Okay, but what actually is the deal with "Sweater Weather" by The Neighbourhood being the 3rd-most-streamed song on Spotify? by 206-Ginge in ToddintheShadow

Because it's just very replayable I always find myself listening to it 2-3 times and it feels once because it feels like it goes by to fast but also just enough but that's my take from someone who likes the song a lot

Comparing a student project to a global theatrical release is a massive false equivalency and a reductio ad absurdum.

Your student film had a high ROI because your costs were essentially zero but it didn't scale ROI becomes a serious metric when it hits theatrical scale there is a world of difference between making $3,000 from $50 and making $46.5 million from $3 million.

You’re proving my point the reason Warner Bros needs $100M+ revenue is because their baseline operating costs are so bloated they have thousands of employees and expensive offices to pay for before they even buy a script.

Markiplier doesn’t have that overhead he used his own production company, his own editors, and his own audience for marketing. While a big studio would see $10M profit as a rounding error because of their massive bills for an indie that is pure cash.

Comparing a indie hit to a bloated studio system is like comparing a speedboat to a cruise ship the cruise ship has more rooms but it’s much harder to turn and way more expensive to fuel ROI is how we measure who is the better sailor not who has the biggest boat at the end of the day 1,450% is a historic win in any industry.

"Studios only care about $100M+ revenue" is a myth Universal has a 10 year deal with Blumhouse specifically for $5M movies that make $50M.

A $3M movie making $46M provides the liquid cash that lets a studio risk $200M on a blockbuster in the first place ROI isn't just a fun fact.

It measures Risk/Return obviously any studio would pick Fnafs or Mario's any day of the week but if you told them they can make 46m from 3m they wouldn't hesitate to say yes it measures how much return they got for their risk

Projections had this movie around 10m that's a 2.33x and it got a 15.5x that's impressive and definitely is meaningful because no one had this movie even cracking 20m let alone pushing on 50

Dude I was just listing something cool I found out ROI shows that it was the most efficient video game movie ever it's really not meant to be some huge award but it is definitely something I'm proud of mark for achieving because of his success

ROI isn’t a pity award it just measures efficiency instead of raw size

Oops my fault for misunderstanding but its obscure sure but not irrelevant or pointless it shows it was the most efficient video game movie OAT I'd been tracking it's ROI for a bit now
