I’ve said it before, but Disney was not expecting this to be a major hit. It was probably greenlit as a favor to James L Brooks to get The Simpsons Movie 2 going. Simpsons Movie 2 will make more in a single half day than this movie would have made its whole run.

Disney should be grateful that this even exists otherwise Simpsons 2 would not have gotten green-lit.

The Simpsons tax got paid so now Disney can go back to not caring about this movie as they wait for Simpson 2’s numbers

Crazy it even managed to last that long

You had one job, OP.
Anyway, I’m genuinely surprised they didn’t pull this turd sooner. Granted, [the data shows the basically did in all but name](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl4029579265/weekend/?ref_=bo_rl_tab#tabs), but I guess James demanded that they wait before shuffling it off to Hulu hell.
And ya know what? Good for him.
I wonder how Marge and Lisa feel about this
