Thanks for sharing what you’ve found in the way of definitions, but here’s what I found when searching the term:

“How much does a film have to make today to be considered a blockbuster?
In the case of a movie, a blockbuster is understood to generate profits of no less than $100,000,000.00 in United States currency. Generally, this figure must be earned within a relatively short period of time, such as a couple of months.May 18, 2023”

By this definition, Shazam 2, which has made $75mil in profit is nearly at the threshold of being a blockbuster despite also being universally panned. So, yeah, the interpretation seems to be loose, or even subjective.

Keep in mind that I used the term blockbuster as the antithesis of bomb to make a point about subjectivity. You can use whatever standard you want to determine blockbuster, I won’t lose any sleep.

“Well it proves one thing… you … don't have the education enough to admit when you're wrong.”

And back on the ignore block you go. Was a mistake taking you off it. Still add nothing to the conversation. Oh well… live and learn.
