Without diving into the other stuff, that they're moving forward with this hybrid model for Black Widow would suggest to me that the cut from Premium Access for both this and Mulan are good enough that they're comfortable with putting Widow up.

Raya had, according the Nielsen, 355,000,000 minutes of view time.

Ray is 112 minutes long.

That's the movie watched 3,169,642 times.

At $30 a pop is: $95,000,000.

Now, some household may have seen it more than once, so, let's take 10% off...

$85,000,000 in the first weekend of home viewing.

Plus $84M in theaters so far: $169M.

That doesn't seem like a lot for a Disney animation blockbuster, but, we still have more weeks to go. And, the home viewing premium doesn't have to be shared with theaters. $85M in PPV is equivalent in profit to $170M in theaters.

If children are like my niece was with the Little Mermaid you will need to deduct a lit more than 10% . It was constantly playing. I would deduct over 50%.

About half of all D+ subscribers are adults with no children.

Also, musicals are more repeatable than non-musicals.
Yeah but kids watch the same move over and over again. My son will watch Cars 3 times in a row. He watched Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 3 times yesterday. Doesn't matter to some kids whether it is a musical or not, they will watch the same movie over and over again non stop all day long. That is what the poster was saying, and I agree. These numbers are also estimates, so...

Kids are really into Muay Thai martial arts!

Update: There has been more than double the number of watched minutes of Raya according to Neilsen from week ending 3/7 (355M minutes) to week ending 3/14 (390M minutes).

Assuming people watch it straight through, it has been viewed 6.7M times.

At $30 a pop, that's $201M income unshared with theaters.

Now, as has been discussed above, Disney films do tend to be rewatched... a lot. Moana and Frozen 2, e.g., keep showing up on the top ten movies streamed every week for the past four months. OTOH, Raya is not a musical, which is often the hallmark of a most-watched movie.

So, depending on one's guesstimate of rewatches, if you take off a percentage, then Raya's income on premium streaming in its first two weeks is...

- 0% = $201M
-10% = $181M
-20% = $161M
-30% = $141M
-40% = $121M
-50% = $101M

And even if there are a lot of rewatches... that is then a testament to its popularity.

A video production company that are experts in digital effects and have picked up stunt and martial art abilities from their experience discuss Raya with one of the martial artists / stunt actors who motion captured some of the fight scenes for Disney...

Remember that those who pay the $30.00 once will be able to keep watching it for as long as they want until it comes out on Disney+ and then can keep watching it as long as they subscribe.

"The Numbers" has Raya at $98M in theaters. Disney gets (as a rule of thumb, half, which is) $49M.

Raya's purported budget is $100M. Using the rule of thumb for movies, the actual cost with advertising was $150M.

So, with streaming income anywhere between $130M - $200M, it is clear that Raya was profitable.

Rewatched Raya today but this time in theaters! The theater was completely sold out! Mind you thats with social distancing and the such but still seems like there’s plenty of demand down where I am 🤷🏻‍♂️
