The Little Mermaid is being considered a flop due to its international box office. Fast 10, Flash and Indy 5 are already being looked at as fops despite not even being out yet. Transformers is poised to make D&D entire box office run in one weekend and it is still in fear of not breaking even. There are too many tent pole movies that need Avatar box offices to break even. The cost of the cinema is high enough to see a new movie each weekend (let alone seeing the same one twice) isn't financially viable for some people. D&D would probably have cleaned up about three years ago in a non-Covid 2020, but I don't see how any movie aside from the rare white whale does well with the expectations placed in it.</blockquote>
