Ooohhhh way to only pay attention to the most capitalistic part of film making. Especially considering this movie’s anti capitalist nature.

Only the corporate shitheads in change should be care about what any movie makes. It’s such a pathetic and irrelevant measurement of enjoyment that someone can get out of a story.

I enjoyed it but you might like different things.

A random internet person’s opinion won’t be insightful. If you want an opinion that will matter, find a reviewer who has similar tastes and opinions to you.

Or better yet watch it yourself and for your own opinion.

The measure does tell the movie couldn't pull much audience which in turn tells us it's not for everyone.

A) no it doesn’t. It more accurately reflects the marketing budget or the celebrity name attached to it and the amount of “fans” they draw in during their theatrical run.

B) fuck movies that are “for everyone”! That’s code for a one dimensional story, boring slop that won’t offend anyone and is mainly designed to be 90 minutes of ad placements.
