* BoxOfficeBomb: ''Air'' grossed just shy of $90 million at the box office to a budget of $70-90 million. This is a rather unique scenario in the eyes of its producers and distributors, as ''Air'' was never meant to be a theatrical release in the first place -- it was originally budgeted out and produced as a streaming-only film, with Creator/AmazonStudios changing their mind following positive test screenings. As a result, while the raw box office numbers would normally indicate a massive loss, Amazon doesn't treat it as one on account of the grosses covering the costs of marketing and theatrical distribution, and they're expecting to make up the rest through Creator/PrimeVideo as intended, sort of like a premeditated, hyper-compressed form of VindicatedByCable.
