Dolemite Is My Name was amazingly good.

Outside of that... I wouldn't think so.
i mean, thats a netflix movie. but the only theater movie he made in the past ten years was something called Mr Church which had a budget of 10 million and grossed only 685k. i wouldnt lay out 125million on a Murphy sequel that isnt even directed by John Landis. but who knows, as i said, after this year, people want to be able to go out again and have a good time. maybe they will flock to see this.

125 million? is Eddie Murphy still bankable?
125 mil is probably approx 0 dollars to amazon, especially if they are keeping it off of Netflix. In our current "No In-Person Movie Releases" environment, driving traffic to your site over the competition is even more valuable.

This. They probably hire gender studies graduates instead of accountants. They perform all the financial calculations on their AppleWatch.

Considering AMC was just allowed to open back up in WA, ya I would say desperate is right. But not really their fault.

Leads to the question, what are asian movie theaters doing for COVID, etc, that we aren't doing?

Just secret mass graves and military enforced quarantine. Yes, less propaganda and panic.
