    Well the Borderlands movie gave a bunch of Hollywood socialites a vacation in Budapest before the covid restrictions were completely released in California… So probably for reasons like that.

    Well they don’t always know ahead of time the movie will be bad, but once the movie is finished or nearly finished they can watch the movie and decide if it’s worth a lot of marketing or not

  Because our metric for good and bad is whether or not a large number of people payed to see it.

  Hollywood Accounting might see it as a loss, but sometimes they seem to want to kill a project for shits and giggles, like they did to Treasure Planet.

  You want to know how to make almost every movie a good movie? Target the correct audiences.
