I hope we achieve to put it down to ZERO. I sent my review even if it's not posted, Rotten Tomatoes keeps calculating the score.

"The shareholder also took umbrage at Plepler's move to greenlight the Michael Jackson doc Leaving Neverland, arguing that it opened the company up to a nine-figure lawsuit. (The Jackson estate sued HBO for $100 million days before the letter, and the case is making its way through the courts.) Plepler exited HBO on Feb. 28, three days after the missive."

Judge Sides With Michael Jackson Estate in ‘Leaving Neverland’ Dispute By Gene Maddaus
A federal judge is leaning towards granting the Michael Jackson estate’s move to take HBO to arbitration in its dispute over the documentary “Leaving Neverland.”
Judge George Wu issued a tentative ruling on Thursday in which he denied HBO’s motion to dismiss the estate’s case. Wu is expected to make the ruling final by the end of September.
The four-hour documentary features allegations of two men, James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who say they were sexually abused by Jackson over the course of several years when they were young children. The Jackson estate argues that by running the documentary, HBO violated a non-disparagement agreement from a 1992 concert film from Jackson’s “Dangerous” tour.
The estate blasted HBO for not including their rebuttal to the allegations in the film, and went to court seeking to compel a public arbitration of the contract dispute. HBO has said that the 26-year-old contract no longer applies.
HBO’s attorneys, led by Theodore Boutrous, had sought to throw out the case under California’s anti-SLAPP statute, which discourages frivolous litigation intended to chill speech on issues of public interest.
Wu had earlier suggested that HBO file the anti-SLAPP motion, but in his tentative ruling he concluded that the statute does not apply to requests for arbitration.
In court on Thursday, Boutrous asked the judge to reconsider.
“It was filed to chill speech,” he argued. “It was filed to tell the world, ‘Don’t talk about child sex abuse.’… A company like HBO may be able to fight back and move forward. Others might not be able to do that.”
Wu acknowledged that the legal issues in the case are close calls, and that his ruling will likely be appealed.
“You’re a big company, they’re a wealthy estate,” he told HBO’s lawyers. “It’s a clash of the titans.”
Outside court, John Branca, a co-executor of Jackson’s estate, said that HBO has been trying to avoid a public airing of both sides of the story.
“I’ve never seen a media organization fight so hard to keep a secret,” he said. “We’re saying let’s get all the facts out there, not just two stories from two accusers with a financial interest.”
A spokesperson for HBO said, “We are waiting to see the Judge’s final decision.

In my head, it's not about winning whatever damages the Estate are suing for, I think it's about what the Estate uncover, and what HBO are trying to avoid having to disclose

Yeah - I think the Estate is trying to uncover more about how LN was funded and how it cruised to HBO. We don't know most of that - I'm not expecting bomb shells about Wadechuck per se, but who knows.

I expect the estate will get their hands on the multiple re-shoots, edits, etc. It will be interesting to compare and picking up more discrepancies.
