It seems like it wasn't marketed very much: I didn't realize it was in production, about to be released, or... released. I just happened to see it online ready to watch one day and watched 2/3rds of it before giving up.
- TylerE 5y agoThat's actually a pretty low marketing budget. General practice amongst the box office geeks is to assume marketing is EQUAL to the production budget for a big blockbuster.
- chrisseaton 5y agoYeah it seems they knew it was awful and just kind of dumped it out.
- k12sosse 5y agoSony said "come Wachowski's, we are going to make a new Matrix, with or without you." And then the dump truck showed up and she did what she could to, in her mind, make a product she was happy with that she knew she had to make for herself. There's a lot of meta- to the film about the process, state of Hollywood, big cinema, giving in to retelling the same story for nostalgia bros, from what I understand. (I am not a critic or terribly deep, just observing) I mean this clip speaks volumes. That unmistakable look of "Why'd you have to ask me that" as she is presumably self censoring thinking about what she /should/ be saying. https://youtu.be/6mkNIs2XWZU?t=10 https://youtu.be/6mkNIs2XWZU?t=10
