On the one hand, fuck David O. Russell. On the other hand, it's a shame that an adult drama commanding that high a price tag is tanking so hard because it means that already-leery studios are going to be even more unwilling to invest money in films like this. On the other other hand, fuck David O. Russell. How many hands do you have?

The makers did not focus on what they were selling to the audience apart from the star cast. It's like "look who we have in our movie" than "hey we made a movie about an exciting point". Even if the film is not high in artistic value and it is just harmless fun, they have to sell that it is "fun" to watch. They failed to do that.
Also having DOR's name attached to it hurts. It was bound to flop.

While of course pandemic had something to do with the costs, they were fools if they thought this was going to make as much money as AH and SLP.

People on Twitter think the movie flopped bc of DOR. No it’s bc it looked BORING af

I have a question: who the fuck greenlit an $80 mil production budget for this kind of movie, with this specific director at the helm, in this economic climate? I hope they lost any power to make such decisions in the future.
And just an aside, I sincerely hope this is the end of DOR's career.

The movie flopping kinda proved my theory that without Harvey Weinstein around to bully people into supporting his mid movies, he’s a dud
If Weinstein was still around and produced this, it would be an awards season player with coattail nominations in all the acting categories 🙄
