Sure, some get token limited releases, but which ones would have been blockbusters if given proper wide releases?
I think Spirited would have cleaned up last holiday season in the period between Black Panther and Avatar.
Coming 2 America on Amazon also would have done well in theaters, I think.
And Netflix has a few, most notably stuff like Red Notice and The Irishman.

I think had Obi-Wan been kept as the two hour film it was once intended to be, it probably would have done alright.

I think Everything Everywhere All at Once could've been a legit blockbuster if it got a regular wide theater release. Like, it's got a worldwide gross of over $100 million (off a budget of less than $25 million even) and that was just on streaming and the limited theater releases it had.

Glass Onion has an extremely solid take for the one week it was in theaters. Given the legs the original Knives Out had, the sequel had a great chance at cleaning up too.
The Menu was also showing solid legs when WB threw it on The Max.

I think Enola Holmes could've been a sleeper hit if it made it to theaters.

Honestly, The Tomorrow War was too much fun to be an Amazon exclusive.

And Netflix has a few, most notably stuff like Red Notice and The Irishman. There was a decent crowd when I saw "Red Notice" in theaters. Sure, not a big one, but there were people who went to see it. Now that I think about it, I wonder how "The Suicide Squad" did in theaters compared to streaming. I personally saw it in theaters with me being the only one in there. The same thing happened with "The Many Saints of Newark," except it was just me and my dad in the theater. |

It didn't do well at all in theatres but was one of the most-streamed movies of the year. It's safe to say that the simultaneous release massively hurt its box office. |
