Talk:The BFG (2016 film)

box office bomb
I know the film-viewing world is unhealthily obsessed with box-office returns these days, but isn't calling this film a 'bomb' - as mentioned in the article's intro - a bit hasty? As of this writing, the film has been released in cinemas for less than a week!

I deleted the sentence, but included it below in case someone feels like re-inserting it.

Despite the fact it received positive reviews, it has only grossed over $26 million on a a $140 budget, making it the first film directed by Spielberg to be a box office bomb.[3][7]203.87.102.241 (talk) 17:54, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
