Boxoffice's Daniel Loría: The worst thing that could happen to FAIR PLAY is having a streamer buy-and-bury the movie in an SVOD algorithm

Honestly I am little sad too.... Another film with good box office potential is getting token theatrical release at best....

I don't know if it really has *that* much box office potential. On the other hand, it keeps Netflix's Bridgerton find on the streamer.

Yeah, I think today’s erotic thriller audience seems more likely to prefer home viewing.

Erotic films can still enjoy strong box office success if the films have strong female appeal

50 Shades is more a “toxic romance” movie than a traditional erotic thriller.
