$6.5 million in weekend ticket sales is a bummer.
Spielberg spent $115 million to make it.
Universal spent $80 million on marketing.
Spielberg’s big mouth didn’t help.
His comments about the pic making Christians “lose their faith” was idiotic.

He was purposely provocative in order to get people worked up to see it. Why? I think he realized what a piece of crap this film is. What did will save it but dig it a bigger hole!

What my wife and I will do is go see it. If we like it, it’s a good movie. If we don’t like it, well, ok, we wasted our money. I don’t trust critics.
And there’s John Williams’ score… I can’t wait to hear it.

The trailer was pretty bad.
The good news is that “the emperor has no clothes” moments still exist in 2026. Start sweating, Nolan.
