How do you feel about the performance of the film studio during your tenure?

We’ve had mostly very, very good results. Unfortunately, [Kraven the Hunter] that we launched last weekend, and my last film launch, is probably the worst launch we had in the 7½ years so that didn’t work out very well, which I still don’t understand, because the film is not a bad film.

If Kraven the Hunter is "not a bad film", then I'm terrified to see what he considers a bad film.

Truly "bad" movies don't get theatrical releases.
The direct to DVD or low end of the streaming market is where you'll find actually bad movies.
If you thought Kraven the Hunter was as bad as it gets, you need to see The Room. Kraven was a totally normal average quality movie.

I know.

Trust me, I've seen a LOT of slop on Amazon Prime and Tubi - I'd gladly take the SSU and DCEU movies in a heartbeat over those.

Sometimes you can make a good movie that didn't do well at the box office, but sometimes you also have to admit that you made a bad movie, otherwise you end up with 3 bad movies in a row and then you keep making bad movies.
