Lionsgate's last six films have all been box office slumps, and while the studio is mitigating risk, reshoots on "Ballerina" could signal trouble ahead.
I am highly skeptical that anyone expected this to make it’s budget back. Coppola financed it himself, and, apparently, marketed it himself. Honestly, were I in his position, I’d throw anyone seeking to provide “more oversight” off of my movie set. Not to say that that makes for better movies or anything, but when the artist provides the money, they get to oversee themselves for better or worse.
