Ant-Man hit, Terminator: Genisys failed, yet both made around the same amount of money.
So what actually is a hit movie?
Furthermore,Terminator: GenisysandFantastic Fourare the lucky recipients of the term box office bomb this season.
But its not quite as clear as that.
Furthermore, theres a rush to denote films as a hit or miss.
Thats not so clickbait-y a story, though.
But it all points to the fact that we never see the full spreadsheet.
So the numbers are set to grow.
But in truth, which of these is actually a flop?
The truth is we dont actually know.
But in simple cash terms, its two dimensional outlook isnt that far removed from theTerminatorsequel.
That too is likely to be the challenge faced by Fox when deciding where next to take theFantastic Fourmovies.
And yet will either, ultimately, prove to be a box office bomb?
Will they lose money?
But then thats the problem with box office being the pure indicator of a films success.
All six of those films I listed above are likely to eventually break even.
But how many will we retain interest in buying a 20th anniversary disc edition of in 2035?
None of that really matters when youre sitting home alone watching a movie in your underwear.
And dont necessarily believe any box office report that instantly declares something a profitable film or a loss-making one.
Theres a sporting chance that even posh Hollywood accountants arent entirely sure of the difference, after all…
