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.

@ViewerAnonhave you heard anything on the most recent test screening?
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.

Are you sure it's Transformers? I have tickets to that.. Might try going.
Pretty sure, was told by someone at Screen Engine (Preview Free Movies).

sneider heard it was a bit of a disaster, with duelling edits rn
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.

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.

Mario dropped 22.7% on Sunday and then if this holds it would be 82.4% on Monday to 5.35M. I’m not even going to post the 3rd weekend number you get with the Sonic 2 multiplier
I will for funsies!
Friday: $16.7MSaturday: $35.7M
Friday: $23.5M
3-Day: $75.9M
At which point the forum explodes.

An animated Zelda movie would mean Nintendo didn't understand the lessons of Mario's success and Pikachu's flop: You have to be loyal to the source material.
Zelda is closer to The Last of Us than to Mario, to give an example. You can see why asking for a The Last of Us animated show would be absurd.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.

Breath of the Wild has actually outsold all Mario games besides the original SMB, Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart WIi for context. Tears will likely sell even more.
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. -
From $85.8M to $58.8M to $56M. THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE is truly crumbling.

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.

We will see but with how much hype the trailer got and how everything is performing great this year I would not bet against this franchise.
I wouldn't just bet against this movie, I would go all-in.

Feel sorry for anybody who thinks Fast x will underperform. Has this franchise taught you nothing.
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)-

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.

From the reviewers I follow (Jahns, Oscar Bros, and Film Drunk) it just seems like an ok kids movie. Not a dumpster fire or some unfairly attacked gem.
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.

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.

Now go the rotten which have 5x more reviews and it´s way more in line with what people actually think since it´s more populist than Metacritic
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%.*

does the average Nintendo fan count as a "normie"? if they poll theaters today or tomorrow itll be mostly them
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.

Of course reviews don’t matter opening weekend. But reception will matter in the long run and for sequels.
I'd bet my left leg this thing pulls an A CinemaScore. Reception is going to be great among the normies.

What time is social media embargo lifting on monday?
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.-

5.5-6 feels crazy to me considered SCREAM 22 “only” made $3.5M in Thursday previews.

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.
