LONG DIVISION - Numbers Are Real Box Office Is Fake #thunderbolts

An extended-length, just a little-bit overdue overview into a few of the series' recent digressions into box-office and film business topics when it comes to recent (and not-as-recent) major releases and how "success" is reported and recorded financially (or otherwise.)
Some of this has already been (and will continue to be) "carved-out" and FURTHER expanded into more specific pieces; but this represents a (mostly?) complete set of thoughts that were coming together for me watching the new/old/incoming entertainment media (over)-react to what should have been, in my experience, a pretty mundane set of circumstances i.e. a poorly-reviewed movie blowing up anyway ("MINECRAFT") followed by the "right in everybody's faces 'how it works' obviousness" of a studio acting like a major hit ("SINNERS") is just some random movie it released because it happened partly outside their narrative versus a (different) studio cheering on an only "decent-sized" hit (in terms of numbers) re: "THUNDERBOLTS" as a major because ...well, they have a plan and it's "winning enough" to fit into it 👍
