[Film] Question re Netflix

Lenny Rider said:

Nothing earthshattering just curious, does anyone know how they will factor in Netflix into a movie's returns?

My example, The Irishman, according to Wikipedia it had a budget of $200 but a box office return of $8, which on the face of it would make the film one of the biggest box office bombs in Movie history, but clearly it isn't, but how will they calculate income from the streaming site?

I don't see it as a failure if it only lost $192 or £158 which is only a good day out, when compared to Heaven's gate which lost $144m (adjusted to 2019).
I would instead congratulate the special effects team for getting such great effects for a minimal cost.
