The film was poorly received, commercially and critically.

gollark: Done so.
gollark: Also <@332271551481118732> check PRs.
gollark: Sort of, not really; they still have a profit margin, so if you *can* pay for any expenses insurance would otherwise pay for yourself, you save money, excluding government subsidy shenanigans.
gollark: Great, adding EICAR test sequence in metadata...
gollark: Hmm. Does the johnvertisement thing forbid images from containing things which look like malware but aren't?
