Money trumps rotten tomato scores.they almost certainly are.
That -70% or so number doesn't just mean that Critics thought the movie was bad, it also means that audiences did too.
The movie was frontloaded with goodwill from those that thought it would be the next TDK. There doesn't appear to be any word of mouth or repeat business to put asses in seats from here on out, and this means that lack of goodwill is going to do terrible things to the next films they have in the pipeline.
Heads are absolutely rolling at Warner over this. there's no way to spin this into a positive.
Almost no movie does well at home video? I take it you don't look at blu-ray numbers.Yes, they are. This is a disaster at the boxoffice. You have to be delusional or insane to try and spin otherwise. The drop this is having is happening worlwide. It is cratering. It was a one weekend film and then is quickly falling apart.
It has absolutely no chance at doing a billion, let alone 900 million. The film isnt a bomb but it is a disaster, full stop.
Oh and almost no movie does well at home video anymore. The home video market is a shell of its former self. Bluray sales are in the toilet across the board.
And you are absolutely delusional if you think WB was expecting to make a billion + after that first trailer. People hated the movie over a year before it even came out.
