It seems like streaming is the only venue for high-concept genre movies these days — rom-coms, sci-fi and horror films that blend different styles and don't rely on existing IP are typically released at home. The ones that received theatrical releases this year have underperformed. For instance, Mercy grossed just $55 million worldwide against a reported $60 million budget, despite featuring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson.

Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die grossed less than half of its reported $20 million budget. Both movies, however, have done very well for themselves on streaming and PVOD.
