For my own entry, an example of the power of memes. After initially bombing during its first run in theatres, Sony decided to bring back
Morbius into theatres... and it bombed again. Apparently, nobody at Sony realized all the glowing reviews that had been popping up online were
jokes, something that would have been clear from actually
reading them (while I haven't seen - and have no plans to see - the movie, I'm fairly confident "It's Morbin' Time!" is never actually stated, for example, yet apparently shows up as a memorable moment in most of the reviews). Someone on Twitter posted something along the lines of "No, Sony, bring it back again - we promise we'll watch it
this time"... and attached an image of Lucy holding a football for Charlie Brown.
