    By that measure, “After the Hunt,” with Ms. Roberts playing a college professor combating cancel culture, is a catastrophe. It cost an estimated $70 million to make and collected $3.3 million in the United States and Canada after playing for a month.

    That sounds like a movie that should have cost $300K to make. Also, who wants to watch what sounds like a rich person battling “woke?”

    We want thrillers with social commentary undertones. Guarantee you that if you made a movie in which Julia Roberts insults a truck driver and then gets her face peeled off by them for 12 minutes, you’ll bring in a profit.
