A. It’s weak sauce to blame Omicron. B.I call bullshit on the films target demo being Older Females C.Jessica Chastain movies always bomb at the box office. D. Chastain always plays the same character. Her Tammy Faye performance was Oscar Bait in a sea of sameness.

The trailer looks like a new series on Fox. It matters that a movie is actually good for it to be successful. Hollywood just keeps churning out crap and expecting everyone to love it.

Omicron and variant doesn't help

It’s one of the worst produced films I have seen in years. Horrible.

Fracasa West Story,fracasa 355,y sino es Spiderman,la gente no va al cine.Esto es culpa de los medios de comunicacion

Maybe studios should go back to streaming since the there's a surge in covid cases.

If you don't have a major Superhero film or a ridiculously CGI spectacle scifi or fantasy film to release, IT WILL FAIL because this is what you've nurtured cinemagoers on for decades, now thats all they want to see. Stream everything else same day if you want to make some money

I don't think anything is doing well at the box office. There is a highly contagious strain of covid going around and people are either home sick or home trying not to get sick.

Yeah cuz it looks horrible.

Friends I know who have seen The355 have said there is nothing new, it was totally predictable. Also that the whole movie was given away in the preview/trailer. I felt I had scene the whole movie after the trailer. So I am not surprised.

One day Hollywood will learn. One day….. but probably not GoWokeGoBroke

well who the fuck names their movie the 355 😂😂😂

the movie they didn't advertise released during a dead season in a pandemic surge? Wow. Fucking shocker.

PVOD early please..

Again, people are not showing up to the Theaters to watch Dramas. They want Sci-Fi, Super Hero, and Fantasy spectacles. Why can't Hollywood realize this? These types of films are what Netflix and Hulu were made for, not Theaters. So please stop acting surprised.

Not great reviews on it?

I could've told you that...I was not feeling any of the ads/marketing

Wow, cause it couldn't have anything to do with Omicron, I guess.

Don't blame the virus for this one. No one wanted to see it

Yeah. I’m sure it’s because of OMICRON. Otherwise, I was totally going to go see this.

They probably would have done better at the box office if they named it MILF Squad.

Maybe it just sucks. The reviews from both critics and viewers are not encouraging.

Stay_Cruel cruel had all his money on The 355.

It doesn't matter how many times you keep saying 'OMICRON SCARY! PEOPLE SCARED OF DA OMICRON OMG'... it doesn't make it true.

This movie would have failed regardless. 'Scream' is the first major movie that will determine the impact of Omicron. I hope it can survive the pandemic and deliever a nice return at the Box Office.

Maybe it just sucks

Spider-Man is about to become the third biggest movie of all time and I have a feeling SCREAM is going to be just fine next week. I’m just not sure what blaming the pandemic for I’ll advised ventures will end up achieving for us as an industry.

Not a good idea releasing movies in theaters amid omicron

What a joke! It’s struggling because it’s a ridiculous female “spy action pic”. Simple.

Maybe they should have promoted it more cause I didn’t even know this was out also Spider-Man is still making bank idk its a lot of factors

“The 355” is a reference to the number of people who actually bought a ticket to this shitshow

Trailer looks like shit....but Omicron is the reason

Omicron my ass ! its also MILD

is it that bad or Hollywood just doesn't dig female action flicks much? When does an all female action spy flick get any love

Don't make up excuses. Pathetic

Get woke, go broke

I don’t think it’s because of the pandemic

Film doesn’t perform: the pandemic is really kicking the theatrical experience. Film is a smash: audiences can’t keep away from the theatrical experience despite ongoing concerns regarding the pandemic. Viva la cinema.

Huh? Spiderman just made a Billion.

It's not struggling due to oimicron it's struggling because it's a bad movie that no one has any interest in seeing

Blame Omicron. Lol

😄😄😄😄 what a pathetic tweet. The excuses are coming thick and fast.

Omicron will be used as an excuse for films opening lower than expected probably until The Batman opens, but the real issue is the industry focusing only on Millennials and GenZ since cinemas reopened

Spiderman made a metric sh!t’rob of money. Stop making excuses. No one wants to watch the five hundredth GirlBoss Slay Kween MeToo Apology movie.

It’s not because of the surge, it’s because the movie isn’t that great.

Yeah Omricon is not why this movie is 'struggling' to find an audience.

Or it’s a really bad movie

Don't blame Omicron. There is only one to blame: Simon Kinberg. Dude got ahead of himself.

Yet Spider-Man has made $660 million during Omricon Surge. Has nothing to do with the virus and more to do with the product. If people want to see it….they will come. That simple.

Universal still releasing mid-tier films is nothing new.

Dear , no it is struggling because it is a really really bad movie. Sorry I wanted to love this movie and its amazing actresses. But it was really awful.

Right now is the perfect time to release your crappy movie and blame it on omicron

Omicron taking the hit for bad movies now, I guess.

It really just doesn’t look very good

Did you know agent 355 was George Washington personal agent and remained an agent for many presidents part of Culpepper ring

Also it’s trite, cliche and awful.
