I mean do you want to cast someone then have em step on the movie release with a controversy that makes it seem like the movie didn't pay her. She has horrible timing and bad business sense. She is now a liabilityShe might get blackballed too

I hope they don't believe her comments had anything to do with the film flopping.
The movie flopped because nobody wanted that gender war agenda bullshyt.

She should have done an entirely different original movie. It's a risk but re-adaptations aren't doing well in this era word to Pet Cemetery.

50 million for a few weeks in the streaming era isn't bad, though. That's actually above average.Damn the movie costs 100 million to make and only did half that.
It's not about to collect dust. It'll still make money. I haven't seen it but the way people get hung up over stuff like that kills me. It didn't make its budget in the box office!
It's done for! Probably think budget and cost is the same thing too.

Tbh, this is a flick that shouldn't have cost more than 20 million tbh.
For one, period flicks should never have budgets like a blockbuster, deadass.
Two, a musical? About a bleak story ala the Color Purple?
Might as well do a musical of Mississippi Burning, totally tone deaf.
The last big musical was what? Lala Land? Which was Hollywood sucking itself off.
This was something anyone off the street could've told them to budget slash down to a minimum, yet a room full of creatives couldn't figure out?

Meanwhile Japan’s godzilla remake keeps getting theatre extensions,made $100 mil globally with a $15 mil budget. I don’t think a musical or this type of movie was the way to go

So the producers were hedging their bets on making a film based on hit book, hit film adaptation, and hit stage musical. Each was nominated for the top industry awards.
And the lead actresses have all been previously nominated for the top industry awards.
+ the Oprah cosign and association.
Film had a record opening. The thinking and projections of the producers weren't as far fetched as people think.
Unfortunately so far it hasn't reached projections. I don't know how long they have to make it back.
