The drawback of releasing films on OTT platforms - Page 2

After watching trailer of Archies I thought it would have bombed at the box office.

If it came I cinemas SRK would probably cover more losses than Boney or Bachchan

Refugee bombed at the box office. Most of the public is not that interested in nepo kids release. Initially few will watch it, because they are curious, but once word of mouth is bad nothing can save the movie

Archies's biggest drawback is flop music. A debut film needs good music to attract the audience.

If LAADLA kartik would have been in the Archies then

If Archies would have released in theatre it would have been disaster.

Makers knew it hence released on OTT to save faces.

Lol NO......Archies was a netflix movie from the get go....it wasn't decided later...

...there's no box office collection to balance out the negative reviews. Zoya has a good box office record, and if Archies had done well at the box office, the online hate might have neutralized, similar to what happened with Animal. Now, with the negative word-of-mouth online, people are hate-watching it, and though there are some unpopular positive opinions, they get lost in the sea of negativity.

If Animal had released on OTT and hadn't received the blockbuster tag right away, we'd have to rely solely on the negative online reviews.

Thoughts?
