Maybe, but I'm not sure the audience overlap between Dune and Eternals is that huge for it to matter too much. Although I say this while my feelings toward both are "most excited I've been for a movie since 2019". -
Yep. Here I've seen criticism of the first and/or second (usually for pacing reasons) but none of the third which is almost opposite of the usual.
-
Anyway looking through the reactions they seem clearly better than BW but not as good as SC. Mid to high 80s on RT is likely.
-
Eh. They had plenty of action.
-
Depends on the quality of the world building. I'm all for lore dumps if they're cool though.
-
Well one difference I see here than other MCU reactions is that the few tweets which make a distinction tend to say the third act is the strongest.
-
Yeah I already got spoiled. Whoever posted that first is an asshole for that.
-
I won't say these are the reactions I hoped for though, but it still sounds like something I personally will enjoy a lot. We'll see.
-
I saw somewhat mixed reactions and was worried and then saw the actual reactions and was like these seem pretty good?
-
I don't remember it happening for MCU movies at least. I might be forgetting something though.
-
Also why are they doing press screenings before the premiere, because doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of it being a "world premiere"? Don't they usually start normal press screenings the next day?
-
What is the process for getting RT approved anyway? Is it just to have a certain number of readers or what. Ok found it here: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/critics/criteria Apparently Grace Randolph provides "insight. " They define this as: "a deep dive into the filmmaking craft, an analysis of subtext, a discussion on social commentary, an enthusiastic argument." I guess she is enthusiastic.

Eternals MTC2 Thursday Showtimes: 1966 Seats Sold: 21825/320507 (+775) Total $ sales: 312230 (+10974) Friday Showtimes: 3713 Seats Sold: 14880/621679 (+659) Total $ sales: 199674 (+9172) Chugging along. Let's see if reactions can boost it tomorrow. -
Yeah, expecting SC type reactions (but actually hoping for better, but I might be setting my expectations too high).

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Menor the Destroyer replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Dune MTC2 Thursday Showtimes: 1231 (+103) Seats Sold: 20007/199599 (+2470) $ sales: 281231 (+34582) Friday Showtimes: 2203 (+100) Seats Sold: 23731/381535 (+3792) $ sales: 312313 (+47722) Thursday is pacing similar to Bond (true Thurs, so maybe around 5 million in this comp. Friday around 80% of Bond (13.6 million true Friday in this comp). Not much change from yesterday's picture. Hopefully it at least can maintain this and get a low 40s OW. -

Well, not all the data is insane. And the bigger problem is the pace. Yesterday's bumps were not amazing. It needs to do better today. -
Whitecloaks! And Thom!

Plus the last film didn't even have good legs, this one has worse reception, so...
-
One thing about this trailer is that it had a gap of more than a year from the teaser and is still 5 months out from the film's release. That is very unusual for second trailers and would skew the usual CBM patterns, probably explains some of the unusually good retention (I expect likes to settle not far from the teaser).
-
The Jurassic franchise is nearly critic-proof. The Cinemascore was A- so it wasn't super hated by audiences (remember this was before RT verified the audience scores). I could see a drop from some franchise fatigue but I don't think the reception will hurt it too much.
-
I guess tonight will be the first indication of whether this film can live up to some of our expectations. Of course the initial reactions will be positive regardless but I think something can still be gleaned from their tone.
-
I saw a couple of those tweets but no point in paying attention. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same people who thought SC was opening under 40.
-
He was definitely my favorite character in the film. Him or Killmonger, but he won't be returning either.
-
I think the benefit from summer even for an early May release is pretty minimal.
-
Yeah, but even without spoiler considerations, a simultaneous end of April release is just better for the box office. There's nothing special about the beginning of May that they have to delay the domestic release to there.
