were people really expecting Booksmart to do better just because reviews, maybe should have sold film like Blockers which was directed by a woman also, or just should have casted Cena in it.
i don't think its that high, but this website claims it, hard to see why it would cost more than 10m, could be before any tax rebate

both are box office poison , probably a limited release to build wom might have been better. i doubt a major studio spending double on marketing just for 15m would be that great either unless it had legs like Five Feet Apart earlier this year
Olivia Wilde is boxoffice poison behind and and in front of the camera now. There is no audience theatrically for movies like booksmart anymore. Teens just watch netflix and only see silly cbm in cinemas.
you can't say TG2 will bomb without even a trailer, i would not call any Terminator films bombs either. The last Cruise bomb made over 400m , so TG2 probably won't be disaster unless Cruise injures himself to blow up budget to 300m.
