Raya and the Last Dragon

Raya not only surpassed Tom and Jerry in China, but now, world wide at $88M. And we don't know how much yet it made as a PPV on D+.

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...
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.

Those numbers are a victory in the pandemic era, in my opinion. Here's to hoping we'll see more Raya in the parks once things get back to normal.
Raya made a very brief cameo in the new Shanghai DL nighttime castle projection/fireworks show.

I just wish they had a Raya and the Last Dragon face mask! Soul had three upon release, and somehow we're down to 0 for Raya. Lost revenue IMO, I would've been all over the Raya masks!
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...
Another 203M minutes of Raya watched. That's another 1.8M views of the movie.
Assuming people watch it straight through, it has been viewed, in total, 8.5M times on D+ Premium.
At $30 a pop, that's $254M income unshared with theaters.

In theaters: $93M worldwide.
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.
