VIDEO : Apparently Netflix Turned Down Holmes And Watson

reportedly performed so poorly with test audiences that when Sony tried to pass it off to Netflix, the streaming service turned it down:
We had heard for quite some time that test scores for Holmes & Watson were so bad that Sony tried unloading the movie to Netflix, but the streamer wouldn?t buy it. The Culver City lot kept the movie and opted to do the best that it could do with it, selling down its share on the movie with Mimran Schur Pictures taking a minority stake.
Holmes and Watson came in fourth on opening day, earning just $6.4 million on a $42 million budget, and was projected to earn $18 to $20 million over the course of the first six days.
