I think thats the case here too. The Irish man barely sold tickets when it came out but people flocked to watch Hobbs and Shaw because it had a giant gym junky and the british Jackie Chan. The only time non-action movies trend here, is when they're made locally.
Aladin and Charlie's angels trended too but thats because they were children movies, besides, I'd rather watch paint dry to go through the torture of seeing Will Smith dressed like a whatever the hell he was or another pointless unrealistic action movie.
