No; I’d say Knock at the Cabin is the closest guess so far, genre-wise.
Please let it be Cocaine Bear...
It's M3GAN, right?
This is correct.

Guardians 3 will eek out a small profit, but Disney probably needed it to make a lot more.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Im guessing its going to be a hit, but not a massive one. Doesnt feel here like something they are really pushing, but the movie is super well known and kids and teens will sure go watch it.

The reviews seem to follow a similar line to Ant-Man. Effusive praise for one of the actors and then the "its not so great" part.

I would call Indiana Jones a success if it's in the top 5 at the end of the year. Will that constitute a financial success for the movie company? Probably not.

Which movie has the biggest ratio between lowest critical rating and highest box office success? The live-action Lion King?
