If the box office ended up as over 1 billion-2 billion dollars (which I think the film would get), it's lucky. But if it's considered a box office disappointment, that's the studio's fault for costed too much money which lessen the chance of the film's success.

There had already been a lesson similar to this in 2017. Michael Bay took the big box office for his Transformers films for granted, outrightly believing that no matter how shitty the plot is, those films would still succeeded. Eventually Transformers 5 got over 605 million dollars, and while that's a great number, the budget is 260 million thus the studio was loss. Eventually Bay apparently learned his lesson and retreated back as a producer.
