Here's the problem in your logic. Genisys did much better than Dark Fate just 3 years ago. It actually matched T3. And performed better than Salvation. So, if they were all bad, why did Genisys go back up? If Dark Fate is actually as good as you claim it is, why didn't it continue the climb? Or at least match it?
The fact is, this film was more poorly received than Genisys, regardless of what critics would have you believe. China liked Genisys. So much, in fact, that it barely dropped in its 2nd weekend there. It went on to make $105M+ there. DF could only muster half of that. And DF actually opened $2M+ higher in China. They just didn't like what they saw.
Considering Genisys actually made them a little bit of money, they would have had a better shot at success carrying on with that story line. Instead they scrapped it for this woke garbage fire, and it flopped hard. Costing them $125M-$150M.

Its like you...deliberately only read half of posts lol.
Ad Astra and Ford V Ferrari are both better than Frozen 2...which do you think is going to make more money? What a straw man argument.

So, instead of comparing apples to apples, you compare them to oranges. I'm talking about two films in the same franchise that came out within 3 years of each other, so no change in demographics. If DF was so great, it should have easily matched Genisys. It had less competition when it released, as well.
You're comparing a sequel to a very popular kid's film to new films. Ones that aren't exactly looking to start a franchise. I'm definitely not the one throwing out the straw man.
