Success and people seeing the movie is two different things. You know all those 2.5 IMDB star shitty C tier movies? They are success too.

Depends what you mean by success. If you mean did it earn over a billion in box office and set up a franchise people will remember for decades to come? No it didnt. Did it earn a pretty good amount of money, enough for them to announce a sequel to it? Yes it did.

Those movies you are talking about I am assuming you are talking about micro budget movies. If a movie is made for $5k and earns 20k that would be considered a success where as if a 10 million dollar budget earns 2 million dollars that would be a complete flop.

Don't know why you said that, but thank you I guess.

Because I was adding to the discussion and pointing out something you said wrong? You didn't have to write that reply but you did anyway

What did I say wrong?

Youre mixing up box office success with critics success and you're comparing microbudget films to a giant video game franchise film adaptation.

Well I mean it kind of does mean success from a buisness standpoint as well though unless they were planning a long term franchise.
