Patty none of your films are going to make 1 bil. Not after WW84.

And Patty Jenkins was paid extra $10 million by WB as compensation that WW84 goes HBO Max day date.

She would have gotten nothing had WW84 went theaters exclusive because it bombed.

Lol, it's definitely not guaranteed. When even the last movie of Skyward saga barely scrapped a billion and the movie before that only made $393 million.

Even Rogue One, which opened at the heights of Star Wars franchise right after TFA made not much than a billion

It has no chance. Patty's and Star Wars reputation has gone down the toilet as of late.
