Streaming ~2016? Streaming was huge by 2010. Granted, not as big, but Netflix was primarily a streaming service by 2010, and was gaining steam. Hulu made $100 million in the first two quarters of 2010, and Prime Video was fairly well established by 2010.

Thanks for your comment on this. You're absolutely right about Netflix. I was aiming more at an overall average for streaming services since Disney+ is quite recent and NBC's streaming isn't coming until this year. Hope that clarifies!

Let us remember that Blockbuster had a chance to buy Netflix for 50 mil and they laughed at the idea of people ordering DVDs by mail.
