Says who? I bet that's not the rhetoric they toss around the boardroom. They weren't saying that about Solo, either.

No, just taking the time to point out that your assumption of a certain studio's expectations is akin to cutting out random shapes in a sheet of paper and viewing the world exclusively through them.

ROFLMAO! But you're the one who took the conversation in that direction in your post #739:

Bill, you're the one who suggested that Ant-Man & The Wasp "wasn't expected to" kick rear at the box office. Ignore your tendency to overreact and just explain where you got that notion. The fact is they expected it to do better domestically (a sentiment reflected across the InterWebs) considering they released it on the heels of Infinity War.

ROFLMAO! Yes... that's a mistake that I made, which was to respond to your misdirection of the conversation. But all that is besides the point. A point that you said that you didn't understand in your post #739:

Therefore, can we get back to the real argument rather than your apparently needed misdirection? Or do you need me to spell out what the actual point was?
