Man, people sure like a dogpile.
The movie was on in 11 theatres in the US. It was never a wide release. Small indie films are often financed on pre-sold distribution rights anyway. The movie did the festival rounds and is on Amazon Prime Video and other streaming services, it was probably fine for them, if clearly not a career booster for most involved.
I get that people don't realize how many movies are made worldwide that pretty much nobody watches outside festivals, but I promise you it's a lot more than you think.

According to https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Truth-About-Emanuel-The#tab=summary , the domestic box office was $4,404
-
Yeah, I saw that, but I was going off what got quoted in the articles that keep getting posted today. Maybe the article is only considering opening weekend? Don't know that, but I do know $235 is funnier than $4404.
-
$4404 contains 404 though, i.e.
404 Error: Profit Not Found, which makes me chuckle.

Total sales ~$125 thousand
Estimated budget ~$1.3 million

#Box office receipts are not an indication of the movie quality.
Box office is a combination of how many theaters it was played in and how much marketing is behind it.

do hashtags even work on lemmy?

Oof.
Budget: $1,300,000 (estimated)
Gross US & Canada: $4,404
Gross worldwide: $4,404-
Average user rating is 6/10 so it’s not terrible, but perhaps terribly marketed.
-
Note the median IMDB score is around a 6.6-6.7. So 6.0 is definitely below average. Not horrible, but definitely below average.

Well, 6/10 on IMDB. Looks like more people liked it there than on the theaters.
-
The opening lines tell you exactly what sort of movie it's going to be, don't they?
-
-
39% critic and 35% audience score on rottentomatoes. Oof.
-
Who cares about rottentomatoes? Especially the "critic" number?
-
-
What's so bad about this movie that people didn't even bother to watch it to know how bad it was??
-
This is a bit misleading, it was only in 11 theaters before going to streaming so it can't be compared with a standard wide release film. Like Bird Box was a massive hit for Netflix but you could say it only sold a few tickets (because it only appeared in a couple theatres)

My reaction when I learned that “Blood and concrete” made 8 780$
-
And this apparently was a movie with both Jessica Biel and Alfred Molina, crazy
