SCENE: INTERIOR, HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION OFFICE, RUN-DOWN. MONDAY MORNING.

Executive Assistant: Hey, Brett?

Director: Morning, Jennifer. What have you got for me?

EA: Well, we have the opening weekend numbers.

D: And?

EA: They're ... mixed. There's some bright spots overseas. Australia did fifty.

D: Fifty million?

EA: Uh, no. Fifty. Fifty tickets.

D: All weekend? The whole country?

EA: Ya. I know.

D: You said there were some bright spots, though?

EA: That was a bright spot. It was worse elsewhere.

D: How can it be worse than 50 tickets for a whole country?

EA: Well, some open-source intelligence type people on the 'net proved that almost every single ticket sold in the UK was to a movie reviewer, because we wouldn't give them advanced access to it.

D: "Almost"? So at least a few regular folks bought tickets?

EA: ... maybe. Those were tickets where no-one showed at the theatre, so they couldn't determine if it was film critics or not.

D: Damn. How were the reviews?

EA: Uh, let's just say "not good" and leave it at that for a bit.

D: ... Okay. Well, how about here at home? Surely we sold some tickets here, at least in MAGA states? What's the news here in the good ol' USA?

EA: The Director's Guild took out a hit on you.

"Jeff, honey - I'm going through the credit card statement. What's this charge for 143,000 movie tickets for?"

When "Tank Girl" tanked 30 years ago, it appeared Lori Petty's hard work went for naught, and she told us it was very, very hard work. (But since then, the movie's become a cult classic.)

Hollywood keeps resurrecting problematic princesses. Snow White's box office bomb proves it's time to invest in new stories and smarter decisions. #SnowWhite #DisneyRemake #BoxOfficeBomb #FilmIndustry #IndieFilm #HollywoodProblems #FairyTaleFails #RepresentationMatters #SupportIndieFilm

So that #disney movie, #Wish, is bombing. Same blaming as with The Little mermaid. "You are an antiwoke, racist boycotter".

Are they sure it's not a problem with that same movie coming to #DisneyPlus in 3 months? Or that even liberal newspapers (You can't play the woke card here)have described it as a hot mess that feels as if it had been written by an AI?

Even worse, from what I can read, the animation may not be great. That gives me a dejavu of the Disney Xerox era. #BoxOfficeBomb
