They're going to be more interested in trends, but I think studios did like what they saw in terms of streaming exclusivity as well. It's going to come down to what is most profitable and right now, a mixed model is going to work best for them. I don't see that changing until box office returns begin to get back to what they used to be. I presume Warner Brothers have been pleased with the traffic being driven to HBO Max and tentpole films are a major part of that.

well, GvK made 350 million dollars in theaters as of this past sunday. they made their money back with just the China box office. theater revenue is still there. it depends on how "safe" people feel about going. it seems like outside this country its fine, not every nation is pushing the plandemic, they rather have an economy.

HBO Max currently makes $600 million a month in sub revenue, or $7.2 billion a year. Thats at 40m subs, they have a goal of 150m subs in the next 4 years which would pull down $2 billion a month or $24 billion a year. Netflix and Disney make even more money from streaming, but HBO Max isn't even available in most countries yet. You are not dependent on hits either, as long as you release enough mediocre shit to keep people subbed you make money, and you keep 90% of the money vs less than 40% with theater box office.
Theater revenue is absolute chump change compared to these numbers and the goal always will be to drive sub revenue, its what Netflix and Disney are all about and Apple, Universal, Amazon, Warner Bros wants their part of the pie. Whatever they are saying in public is all a lie to not get theaters to shut them out, the eventual goal is to release everything on streamer services as exclusives and any theater revenue is just a nice bonus but not really part of any plan.

The average for domestic box office is 60% studio / 40% theater (over the entire film run) but in reality it depends on how hot the movie is expected to be and how many weeks it has been in theaters. Studio cut for opening week blockbusters can be as high 80% or 90% but the percentage declines in future weeks. That's why theaters push concessions so much the majority of their money is made from food and drinks rather than 10-60% of a ticket price.
This also a secondary reason why Thursday night showings became a thing, not only to pad out opening weekend numbers but maximize the amount the studios get in the highest % week.

Apple.
Hue hue hue.
I got a year free. There's nothing on there. A few dumb shows and that's it. I expected a slim start, but it is a complete failure.

the experimental soundtrack, and the trap music might be immersion breaking to some people as well.
it's a very modern sounding movie. They went with actual trap music over a lot of other genres and derivatives of rap music. Interesting choice.
Listen to that scene where Chris Rock is walking into see Sam Jackson, that sounds like it wasn't added for the trailer but that Sam Jackson's apartment had the music playing or a neighbor. That means the music is in the movie.
