"Ferrari" will at least be profitable for NEON. Even the marketing cost is surprisingly low.

"Napoleon" is not a flop. It was originally a streaming film, and Apple is happy with the box office performance that they send two other films to Sony to release.
Neon only paid $15M+ to acquire the "Ferrari" US rights, and they still have chance to make some profit on the film.
The film was actually a streaming film until Neon picked it up. (STX was going to send the film direct to Showtime.)

Marvel is done in China. Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts are very likely to flop in China; and the much-anticipated Deadpool 3 probably won't pass China censorship.
RT Audience Score is only 66% (worse than the Flash), so I guess this film has no hope.
WB clearly sort of dump it in US. I had seen more TV spots of Blue Beetle than Meg 2.
I don't know why.
But from what I see, Blue Beetle clearly has more TV spots than Meg 2.
Maybe WB think that Jason Statham and the IP is good enough to sell the film? (Unlike Blue Beetle, which has no star.)
