To the surprise of no one at all, maybe Hugh Jackman, Pan was a giant bomb and made hardly any money to justify for it’s $150 million dollar budget. The world doesn’t give a crap about Peter Pan anymore unless Steven Spielberg has something to do with it, and Hollywood just needs to realize this. What the world does enjoy is Matt Damon getting lost on yet another planet and us having to go save him.
