Brilliant film makes money, bad one doesn't! 😁

@UKFilmNerd It's crazy how badly the projections have been missing opening weekend hauls over the past two months. It seems that since Bad Boys, they've undershot every blockbuster by a significant amount.

Well, money makes the world go round and movies are a combination of really expensive gambling and money laundering.

So you want to know the odds before you gamble your money too.
