The AV Club missed the really interesting question: how would the film have done had Disney released it?
The Mouse didn’t produce the movie. It’s safe to say that Disney wouldn’t have gone near this project. But Disney ended up with it after buying the the distributor that had purchased the rights. This was just the Borg swallowing another competitor. But Disney now owned it.
Disney shelved it. I suppose the mentally ill, woke block of Disney’s employees would have rooted had The Mouse come out against child sex trafficking, especially when known Chistians were involved.
Disney at least sold the rights back to the originators. But Disney is hemorrhaging money. And it walked away from the biggest sleeper hit of the year. Bob Iger should be asked about this in every interview.
The fact that Disney shelved it opened the door for a brilliant counterculture marketing strategy. The people behind this film have played their cards perfectly. The left is totally off balance and flailing.

A hundred million is a significant amount of money to start a serious film-making group. Something will replace the ailing, China-beholden, LGBTQect overrun, America hating Hollywood.
This is that something advancing.
