I know it’s unfair and there’s all kinds of good reasons for it but it really bums me out to see people watch a movie on streaming and say “why didn’t this do better in theaters?”
I’ve seen some Letterboxd reviews of Furiosa along the lines of “watched now that it’s on Netflix, I hope they make more of these” or “I don’t understand why this didn’t make more money in theaters, it’s great” and it just frustrates me.
Obviously a ton of people cannot go to theatres for all kinds of valid reasons (and I recognize how lucky I am to get to go once a week) but I just wish more people still prioritized getting out to theatres for a film they are interested in or that they at least understood how important box office is to a film’s overall success.
End of unhinged rant, happy Friday Blankies!
