They'll all get together and photoshop the same ticket to read different info. I mean-they all live in their parents' basements, have a secret network, and have nothing better to do, right? lol

Critics Consensus With Halle Bailey making a major splash in the title role, Disney's live-action Little Mermaid ranks among the studio's most enjoyable reimaginings.

Some of the reviews sound like unverified audience reviews. I don't care to count how many used "cash grab" in their reviews. Oh how things have changed. And here's a snippet of a ROTTEN review. The Little Mermaid is arguably the best live-action Disney remake since Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella. The splendor is there; the romance is crafted with care — but something’s still missing.

When is a consensus made?

Can RT prevent review bombing with audiences, even with the verified statuses?

That's what most people seeing TLM want....a good Ariel. Hovering between 68-70 isn't too bad. Let's hope it doesn't face a complete collapse.

Thanks-yeah I noticed that. My stupid browser didn't refresh properly. I give my browser a rotten score.

If I recall, when Aladdin's RT first posted, it started in the 80's. It's already dropped to 50%

Dang! The wolves are out, ready to send this into oblivion. It will be interesting to see what happens when review are posted.

I can't see any way this misses $100 million. It would need sub-$30 million for each day Friday to Sunday to miss $100 million.

I wouldn't say the teasers, trailers, or clips have been horrible. I'd say they've been uninspiring. There's no sense of "this is it!" or "the conclusion we've been waiting for all these years" (not that we have), etc. It's been more "oh here's just another Indy movie that's pretty much a mish mash of others". And that isn't what people want. If they've wanted anything at all, they wanted a reason to believe this one would take things up several notches from the last one and really feel like a culminating finish. Does that mean it should be rotten? Probably not, UNLESS the critics felt it had to have the above stated to be fresh.

Anything over 60 would be good considering the last few live remakes, namely Aladdin and TLK (despite their massive bo successes.

What time tomorrow will the RT reviews start posting?

So it looks like TLM will probably end up in the $12-$13 million range for previews, eh?

Okay, I am just trying to learn and figure out why there is such a turn off against TLM in some places. Why Aladdin excelled where TLM is failing. Believe me, I don't want to think that any country is racist.

A week away from TLM's release....we really should be able to extrapolate a reasonable preview projection, yah?

Monday

The nostalgia factor already hit for Indy 4 15 years ago. It did well but was not well received. Thus, 15 years later, nostalgia isn't going to work so well ESPECIALLY if it is even less well received.

Exactly. This sums it up nicely. I'd add to that the fact that when movies like Jaws, ANH, ET, Indy, Ghostbusters, and BTTF came out, sequels were not that common. And when they did happen, they were sequels to movies in the list I just gave. Movies WERE the social activities for a LOT of young people on Friday and Saturday nights. So they went to see what was hot at that time.

Under $200 million domestic is a very strong consideration for this movie, sadly. I think the biggest issue may have been that none of the teasers, trailers, or clips screamed "final film" and none of them had the finality aspect. Actually, they all made it seem like a random episode of an Indy TV show or something.

I'm thinking there will be stiff comp from The Flash.

Dang those Flash projections!!!😵 And a 21% increase for TLM.

Box Office Pro has finally caught on and given TLM a 21% increase in projection. $90-$112 million 3-day weekend projection and $115-$143 million 4-day.

So TLM is going to make less than $250 million over seas? Because it's going to make close to $400 million domestic.
