In terms of distribution deals with streaming services/TV there is no way of knowing how much Ex Machina made from these revenue streams. This is not publicly available information.
Did ex machina make money?
Overall after considering theatrical and non theatrical revenue it is estimated that Ex Machina was a success and did make money. Although it didn’t have a phenomenal performance at the box office it more than made up for it with physical media/streaming sales.
Will there be a ex machina sequel?
Unfortunately director Alex Garland has not shown much interest in doing Ex Machina 2 so a sequel looks unlikely. He has expressed that it is a self contained story and he never considered doing a sequel when working on the film. Audiences will have to come up with their own theories on what transpires after the ending of the film.
