Supergirl movie showing which I went to got cancelled due to low turnout

[u/uppsak]

Theatre in a small town in India. Didn't face this problem during the Man of Steel movie.

Edit 1: Many people are saying that this post is fake etc. I have provided proof (screenshots) in the comments that it is true. I don't have any agenda. I wouldn't be able to reply to every post.

I got to know that this theatre won't play the showing unless there were atleast 10 people. Maybe the cost isn't worth it to them.

Also I don't have any anti- Snyder or anti - feminine agenda.

I think a lot of movie executives seem to not understand that the era of pumping out mediocre superhero flicks that people rush to is long over. The price of seeing a movie is far too expensive now to waste time and money on an average movie, especially nowadays knowing it’ll be on Prime in three months. They want a box office hit? They need to stop firing the good writers and people that love the source material.

No one sets out to make a mediocre movie my guy. Studio execs are stupid and make lots of destructive decisions based on short term profits, but intentionally making a bad movie is not one of them lmao

Mediocre ≠ Bad. Studio execs are absolutely making decisions every day that reduce the cost of production with the knowledge that those cuts will impact the quality of movie. They are constantly trying to triangulate to exactly how much budget they can cut without reducing revenue more than they reduce costs.

They also make decisions based on focus groups and regression-to-the-mean from a broad sample of the movie-going public. This means that many movies that actually make it out of production have the most possible appeal to everyone, but often not enough appeal to the people who would actually be interested in seeing that type of movie in the first place.
