I hope this does well because…

It’s a lower budget, and Hollywood needs to learn to do more with less.

120 million means this can break even and then hopefully make money.

Unlike Tom Cruise’s box office flop Mi7, or the disastrous Indiana Jones.

Two movies that basically was “banking” on it getting close to a billion.

You'd think with modern technology budgets would be smaller . less money needed . weird.
Mainly due to CGI , but also better editing hardware , digital cams etc

It's really too bad since the movie was perfectly fine. I liked it better than Black Adam or Shazam 2 and even ANTMAN 3.

What's bad? It's already flopped?

[–] HarlemEagle42 (16430) 9 months ago

The opening weekend wasn't very encouraging. Unless word of mouth turns it around.

Plus it has Miguel from Cobra Kai.

I hope it does well. It looks entertaining from the trailers.

MI7 was not a flop

When you only get half your projections and don't cover your budget plus marketing, it is.
