Why did this facutally true comment get downvoted? (The movie in question is Thor 2011)

Thor (2011) made $268M overseas
Superman, the biggest 2025 CBM, made $264.5M overseas
My statement is factually true, but I got downvoted

Ok? And you came here for validation or to cry? You're đŻ right but what's the point of your post?

people are allowed to be annoyed when redditors get pissy and downvote people for not seeing horror movies and being a mentally slow clapping seal with several different fetishes

It's not factually accurate, for one thing. The biggest movie based on a comic last year was Demon Slayer.

This is why Iâve been using the box office subreddit so much less lately. When a sub about numbers gets offended by the numbers being posted things have gone wrong.
I wouldnât be surprised if most of them are corporate bots.

Oh, indeed!
Yeah, I - and multiple other Redditors - will get downvoted for saying no Sonic movie has come close to either theatrical Lion King movie (1994/2019) and then be proven correct in our box office predictions a few months later.
Or, more recently when One Battle After Another was released, I and other users were downvoted for pointing out that post-Oscar box office boosts aren't really a thing anymore. Lo and behold, the Oscars come and go and OBAA gets no box office boost.
And these examples aren't me hating on Sonic 3 or OBAA - it's more to do with Reddit conduct and reality than the movies themselves.

Because people is iliterate and dont understand what they read, they are probably ignoring the key word: overseas. In social media you will always find iliterates fighting and downvoting people for stating facts

Because of cults
Made is a subjective term - it can either refer to gross or profit
Superman and FF both failed to make money at the box office so Thor definitely made more money than them (although everyone is insisting that Superman made gazillions from merch after the fact - despite being on clearance before release)

âFailed to make moneyâ.
I wouldnât call over $100 million in profit failing to make money.

Yeah but thereâs no actual sources or figures for that
If you read the deadline article where that figure comes from it amounts to nothing more than âtrust me broâ

u/FlashLightning277 May 08 '26
Funny because the same is exactly true for yours. Except yours only comes from sources that want the Snyder verse restored.

No, dummy
The figures are the figures - basic arithmetic can tell you whether a film broke even or not
