I agree. If this was a feature that you could to set up, and then access on each film's RT page to create a "personal RT score" using the critics whose tastes best align with your own taste in film or whom you most trust to critically analyze film, that would be super useful. It might also help encourage people to look beyond the surface of "fresh" vs "rotten", as we all seem to complain happens, and read more into what our favourite reviewers are actually saying about a movie. Personally, my favourite reviewers are those that, from my perspective, are less "this movie is good/bad because... [insert hyperbole here]" and instead are more quietly analytical and expound on what is valuable or interesting (or not) about a given film. Peace, Mike

I believe that McCarthy hated the film, and all of his general criticisms could be, for all I know, 100% spot on. I would defend his right as a critic to hate the film all he wants. But the language he uses is problematic, in my opinion. He sure makes it a mission to denigrate non-Hollywood / Europe / "other parts of the world" in his review, especially in those latter quotes. Peace, Mike

I think I must give a friendly reminder that the RT percentage is methodologically different from the average rating. The RT percentage indicates, essentially, the proportion of critics that would rate a film as overall positive or "fresh". This is why we have, to use a most recent example, a film like Spider-Man: Homecoming with a 93% but a 7.6 average rating. Many of the best rated comic book films, for example, have this difference (90+% on RT but with an average rating of 7.3 to 7.7 for many of them). Likewise, Valerian could finish 70+% on RT with a 6-ish average rating. It's percentage could also easily just drop to reflect the lower average rating (and the average rating could still drop itself, given we don't have a large selection of reviews that make up this average rating right now), but this isn't necessarily the case. For example, last summer, The Secret Life of Pets finished with a 74% and 6.2 average rating. Lights Out finished with a 76% and 6.3 average rating. Central Intelligence with a 69% and 5.7 average rating. With a small sample of reviews in, we'll see what direction it goes. My stab in the dark guess is that it will finish at about 65-70%. For whatever reason, most of the reviewers so far are acknowledging the film is flawed but are still choosing to give it a positive rating and say it is overall a "fresh" film. We'll see if that holds up - it could definitely still end up under 60% if most reviewers moving forward learn toward the film as being "rotten" overall, as that can happen with films too. Peace, Mike

It looks like it may end up "fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes. Based on the twitter reactions from a while ago, I was thinking maybe 65-70% on RT - if it can end there, I think that's pretty good. I'm super excited for Dunkirk as well, and the raves on social media from critics have me excited (I'll be seeing both Dunkirk and Valerian when they open), but its a major studio release directed by Nolan. It's going to be a great film and do really well at the box office - I was never worried for it and always anticipating it. I've been more occupied with Valerian because its a bigger unknown, and I would like to see it do well and find an audience. It feels good to root for films like this. Hoping it does well for all the fans out there. Peace, Mike

A Saturday of $37 million (as per RTH) is a smaller increase than I was expecting, but I did mention earlier in the thread that we don't have a lot of comparisons as Marvel hasn't really released a big MCU film in July - they love to position their tentpoles in May. $37 million represents about a 6% increase from True Friday for Spidey, which may seem low, but it is not entirely unusual. I think because it is July, we are seeing some natural opening weekend frontloading for being a July release that attracts young crowds off school that are able to rush to see it during previews/opening day. So have hope, Spidey fans - it can still go on to have a terrific Sunday and run moving forward.

@baumer RTH's 37 update is on page 170 for me. Peace, Mike

By the way, with Friday estimates, Wonder Woman has hit a 3.50 multiplier, and today (i.e. with Saturday numbers) it will pass Spider-Man (3.52) and GOTG (3.53) to become the leggiest comic book film of the 21st century. And it hasn't needed to crawl to that milestone - it still has more of its run to go. Peace, Mike

Terrific for Spidey. With the $50.5 million estimate, it is nearly identical to Guardians (which opened in August) in terms of share from previews. It's nice to have a big comic book film opener in July (so few it seems; MCU loves opening their films in May or other times of the year), especially for historical comparison. I'm expecting a terrific $125-130 million weekend based on this.

They already have one up on BOM. Peace, Mike

I agree, I thought for sure $50+ million was looking really likely once the $15.4 million preview gross was released. Would make the share of opening day from preview grosses close to the same as the original Guardians. Peace, Mike

I do also think an 8% drop is optimistic in that prediction - this would mean a Saturday increase of 34.8% from Spidey's True Friday in this instance. It is important, IMHO, to consider it sans previews. Ant-Man increased 20% from True Friday, so I think that would be a good target for Spidey. Someone asked, I think it was with Wonder Woman, about whether it is usual for comic book films in the summer to increase 30+% on Saturday. It seems unusual, I think, for a July release to increase that much on Saturday from True Friday. But who knows... Spidey could surprise with a strong Saturday because it is kid friendly and likely riding good WOM. But I don't personally expect such a large increase.

