We can blame JFAD on the studio now 

[sailor angel]

Was this any good? It doesn't look that interesting but Bong Joon Ho has never missed for me so idk if I'll like it or not

[Katamari]

A crazy budget 

 

but it looks cute tbh. The book It's based on wasn't all that known so I don't get the budget

where does all the money keep coming from for all of these films with overinflated budgets?

The film industry needs its own doge (but competent) because where is this money going towards

[beautiful player]

So that means it'll break even in only about 10 days?

[50thStateofMind]

they spent 80 mill on the marketing and I barely heard a whisper of it  never saw a clip, trailer, storyline either...

The movie was actually good I watched it myself last night my friends and I all enjoy it. Plus gays should go see it because you actually get too see Robert Pattison  bare butt in the film.

I have never heard of this film ever. Did they do any marketing?  
 

I never learn which films are even out until 1-2 week later.  And by then theaters drop them.

Yeah I agree with you. No idea where that $80 mil went this movie barely had any promo and a lot of people weren't aware of this movie at all. Outside of Robert and mark ruffalo this movie doesn't have super well known actors to be so expensive. But I reccomend people to watch it. It's a good movie and Robert always delivers. 

[Poxy]

The fact that this was delayed so much…   WB had no faith in it for a long time. Rob looks good in the film too, it's a shame

[Daddy]

I'm gonna see it next week. We have to support Bong Joon-Ho!

[fridayteenage]

Like most actors these days, I don't think Robert's name can carry a big hit

[Gorjesspazze9]

Nobody goes to the movies anymore unless it's a blockbuster franchise. Not surprising. Most people Wait for streaming or digital

[Bloodflowers.]

I have never even heard about this film before or what the storyline is about

Disney finally flopping

Expand  

This is WB. Has nothing to do with Disney 

[futurenostalgic]

People on twittter been saying "where was the marketing" when uhhh they've been spamming it hard in social media... but honestly if i were WB team, i would not know HOW to even market this... it's.....unique but in kind of a mid, sloppy way

[thatsmydemi]

Watched it last night. It was a bit random but entertaining. 

[Rabbit]

Original IP's and stories bombing at the box office isn't something to celebrate

It was a joke. 

[prézli]

He won the Oscar in 2020 and the movie was out 5 years later. All the hype are dead now.

[IBeMe]

You can't convince me this isn't some kind of money laundering thing. Lots of films are because what are these budgets? Like WTF 

[Mostar]

Watched the movie two nights ago, and was disappointed.
First act was fine, then it got boring. It was so predictable. I couldn't believe this was the same director that gave Parasite and The Host.
It clearly lacked a solid point of view. It felt saccharine and dissonant at the same time.
