It’s was made for Asia...specifically for China where it opened 20% above the first installement.

In fact. PR2 opened everywhere #1 and did better than expected in the domestic market. Red Sparrow; on the other hand, dropped another 50% (which I am sure you will classify as a “sturdy” hold). I’ll wait for your rebuttal .

With all the time you spend on the bo threads, I am VERY surprised at your response. The answer is pretty obvious . BTW, I am not even a big fan of the first movie, but yeah...the second installement is far from being a flop.
