| thismeintiel said: You do realize that Jumanji had a poor opening, right? It didn't even hit $90M WW, hitting just $85.7M. Normally, that would have meant a flop for a movie with a $90M budget, as it needed $180M just to break even on the production budget alone (probably $280M-$350M with the ad budget included), and its all down hill from opening week. You know why it blew up instead of flopping? Because TLJ blew. If TLJ was actually good, it would have ate up and spit out Jumanji. Instead, disgruntled fans and disappointed movie goers needed something else to see. Jumanji was that film. Jumanji made more in Jan than TLJ, and not by a little. At the DBO, it outperformed it by $77.2M. Hell, Jumanji lasted longer in the theater than TLJ did. But, then again, so did the spinoff, RO. You can stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes, and shout at the top of your lungs, but that doesn't change the fact that there was a fan backlash. It happened. Accept it. |
I don't think anyone is denying that there was a fan backlash from vocal minorites on the internet.

Call of Duty: Infinity Warfare sold a lot, but for a Call of Duty game it undersold. It doesn't matter if it was the best selling game of the year , it still performed poorly for a COD game. |
This comes back to context.
