'[Disconnected] fails to connect with the audience.'
That was the headline of a lot of newspapers when it was evident that [Disconnected] wasn't going to be a successful venture. In the first week of its release, the movie was only able to earn 27 million dollars which was not a good number.
The movie was going to be off the theatre in two weeks more like this and won't even go for more than 40 million dollars which meant that the losses were too much to handle.
Black Line Cinema was just a medium-sized studio, and these many losses were pretty horrendous for them. In the first place, the only reason they went for a 60 million dollar production was because of the backing of SGA.
Now they were in trouble, and the studio had to take their next steps very carefully to recover their losses.
Out of all this, the most enraged person was obviously Franco Li.
