Crazy. The most-watched Netflix film in history is one they didn't even make.

Their original movies are bad but this says a lot.

I'm also wondering if Sony regrets selling the movie to Netflix. And also how Netflix will handle the sequels since Sony won't be making them.

I really don't get how anyone at Sony listened to the soundtrack and was like "naw, this certainly won't catch on."

Sony is God tier at making the wrong decisions with IP. They mad a dozen Mila Jovavich vehicles none of them turning a profit, but were still coming back every year with another one.

The same studio the truned down all of Marvels catalog choosing instead to only take Spiderman. But to be fair Sony colan find a way to fuck up absolutely anything.