I'll give Deadline some credit in saying that sometimes they are (and quite a bit lately they have been) spot on with their projections for previews and weekend gross. And even if they're off, I still enjoy their updates because it provides fodder for discussion, and can make for exciting threads when the numbers keep going up, hehe. But clearly they have been quite off so far with Spidey (with previews). And they seem to give clues with their write-ups this weekend that they aren't very confident - perhaps some films are more difficult to project with a lack of viable comparisons. We haven't really had a lot of big superheroes open in July, surprisingly. Their line: is strangely written. It is looking to "clear" $42-45M? Then what is the purpose of the range if it isn't looking to fall in that range, but rather clear it? Just poorly written or awkwardly trying to cover all their bases? I will say that even the top end of that range ($45M for Friday) would represent a very frontloaded opening day in terms of the share of opening day from previews. Specifically, if $45M is the Friday number, then previews would represent 34.2% of opening day. Comparing to some examples below, that seems pretty frontloaded. Either Deadline is underestimating the day (I surmise that the Friday number ends up closer to $50 million). Or else the film ultimately does prove to be more frontloaded. We do have a lack of recent comparisons in July, which is the reason why I was comparing to Ant-Man earlier (despite its relatively small opening weekend compared to the big superheroes). It could be that a July opening and a big superhero like Spidey within the MCU makes for a more frontloaded opening weekend than I expected. But who knows... still really early numbers, I could be saying all of this for naught. Let's see what happens. Preview Grosses for Some Comic Book Films and the Share of Opening Day Title / Preview Gross / Share of Opening Day The Dark Knight Rises (2012) — 30.6 million (40.4%) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) — 27.7 million (34.0%) Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) — 27.6 million (32.7%) Captain America: Civil War (2016) — 25 million (33.1%) Suicide Squad (2016) — 20.5 million (31.6%) Marvel's The Avengers (2012) — 18.7 million (23.1%) The Dark Knight (2008) — 18.5 million (27.5%) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) — 17 million (30.2%) Iron Man 3 (2013) — 15.6 million (22.7%) Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) — 15.4 million (34.2% - IF $45M is Friday number) Deadpool (2016) — 12.7 million (26.8%) Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) — 11.2 million (29.6%) Wonder Woman (2017) — 11 million (28.3%) Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) — 10.2 million (27.6%) Doctor Strange (2016) — 9.4 million (28.8%) The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) — 8.7 million (24.7%) Peace, Mike

The actual preview numbers? A really, really helpful resource is under the "Numbers and Data Archive" thread in the Numbers and Data sub-forum. There is an excel sheet that contains tons of records of midnight/preview grosses for films (and the source). For any that haven't been listed there, I simply google it and I'm able to find it in an old Deadline or Variety article, etc. Peace, Mike

That's big. Now it's about seeing how it pans out over the weekend... the same share of opening day from previews as Ant-Man means a $54.5 million opening day for Spidey. The same as GOTG Vol. 2 means $51 million. Maybe I'm way off, but I think a $50+ million opening day is very likely.

I will roughly guess that $13 million in previews will lead to a $115-130 million weekend for Spidey. That low end is about where it would fall if it has the same share of opening weekend from previews as Ant-Man (which also opened in July), and the high end is if the share from previews is 10% (close to how the Amazing Spider-Man 2 did). It will be fun to follow it this weekend! Peace, Mike

http://deadline.com/2017/07/spider-man-homecoming-box-office-opening-1202124834/ Peace, Mike

If Deadlne's "$10+ million" turns out to be $10-11 million for Thursday previews, that could turn out to be a weekend right around where tracking was pegging it (over $100 million). The Amazing Spider-Man 2's preview gross was 9.5% of its total weekend gross - if Homecoming is the same, then $10-11 million in previews would lead to a strong $105-115 million weekend. Perhaps Amazing Spider-Man 2 is considered too "old" of a comparison at this point (and it opened in May rather than July), but even if the share of opening weekend coming from previews is somewhat larger, say 10-12% (Wonder Woman [10.7%], GOTG Vol. 2 [11.6%], Winter Soldier [10.7%], and Ant-Man [11.2%] all fell in this range) that could similarly lead to an over $100 million weekend if Deadline's $10+ million really means somewhere around $11-12M or so. Spidey tends to skew younger with audiences, right? I trust it will have a strong weekend and pull out over $100 million, and Deadline is pulling out some really early (and kind of vague/open) numbers - they could go up by tomorrow. Peace, Mike

As I suspected, Wonder Woman retained its theatres quite well (while other underperforming films lost most of the theatres). It is still above 3,000 theatres on its 6th weekend; even GOTG Vol. 2 dipped below 3,000 theatres on its 6th weekend. Peace, Mike
