The latest Steve Jobs movie, imaginatively titled Steve Jobs, has flopped at the box office, and people are asking, “What went wrong?” How could such an iconic subject (and in this case the word “iconic” is used correctly, which almost never happens) not draw the interest of audiences?
I saw the film, and I don’t think it’s necessarily the case that audiences aren’t interested in a movie about Steve Jobs. I was certainly interested in a movie about Steve Jobs. I just wish Aaron Sorkin had written one.
