Why 'The Crow' Was A Textbook Blockbuster Flop
Briefly

The 2024 remake of The Crow, directed by Rupert Sanders, opened to $4.6 million, demonstrating a lackluster response. After grossing only $24 million worldwide against a $50 million budget, it left theaters within a month. Director Alex Proyas criticized the film's performance as a cynical cash-grab, questioning its quality and appeal. Experts suggest that financial success does not always equate to audience approval, noting that public opinion plays a crucial role in a film's reception and longevity.
"A hit in financial terms is not always a hit in audience terms."
