But I’m not going to go to the theatre for it.

Same here, and frankly I will never again think it is surprising that a theatrical release is underperforming. Doesn’t matter which film. Theaters are underperforming because of many factors.

I can buy my own copy of the film for less than it would take for me and one other person to see it together once in a theater.
