So the question I think that's actually being asked here is: do you believe every movie is either categorically a "success" or a "flop" with no middle ground? Because your response here makes it seem that you do, and I don't think that's a great way of looking at movies (or really media in general)

That's definitely a question of mine that I haven't gotten a direct answer to. But I've gotten at least one explicit definition of "flop" so we're making progress.

DA

I think that's irrelevant; a movie losing $1 is vastly different from a movie losing $70,000,000. At that point no matter how you slice it...

Movies can and do barely break even or barely not manage to break even all the time. Those are neither flops nor successes.

Yeah I tend to go off into abstract tangents when that's more interesting to me than the particular case being talked about.

I'm glad to see someone say that a movie can be neither a flop or a success. People seemed weirdly resistant to saying that to me. False dichotomies bug me.

Yeah, and context matters. Success for 'Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter' looks VERY different than success for 'Ghostbusters.'

I think if it had succeeded in breaking even and gone above that would be middle ground.
