Now, those companies are stuck with these movies even when they know box office failure is guaranteed. One such movie is the latest from director Paul Thomas Anderson and lead star Leonardo DiCaprio, called "One Battle After Another". Woke films with leftist political messaging are already guaranteed to fail in theaters the vast majority of the time. This is why "One Battle After Another" is flopping hard at the box office. Keep in mind, half of all box office revenues go to theaters, the other half goes to distributors.
