= bomb/flop Look up any lists with movies that flopped. It's not movies that simply didn't break even, but movies that did so badly that there were no plans for a sequel and cost the studio a ton of money. This is not case here.
But if it makes you feel better calling it a flop/bomb, by all means, do so. Not gonna stop you. |
Bwahaha! So you criticize him for looking at one source, yet you look at one market? Also, I thought this was about Sony movies?
Musketeers made $132M WW. So, the studio saw about $73M of that. If it had a small marketing budget, it most likely made them profit on home video.
John Carter made $284M WW, which means the studio saw only $156M. So, yes, it is a flop. But guess what, so is Ghostbusters. It'll never break even, even with home video.
I suggest you stop your blind defense of this movie and look at the facts. You may have liked it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a financial disaster. In fact, I would bet after all this is blown over, you'll watch it again and see it's not that great. Like Star Wars fans did with the prequels.
