Netflix was an example of streaming , i didn't mean to say Netflix specifically, my arguments before were for an example of external streaming ( I assumed that even if owned by the same parent they don't share numbers between studio and platform , which may not be true.)
Even if the numbers are available, This way of accounting is too simple to apportion revenue and is flawed.
The power of platforms (or studios / back catalogues) is that sum of the whole is greater than individual property. That is why consolidation happens all time in the industry. Most people are not paying for a subscription because they watch specific content[1].
For example If I watch only one movie this month and 10 next month , isn't it more accurate to split my 2 month fees by 11 rather than giving all my first month fees to first movie ?. Me not watching anything else should not increase the value of the content I did watch based on an arbitrary time period (billing cycle of a month)
[1] ignoring the cases additional cost for a new movie that is direct revenue.
