Napoleon and Flower Moon were also paid for up front by Apple to eventually get exclusive streaming rights on Apple TV. They could have gone through their entire theater run without making a single penny and they still would have broke even because it was Apples problem (and that kind of loss they make up for in a few hours selling Iphones).

It is very different from Disney who insist that they will not allow anyone else to have their movies and so have to rely on Disney+, which is still in the hole and losing money hand over fist each quarter.
