> Movies like infinity war make several orders of magnitude more money at the box office than home release.

Your example is the world record at the box office... they don't all gain as much.

Plenty of movies and TV shows depends on the cash they make from streaming service. Hell it's not even yours to decide whether they made enough profit. Why not make your own movie if that so profitable? You know damn well it's not that profitable and most struggle.

Not only that, experts predict that Infinity War will be less profitable on an ROI basis than movies that generated less revenue because of actors salaries.
