The first Avatar made over $400 million in home video sales not to mention hundreds of millions in rental revenue from Blockbusters probably. I don't see how Avatar 2 is going to be anywhere near as profitable post theatrical window as the first.

I don't know if that's a totally fair way to look at it. The streaming services do need new contact to retain existing customers. If a program is getting a lot of individual streams, it's a good indicator that the program is contributing to keeping existing customers.
