Just saw this on Grace Randolph's twitter feed-

This is some crazy@$$ conspiracy stuff right here.

Man, this movie must really suck if they're holding back reviews this late.

What happened to the reviews on RT? They took the score down and deleted all but 3 reviews.
I think the embargo is 6pm Pacific so they probably broke embargo. Which is ridiculous because Thursday night showings will have already begun. Trying to hide the bad news is only making it worse, not better.

Sure.... I mean, did these bother you that much? I found them more unlikely than not, but never gave much thought to them.
I guess it bothered me as much as my posts bothered you for you to compile them all together like that.

I wasn’t... cocky. Just confident
I'm sure it wasn't you, DAJK, but there was a whole lot of cockiness going around.

You sure seem VERY excited about the one potentially good prospect for Disney live-action movies (better something like the concept of CR than actual unnecessary remakes like Beauty and TLK) being not that great.....
(At least these initially tepid reactions justify the late embargo, albeit it's still early so the overall reception will probably improve.)
Just a little gloating at seeing the overblown predictions for this pic going down in flames. Call it scahdenfreude. And yeah, I seriously doubt the RT score for this movie is going to be much better.

I would not call them stupid but I think their own Nostalgia kind of clouded their better judgment. This generation don't seem to be a huge pooh fan
But you have to understand, these people were talking $300m+ domestic, making these really absurd predictions and being all cocky about it.

Mom and Dad: Hey! Let's go see Christopher Robin!
Little Kid: Can we just watch educational programming instead?

Love how people said this movie was gonna have thicc legs. Boy, do those people seem stupid now.
-
At least you won't have to worry about cell phones or talking during the movie, just people snoring.
-
Hahahaha, from reading the reviews, it would seem Christopher Robin is the perfect cure for insomnia!
-
At this point, Skyscraper might have a lower OW than Sicario!

I can't really get into it in the weekends number thread. I will write a review for it tonight when I get home from work in the review section. But overall the script is weak the characters are cookie-cutter and the action is not even directed that well. It had so much potential and all the pieces were there for it to be a really fun summer movie and it failed in my opinion on pretty much every level.
Thanks, baumer. Yeah, I thought the action scenes in Central Intelligence were especially bad so didn't have much hope for this movie with Thurber directing.

Just saw Skyscraper. Didn't like it at all. It's honestly too bad because there were three movies I was really excited for this summer. Deadpool part 2, Meg, and skyscraper. Skyscraper might be the most disappointing film I've seen definitely this year but maybe over the last couple of years.
What was specifically disappointing about Skyscraper?
-
Having the reviews for Fallout drop yesterday pretty much killed Skyscraper. Everyone's waiting to see Fallout and giving the Rock a pass.

This would be the first July/August stretch since 2005 to not have at least one 300+ grosser or one 250+ if nothing does it. If you adjust, then you have to go all the way back to '95 to find that stretch without a 250+ grosser. Historically speaking, something is extremely likely to do it. Fallout is the strongest contender, though I could see CR maybe doing it as well. Either way, I think Fallout is poised to breakout.
Doubtful. The trailer makes it look like every other MI movie. Seriously, this movie looks EXACTLY like the last one. Hard to get excited over something you've seen eight million times already.

Hugely disappointed. Literally every single action moment was in the trailer. When it's all crammed into a 3 minute trailer and set to 'It Takes Two' it's awesome. But when that's all there is and you have to space it out over a two-hour movie, not so much. Iunno, everything just seemed generic and stale, same problem with DP2.

Pretty sure that everyone who got dusted is coming back. Pfeiffer will play a bigger role after they all come back I’m sure.
Does the Ghost character become a good guy? I don’t read comics so I don’t really know anything about that character.
Not sure. I know that Ghost was a member of the Thunderbolts under Norman Osborn back when he was Iron Patriot but that's about it.

I would argue that they'd be more likely to not release a lot of their more mid range fare ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Something like 12 Years a Slave, Three Billboards, Revenant, etc. would have a less likely chance of getting a greenlight under Disney
So would they be buying Fox only for X-Men and Hulu? Seems really wasteful. And remember, 12 Years and Shape of Water won Best Picture.

Nutcracker is coming so it'll be 3 bombs
Disney's "everything's a tentpole!" release strategy from now means it's entirely feast or famine, which at least makes for exciting BO watching
Well, if they finally get around to buying Fox, that'll be what they're for, besides X-Men and FF of course. Mid-range Oscar fare movies.

OTOH, Nutcracker on MD would've timed it perfectly with the Morgan Freeman sexual abuse allegations
Yeah. Okay, how's about this- Disney saves AWiT for streaming, moves Ralph to March, Nutcracker stays first weekend in Nov and Solo takes Thanksgiving.

Ah yes, The Nutcracker, a movie based on a Christmas ballet...should have been released in May.
Yeah, better to open it in a overcrowded November where it has to go up against not one, not two but three huge kids movies in the same mouth whereas there was no major kids movies in the entire month of May and nothing until I2 in mid-June.

The end of the year is so bereft of potential big openers it makes me question even more why Disney or LF was adamant about that Memorial date for Solo. Yes they have Poppins but Christmas probably could have supported both and with more separation from the big openers and maybe more time to market it and separate it from TLJ it could possibly have done $100m opening and/or maybe hit $300m domestic with holiday legs. Even an October opening might have been better for it. Disney is going to have 3 months between CR and Nutcracker where they don't release a movie.
Disney would have been better off moving Nutcracker and the Four Realms to Memorial and Solo to first weekend in November with Ralph for Thanksgiving or vice versa.

Christopher Robin | August 3, 2018 | 70% on RT (and rising!)

Y'all need to stop being a bunch of a-holes. Grace is alright. I don't always agree with her reviews but I like her analysis.
