According to We Got This Covered, "Minamata didn’t even chart among the fifteen highest-grossing titles of the weekend, meaning that it made less than $15,000."

"The dire performance of Minamata is yet another blow for Johnny Depp‘s career," The article says.

There's a problem with that report. The film hasn't been released yet.

"Over the past couple of days, varying outlets began reporting that Johnny Depp’s new film absolutely bombed at the box office on its opening weekend. The news spread like wildfire despite there being no information to be easily gleaned about the movie’s box office online. In fact, now the studios says the movie didn’t open at all." Says Cinemablend.

"Minamata was not released this past weekend. MGM had postponed the release due to the pandemic and no new date has been set yet."

That's the problem with the mainstream media, especially lately. They take a scrap of a story and run with it, or make one up all together, with no real basis in fact. We've seen that a lot with Johnny Depp since his split from ex-wife Amber Heard, their divorce, her accusations of domestic abuse and his legal efforts to clear his good name.

If these articles show anything, it's not the demise of Johnny Depp's career. It's that you can't believe everything you read, especially when it comes to Johnny Depp and his ex. 

Don't just believe headlines at face value, folks. Do a little homework to find out the facts. 

Carry on.
