a mixed bag = something that causes a "mixed" or unclear reaction. It was not bad, but not good either. Mediocre.
"This movie was a bit of a mixed bag. Some people liked it, some people hated it. I liked some aspects of the movie, but was bored by some of it too. I'm not sure if i recommend seeing the movie."

I think this is not used correctly.
This seems to mean, “the audience members wanted different things.”
Normally you would say the outcome was a mixed bag. This means some good things, some bad things.

@ranahany977 The audience has many types of people in it. “Mixed” means “not all the same kind” here.
