    • Zack Snyder on Joe Rogan Experience: “So say right now [‘Rebel Moon’] has almost 90 million views … 90 million starts or 90 million accounts turned it on, give or take. They assume two viewers per screening,”
    •  “So you think if that movie was in the theaters as a distribution model, that’s 160 million people supposedly watching, based on that math.”
    • “More people probably saw ‘Rebel Moon’ than saw ‘Barbie’ in the theater. That’s how crazy Netflix — that’s the distribution model they set up,” Snyder concluded.
