Please explain to me how a movie making the company lose money isn't a flop or bomb....

Guess Angry Joe haven't watch it. (A single example. Great. That sure disproves my point)

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.

Owwww... so having bigger flops make this not being a flop... great.

So since a lot of game sell more than 10k or 50k some flops do the other games weren't flop... I'll put you to manage my company and when we are losing a lot of money you can say everything is good because there are companies that do even worse.

Was this how you justified bad grades on school to your parents... there is this colleague that done worse.

I gave one example because you said no one that watched it said it was bad, and on angry joe there are 3 saying it, it already defeats your point.
