Not even sure what the goal was here. If you wanted to look for negative review quotes, just go into the archives that these newspapers have that go back decades. It's not that hard.

Not apparently. They are. I’m seated for it right now. Only a few minutes until the show starts.

Will say that Blink Twice's potential was kneecapped when the producers decided to name the movie Blink Twice. Like I don't think Pussy Island is that great a title, but at least it's memorable. What the hell does "blink twice" even mean?

I mean these movies take away the screens for movies that either also bombed or have been out for weeks and have already made their money. I don't think Alien or Deadpool or Twisters are hurting or are losing millions because theaters decided to give Blink Twice or The Crow an auditorium that is likely on the smaller side anyways.

Important to note this was polled the same week as D23 and a new trailer dropped, so it does have that kind of inflation. That's also why Mufasa and Snow White are on here, though they could stick around over the next few weeks, especially the former. And Wicked is no slouch in terms of unaided awareness either, though granted that can also be attributed to all the Olympics promotion.

Fun fact: The Crow has been in development since 2008 (original plan was for this to star Mark Wahlberg!). That's more than 15 years of projects coming and going, directors moving in and out, actors getting shuffled and removed. Was all of this really worth it? Was it? Was it really?

They've actually released original movies. Mainly low-budget Christian stuff, but the precedence is there.

This is so fucking cool.

Following Blue Beetle, which it has been holding better by comparison, it gets us to a second weekend (ignoring Blue Beetle's NCD-inflated Sunday of course) of 17.2M. Assuming these better holds continue, we might get to ~19M.

This is one of the few times box office-wise where the term "wild card" really means something. You could tell me this is hella niche and only makes 25M, or it's a shocking breakout at around 120M and neither would surprise me. I guess now I'm somewhere in the middle and it'll do above Heron and below the first Pokémon? idk idk idk idk idk

Yeah, that was such a weird introduction. I guess it's in the Jacksonverse, but when you show footage from the old movies, and then show something completely different...it kinda feels like I'm being catfished, even if the actual movie looks fine enough.

Well I like those movies too (and Romulus!), so like…guess I’m part of the problem. 🙃

Honey, I think this new Crow movie has bigger problems than the name of the lead actress.

If you're gonna show the trailer today, why not just show it right now? Weirdos.

*whispers* The secret is that most audiences actually like member berries and callbacks and nostalgia pandering.

Still funny if it happens tho

This is like an episode of Nathan for You. Would love to know what the goal was using fake review quotes when you could just…find actual negative reviews at the time.
