When they said that, they meant UBISOFT wasn't going to make much money from the movie. Obviously Fox wants money. Ubisoft was mostly there for creative guidance and ensuring they followed canon, but they didn't have much of a financial stake in the movie, so they weren't expecting much back, regardless of how well the movie did. People really completely misunderstood what they were saying there.

Read what they said again. If Ubisoft didn't care about the series, they wouldn't have worked so hard to make sure the movie is not only authentic to the series, but keeps with the canon of the series as well. They were very invested creatively, just not financially.

I would think Ubisoft would be disappointed at how FOX distributed the movie.

I don't see how that statement made by Ubisoft proves that they don't care about the movie's success. In order to raise awareness for the game, the movie has to make money!

They know which movie will bring them money hence that movie has most show times. AC won't even make half for sure.
I think after this incident, they will know how to make a better AC movie, based on all the reviews, and maybe one day they will give us a better movie. Everything happens for a reason. I think a good video game movie will come one day and it might be AC, you never know :/
Fox knew this was a turd.
Glorious glory

This 100%.
It's getting a bare bones release because they knew in advance it was a stinker.
Some people are claiming it's either Ubisoft or Fox who's responsible for this. Neither is true.
It's entirely up to the theater managers. I know one such manager who decides how many theaters and how many showings a movie gets based on ticket sales. Obviously, the more popular something seems to be, the more showings will be set up by the theater. Unfortunately, the competition of Rogue One and Sing have led many theaters to put butt-tons of showings for those films and few for this one. My local theaters also have only 2-3 showings a day, none of them on premium screens.

It isn't on in my part of town,but it is a latino area so not every movie comes here.
shareThat's kinda the point. No one expects it to be bigger than the new SW thing which I care nothing about. Force Awakens killed that franchise for me although to be honest the last trilogy (Anakin: the early years) mortally wounded it a long time ago. But, back on topic, with all the support going to that and Sing, Assassin's doesn't have a lot of showings anywhere near me and I actually enjoyed it a lot. SW traditionally has a bigger fan base though so the theaters are going to play to that unfortunately.
I just hope overseas can make up for it so that I can get a sequel because I definitely want to see more of this world.

If you didn't like force awakens you will love Rogue one a much better movie imo
shareYeah I had to go to a differet theater than I normally do AMC only showed it like 4 times and a huge gap from 4 pm to 9 pm. Weird.
Lose the Game!!!!!!!
