Part 5/7:
The media has played a controversial role in framing the film's performance. While the movie has done better than expected in some circles and has been praised for its quality, the headlines often downplay these successes. Instead, headlines refer to the film as "surprising" or "plundering the box office," aligning with narratives that frame its performance as a disappointment, particularly when compared to Hollywood’s blockbuster standards. This discrepancy highlights how media narratives can sometimes distort the actual commercial viability and audience reception.
