This is the work of a filmmaker who came perilously close to losing his entire audience by believing his own hype about his genius and who seems to have learned absolutely nothing from the experience. The film may be titled “Glass” but as it turns out, the whole endeavor is pretty much 100% pure Ass.

what are you talking about? his films are repeatedly proving he has a huge and very loyal audience, despite his critical ratings going down, people still keep coming to his movies and make it a commercial success. you can say critics like him les and less but have you seen the numbers from box office?

other than Water Lady which made its primary budget, what other movie was there that would be A] anything but success at the box office, and/or B] indicating people are getting tired of him/ he is on the verge of losing his audiance or ever was.

I am genuinely interested what you are talking about… Even the After Earth was a box office success….

Making back the same amount at the box office as a film cost to make has NEVER meant a film did even ok, a film historically has always had to earn double it's production budget, primarily because A: marketing cost were so much lower that they didn't factor in much, and B: domestic intake was the majority of a films revenue, domestic splits being higher than international, but the change in how much marketing cost in the last 20 years and the rise in importance of international sales has changed all that, it's now more like a film needs to recoup 2.5-3x it's budget to be considered a financial success based off of box office alone.

As such Lady in the water was a massive bomb, production alone would have cost the studio over $35m, then on top of that whatever the spent on marketing, After Earth best case cost them the entirety of the marketing for that film, likely cost them a few million or 10 with the production,  probably the same or worse with Air Bender due to it's budget and if they had to pay for the IP or not.

You may like him that's great but to say what film has he done that was anything but a box office success is silly, several can be questioned, and atleast 3 are outright failures just by looking at the numbers.
