Showing Sci-fi + Shooter priced $10 to $20, without the breakout. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it beats Sci-fi and trails Shooter.
The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.
Sci-fi + Shooter beats Sci-fi and trails Shooter: 16.7 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 15.2 in 100 for Sci-fi and 19.5 in 100 for Shooter.
That is about 0.9 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price. Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures.
