Frozen is a more popular IP. FEA also seems to break down a lot more. I think the newness of Rat will see it peak for awhile, but eventually it will likely go down to reasonable numbers. Seems to be far more efficient as a trackless ride than Rise is.
There is a rule of thumb that a movie’s marketing budget is about half of its production budget. According to you, every movie should be advertised as though it is Avengers: Endgame.
