In any business around the world, there are profits and losses. People assess these gains and losses and celebrate either success or failure accordingly, organizing events to mark the occasion. In these events, individuals responsible for the success are honored. However, strangely, in the film industry, success meets are held regardless of profits or losses. This leads to the feeling that these success meets, which bring extra expenses for producers, are unnecessary. Whether a movie runs in theaters or not can easily be known in this era of media and promotions. Ultimately, success is determined by the audience. If those audience members reject the film but a success meet is still celebrated, it feels like a failure meet rather than a success.
Recently, many films, big and small, have faced huge losses at the box office, yet grand success meets were organized. People are questioning the point of holding these success meets when 90% of theaters were empty. This practice has turned into a misguided tradition. Holding a success meet for a failed movie only adds more loss to the producer. Social media netizens are trolling these success meets for films that have bombed at the box office, labeling them as failure meets instead.
