It bombed because it was rated R, so the kids couldn't see it, the adults weren't gonna go see some comic book movie, and while the Punisher has name recognition, he's still B-level and not spandexy enough to ride the comic book wave; therefore the studio probably just didn't give a **** about promoting it. I didn't even know the movie existed until I saw a copy at the library.
And I'd totally watch a Netflix show with the Punisher. Mature show about a violent, borderline sociopathic vigilante hunting down the mob? **** yes.
