Maybe it's one of those movies that does well despite tepid online engagement, who knows? I predict the movie will do better overseas than stateside. Jungle Cruise seems like one of those action-adventure movies that appeals more to foreign audiences.
Yeah, it's true there's not much buzz for the film. I don't think it'll be a complete flop, but it's likely it won't be a big success either. We'll see.
Regarding the reviews, maybe you're right. If Disney has hopes it could launch a movie franchise, it's probably because they know the film's not bad. Also, with so many delays they have had a lot of time to edit things and do reshoots (I think they actually did the latter) to improve its quality.

I didn't know that. It makes sense there are some similarities between the two films then.
