Well, no surprise here after the lackluster response to the D&D movie.
Really? I thought it did respectfully well, at least better than previous >>> attempts and enough to discuss another movie.
Lackluster in terms of box office returns. It made back its budget but
didn't do gangbusters, and as of last year, Paramount was saying that
-while there remains the /possibility/ of a sequel- it would only
happen if it has a smaller budget because the box office reception was
poor.
Lost money because typically about the same amount of money is spent on marketing as a movie's budget.
yeah, but also thanks to Hollywood accounting a lot of it is more based on feeling than actual hard numbers.
for what it's worth it seems DnD was rather successful on streaming, but
well, considering what sort of a mess streaming services are creating
the last few months that's not helpful either.
