

It's complicated! China's big on government control. Tow the party line.
"Films must be submitted to the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) for censorship prior to being cleared for import into China. This entails a three-step process: The filmmakers submit their screenplay or finished film to the Censorship Board for review."

No they didn't Depp Pirate films have all made profit. He did nothing wrong. Amber Turd was the abuser.

I wasn’t commenting on the domestics…
I was saying depp had erratic behavior, too high compensation and too much control over the film process

There would not have been a Pirate franchise that made Disney BILLIONS if not for Depp. No one went to those films for Bloom or Knightley.
That is true.

But that’s not what I’m talking about
I didn’t say they shouldn’t have made pirates…I’m saying they lost control of him and suffered in the later films
