I guess I’d prefer that they are lying, lol.
I’d still like third party verification of the numbers.
Kids today spend very little time outdoors, other than organized sports like soccer, baseball, etc.
I think the movie theater is a babysitter.
They’re not lying per-se - but they can game the numbers. Disney could’ve pre-bought theaters for “charity” or as part of contractual obligations to the theaters.
Ant-man and Wonder Woman both did about 90 million opening weekend so that’s the benchmark. Even Disney was predicting that.
But how much was it worth to Disney’s social justice message to make a hit. What would it have said if this GRRL POWER movie had flopped?
