Quite likely. I don't know how many "professional" critics are saying so outright (I stopped visiting Rotten Tomatoes after the Disney SW movies started hitting theatres) but there seems to be no shortageof people on Twitter who are are absolutely and explicitly salty about the failure of Girlbusters, and that this new film is backtracking to the original setting and characters in response.
