Lol, same. And to call an animated film that is number 10ish in a series that started 40 years ago a sleepr hit…..
I mean, the title is entirely accurate. From the Wikipedia page about sleeper hit:
The movie has had a very much disappointing opening and the sequel looks suddenly in peril. If things continue like this, and it’s wrecked by Wild Robot, it will fail and be a sign of a “franchise in decline” as per the title— exactly because it’s number 10ish in a series that started 40 years ago. If it somehow succeeds from here, it is a sleeper hit per the definition.
