I get why they've got explanatory entries like "no one could reach this particular theater," but I think what he's saying is that they've omitted any way of expressing the possibility that the public rejected a movie.

That maybe helps executives save face, but the studio themselves presumably aren't under any illusions about what is actually happening?

SA like, after Gigli flopped, Sony didn't say "darn it, we had a great movie on our hands but for some reason all the theaters kept getting closed because of random accidents"

Just the opposite in fact. They have a pile of things they've ruled out as excuses, leaving the explanation that the reason was that it didn't connect with the public. Whether it is good or bad is pretty immaterial, we all know bad movies that made bank andasterpieces that sank.

AYRT

No, you're right. I'm sure they didn't.

Because didn't sell tickets is immediately obvious from it not having brought in any fucking money. So then you ask why and start by documenting the various reasons preventing a theater from having sold any. Then, bit by bit, you grind them all out until you have a pile of excuses as to why.

The lack of money due to ticket sales already tells them that. They are looking for the reason they rejected it at this stage.
