3 Yeah but they'll be showing it on the FX cable channel for years to come and it will eventually turn a profit. The bummer is that Hollywood doesn't make blockbusters anymore, just a bunch of recycled crap like Supergirl.

5 warner bro does get a piece of the subscription pie from the cable channels (about $2/month per subscription)

but the number of subscribers is decreasing and the piece of the pie is based on all warner movies the cable channel runs so the amount attributable to any one movie isn't very much
