Eli5: how do movies that go straight to streaming generate money?

256 views

So I just watched the new Prey movie. It was great really enjoyed it. It came to streaming directly (Hulu for US), no theaters , no ticket prices, heck you didn’t even have to pay any money to rent it or buy it.

My question is, how does it make any movie if I didn’t have to pay any money to watch it.

Netflix started as a DVD in the mail company. Then it began streaming.

In the 2010s, it realized the studios would take back their IP and began producing original content of its own.

But some big budget movies convince people to pay $X for a monthly service fee of exclusive content. Most of which is junk.
