Meanwhile crap like Transformers or even the latest chapters of Pirates of the Caribbean still make money out the ass. Hell, look at those goofy Resident Evil films, they were trashed since the very start and still made money every single time. Is Milla Jovovich supposed to be a name draw? Is critical reception really that significant anymore. Maybe marketing is more important now? I mean good reviews certainly helped Wonder Woman and bad reviews obviously had hugely negative impact on BvS' performance, but in the grand scheme of things is that really as important at this point, or mostly just depends on the property Hollywood decides to tackle. If Black Panther for some reason gets bad word of mouth, would it have any impact on its BO at all? I think this would be the type of film people would go see no matter what.
