  1. We'll see how it shakes out but Universal had a lot of trouble at test screenings because audiences weren't aware it was a Part 1 of 2 situation and the ending consistently got terrible scores because of it. I don't think marketing has done a great job of setting people up for an abrupt cliffhanger either.
  2. Reactions I've heard from friends who saw the early screening today are all surprisingly positive. I knew it tested well but wasn't sure it would translate to critics.
  3. Pretty much the same thing I've heard from other test screenings - it's fine, nobody hates it, but very few really like it much either.
  4. I haven't personally heard it's a disaster but dueling edits is possible, I know it's tested a bunch of times and is going again on Monday in Orange.
  5. I'd be very surprised if TRANSFORMERS breaks out. There's nothing about it that makes it special or appealing to people who hopped off the series train, it's just another TRANSFORMERS movie.
  6. I will for funsies! Friday: $16.7M Saturday: $35.7M Friday: $23.5M 3-Day: $75.9M At which point the forum explodes.
  7. I get the point you’re making - Zelda isn’t as silly as Mario - but boy do I not agree with that example. An animated PG-rated movie could perfectly represent the Zelda games. They’re still super family-friendly.
  8. I don't think Tears outselling Breath is a guarantee. The second-Zelda-in-a-gen games tend to sell less copies, such as Ocarina of Time (7.6m) vs. Majora's Mask (3.36m) and Twilight Princess (8.85m) vs. Skyward Sword (3.67m). Zelda's non-mainline/spinoff titles also don't sell as well as Mario's spin-offs, i.e. Link's Awakening on Switch selling 6 million copies while Luigi's Mansion 3 sold 12.4 million.
  9. From $85.8M to $58.8M to $56M. THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE is truly crumbling.
  10. Coulda corrected this before I texted James Cameron saying “lol Avatar’s going down loser”…
  11. Pokemon and Mario are pretty even when it comes to mainline game sales. DETECTIVE PIKACHU was hurt by being a spin-off; it'd be like Illumination making DR. MARIO instead of TSMBM.
  12. I wouldn't just bet against this movie, I would go all-in.
  13. FURIOUS 7: $353M/$1.5B FATE OF THE FURIOUS: $226M/$1.2B F9: $173M/$726M I believe this is what you call a downward trajectory. (Audiences are going to hate the ending of FAST X and quality-wise I've heard it's just as bad as the last two)
  14. I'll take down my tweet! I didn't show any counts from this thread but talked about the general range it was looking at.
  15. That's exactly what it is. It's not a great movie and there's not a surprising amount of depth like PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH. It's just a cute, fun kids flick.
  16. I hate how glitchy RT is but I'm seeing it at 54% so it's at least trending up. If it follows SONIC 2's trajectory it could still end up solidly fresh.
  17. MARIO on Metacritic has the same number of reviews as SONIC 2. And who knows where it'll end up, but I see MARIO at 51% on RT and SONIC 2 also debuted in the 50s before finishing at 69%.* *nice
  18. Hardcore Nintendo fans are gonna go nuts for it but I mean more kids and parents. This is aimed at 8-year-olds with a lot of references and wink-wink jokes to keep older fans and parents happy.
  19. Social lifts Saturday at 7:30 pm PST. Review embargo is April 4th at 12 pm PST. I haven't seen it yet but the response I've heard from critic friends is that it's fun but thin - this ain't gonna be a 95% RT movie.
  20. 5.5-6 feels crazy to me considered SCREAM 22 “only” made $3.5M in Thursday previews.
