Ok, I get that as a metric. One proof point.
But I am going to go with economics. The fact is they spent $200k to make this movie and brought in $158k. And that does NOT count marketing spend.
Losing THAT much money, on ANYTHING, is a loss. A failure. Something that should end career(s).

I think this is the correct answer. Well thought out and explained.

That is a lot of words to say ‘people thought our movie sucked’.
Because if they didn’t, he wouldn’t be saying anything.

Willman, you are what makes the northeast great. Helping your neighbor when they need it.
Well done.
Merry Christmas.

It is, without a DOUBT, the favorite thing that I have given my customers.
The small and large glass flasks are the way to go. Look great and you get to pick through the different types of syrup and give people a sample of light and dark.

I live in Texas now. I have to order online and have it shipped.
Still good, but shipping is expensive.

Been buying Aprils Maples for years. They are located about 15 minutes from my parents house.
If you can, go visit. They have a great little food shop where you can get ice cream and other fresh items, but you also get to see everything they make.
The cotton candy is amazing.

Bad directors SHOULD fail. Because they are bad.
Good directors can put out shit but redeem themselves with other works. But Rollerball, Jupiter Ascending, Batman and Robin by Joel Schumacher, THOSE movies end a career.
Martin Scorsese gets away with 'Hugo' because he is fucking Martin Scorsese. Guy Ritchie gets King Arthur. Does Don Hall get another shot after the financial abomination that is 'Strange World'?
Weird and difficult place to be sure.
