Why would they re-release something that was poorly received?!

[–] bozo_500 (13402) 3 years ago

Bc they bought into the #itsMorbintime SM hype thinking it would translate into Top Gun box office

SM?

Not sure why they thought this was a good idea. People are laughing at this film, not with it.

For some reason I now want to watch this film, the memes have made it look unintentionally hilarious. The memes have given Morbius an identity, something Sony or any billion dollar studio couldn't have done.

Sony just needs to sell their property and give up, they can only succeed when they work with Marvel on Spider-Man, outside that they are a giant turd.

The first Venom was alright.

Fans create petition for ‘Morbius’ to return to theaters for the 3rd time.

This should have always been a late September or early October release. Get past the blockbusters and get in before Halloween and play on the horror elements.
