Several film-finance sources tell us that Apple movies and Disney movies shouldnt go in the same bucket.
The former is a tech company, of which content is a fraction of their revenues.

Make no mistake: Films that fall down at the box office dont have afterlives.
But when its a dud, they stay away.
But there was more.
The movie was trying to thread storylines from Disney+ shows likeMs.
Marvel, which was part of a grand master plan by Marvel to connect the series with the movies.
That strategy showed its holes here asMs.
Marvelwasnt embraced in a big way by MCU fans ala series likeLokiandWandaVisionwere.
They even previewed the film early for exhibitors at CinemaCon.
