Part 4/6:
There is an old adage that "all press is good press," but in reality, this often proves false. The recent example set by Snow White illustrates this perfectly. When an upcoming project is widely disliked and heavily roasted before it even hits theaters, it can backfire dramatically.
Historically, several high-profile failures demonstrate this principle. For instance, much anticipated projects like Marvel’s The Marvels or Disney’s The Acolyte from the Star Wars franchise were heavily criticized in advance, with audiences openly expressing disdain and sharing their negative opinions. While some might assume attention equates to interest, it often leads to a souring of public perception, damaging the movie’s chances at box office success.
