You go Ava
Who cares the movie sucked
Really why post !!!
Well why not post..?
Congratz.
But why we acting like the movie is not a box office FLOP
Fantastic achievement considering the $100–130 million budget lol
congrats but the movie was horrendous, barely watchable and a flop
You got to be kidding, this movie is going to lose Disney over $100 million. After production costs and promotion, this film costs north of $250 and probably more after Disney kept it in theaters long past its shelf life and continued to promote it though the movie chains could have filled more seats with a new movie. They just wanted to be able to say it made the $100 mil to save face for Ava and Oprah and the press could hype it , though they know it’s a misleading celebration.
