What happened to THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS?

As we reported last week, THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS was facing several challenges that had the potential to erode its theatrical grosses. Sadly, many came to fruition.

We know that female, and older audiences are less likely to be going to the theaters these days, and quite frankly, there have been few signs that they are interested […]
