    Yeah, how dare anyone say anything positive about the movie that the cool Film Twitter people hate? Especially in language that is reserved for the Very Serious Critics!

    https://www.gq.com/story/inside-amazons-wheel-of-time So they're changing Emond's Field and just calling the village the Two Rivers? This is a small change but feels really baffling and annoying. I think people are smart enough to understand the difference between a region and a town.

    For MTC2 BW reactions increased the pace by ~40% from the day before.
  4. Menor the Destroyer
    Just variance I think. Bumps wouldn't happen until today.
  5. Menor the Destroyer
    Fully agreed on the second paragraph. I do think that the reactions haven't been as positive as SC so far, although probably not too far behind. The things you mentioned could also influence reception.
  6. Menor the Destroyer
    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".
  7. Menor the Destroyer
    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.
  8. Menor the Destroyer
    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.
  9. Menor the Destroyer
    Eh. They had plenty of action.
  10. Menor the Destroyer
    Depends on the quality of the world building. I'm all for lore dumps if they're cool though.
  11. Menor the Destroyer
    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.
  12. Menor the Destroyer
    Yeah I already got spoiled. Whoever posted that first is an asshole for that.
  13. Menor the Destroyer
    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.
  14. Menor the Destroyer
    I saw somewhat mixed reactions and was worried and then saw the actual reactions and was like these seem pretty good?
  15. Menor the Destroyer
    I don't remember it happening for MCU movies at least. I might be forgetting something though.
  16. Menor the Destroyer
    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?
  17. Menor the Destroyer
    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.
  19. Menor the Destroyer
    Yeah, expecting SC type reactions (but actually hoping for better, but I might be setting my expectations too high).
  20. Menor the Destroyer
    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.
  21. Menor the Destroyer
    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.
  22. Menor the Destroyer
    Whitecloaks! And Thom!
  23. Menor the Destroyer
    Plus the last film didn't even have good legs, this one has worse reception, so...
  24. Menor the Destroyer
    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).
  25. Menor the Destroyer
    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.
