what is this meant to illustrate exactly?
That Everything Everywhere All At Once, the most action oriented and commercial of their releases, made more money than virtually all their other releases COMBINED.
Yes, because that's what all the reviews were raving about - the action. Not plot, characters, acting, or any of that artsy stuff.
You don't get how Hollywood executives work. They see Barbie being a massive success because people thought it was a smart and funny movie with a good message and decide, "this means we need more movies about Mattel toys!"
They have absolutely no understanding of movies. It sort of feels like a lot of them don't even like movies.
They like hookers and blow. No time for movies.
I haven’t heard of ANY of those movies. I really need to get out more.
I dunno, surely you would have heard of Everything Everywhere All At Once due to the Oscar wins.
Around here at least both The Green Knight and Marcel the Shell With Shoes On were heavily advertised. So was First Cow now that I think about it.
Same with the Brendan Fraser comeback story The Whale.
