SPARKS was a retail group, they released DVD rips and BluRay rips - so their releases didn't impact theatrical opening weekends.

As you can see (sorted by oldest because surprisingly many things have sparks in their name), it's mainly retail rips.
In fact, few scene releases before COVID would actually impact theatrical openings, since the movies only get released weeks/months later on phyiscal media/streaming. The only thing you get before are crappy camrips/telesyncs.
They do however usually manage to acquire the media a few weeks before the street date, which is why streaming releases are now a few weeks before the physical media releases.
