    I agree with Keyser that V2 is looking around 90, which makes it competitive for top 2 DOM OWs. But top 2 total will be a much taller task with the competition it's facing, and even the first one did not have amazing legs. I'm still not thinking it beats SC total domestically though it will be fairly close.

    I mean I wouldn't be surprised if it was like 16 positive reviews in a row and then 2 negative. Sample size is really low. But all audience start is not that amazing either and that at least has more than 50 ratings. That said I don't think anyone expected this to have amazing WOM in the US. I expect a B+ Cinemascore, maybe A- at best.
  3. Menor the Destroyer
    Damn, didn't realize that. In that case...well, I won't say anything for now. No need to raise expectations yet. But that opens up some possibilities.

    100% verified audience score!!!

    At this pace 11 million previews should be doable. Though with earlier preview start times there won't be as much acceleration in night shows, but doesn't need crazy acceleration to get there. It added 400k in 2.5 hours. Hopefully another 600k in the next 2.5, then perhaps another 300-400k in the next 2.5, then maybe another 100-200k till final. (see edit). 5ish final seems about right which can get it over 11 with a good MTC ratio. Edit: used the wrong time comparison for SC final.

    Not referring to box office but CGV/Megabox scores. Yeah Bond is not huge there but the numbers are substantial enough that one can make something of reception. Of course it won't always match other markets but often it does.
  7. Menor the Destroyer
    Yeah but you can sometimes get a sense of whether a film will be polarizing from the tone of them. SK audience scores seem fairly mixed as well. We will see how it's received in its home market. I am expecting good but somewhat polarizing reception in the UK.
  8. Menor the Destroyer
    Yeah that's fair, the humor would not be accepted by critics now (even then many critics gave bad reviews because they found it too offensive).
  9. Menor the Destroyer
    Down to 62. Doubt it will stay fresh. Question is can it stay above 50% (personally I have always thought 50% is a more natural dividing line than RT's arbitrary 60%).
  10. Menor the Destroyer
    Not reviews just reactions I've seen on social media etc. But we will know more about reception soon.
  11. Menor the Destroyer
    I'm gonna disagree on that. Sure critics hated it because they found it too offensive but Bad Boys 2 had exceptionally well-directed action scenes, really sharp chemistry and humor, and was well-paced and stylish. I think it was a really well-made action movie and if it was released today, when critics are more kind to these types of movies, it would get good reviews.
  12. Menor the Destroyer
    I am seeing some really polarizing reactions online. Like on the level of TLJ. I'm really intrigued by this now.
  13. Menor the Destroyer
    MTC1 might be better. MTC2 skews to family films.
  14. Menor the Destroyer
    It's a strong pace. Though 4PM previews will be strong in the morning but it's so strong that even adjusting for that doesn't even matter much.
  15. Menor the Destroyer
    Well it won't beat SC Sunday unless it goes utterly bonkers but should beat it on Thu-Fri-Sat yeah. I am in between you and Charlie. Thinking 10.5-23.5-27.5-17.5. Around 79 million OW.
  16. Menor the Destroyer
    Shang-Chi Friday was 2.387 million while Thursday was 2.553 million so 93.4%. Venom Friday is 2.568 million while Thursday is 2.834 million so 90.6%. Last week it was the opposite with SC sales being much more Thursday loaded than Venom. Which indicates to me that a lot of casual audience demand is being shifted to Thursday with the huge showcount. Which means that Venom's True Fri/Th ratio may be lower than Shang-Chi.
  17. Menor the Destroyer
    To each their own. I preferred Thor 2. Frigga's funeral stuck with me a lot more than anything in Venom. But I don't think Venom was an awful movie either.
  18. Menor the Destroyer
    Feels like critics are correcting after they were overly harsh on the first (I did not like it that much but I don't think it deserved the absolutely awful reviews either). Though with average rating of 5.9, it will be tough to stay fresh.
  19. Menor the Destroyer
    These aren't even bad reviews, why would they delay it this long?
  20. Menor the Destroyer
    Friday ratio seems worse than Shang-Chi actually which is surprising after it started out much stronger. I think the huge preview show count is cannibalizing from Friday.
  21. Menor the Destroyer
    Just because you weren't excited doesn't mean that applied to everyone. That said people are also excited for this movie.
  22. Menor the Destroyer
    MTC2 Many Saints Friday Shows: 1305 (+15) Tickets Sold: 7209/136894 (+1346) Same story as before. Addams Family 2 Thursday Shows: 1512 (+29) Tickets Sold: 4535/162241 (+1212) JC comp: 1.02 million Friday Shows: 2880 (+79) Tickets Sold: 14656/320388 (+4289) JC comp: 6.02 million Comp increases are not crazy. Will tamp down my expectations here especially given lack of PLFs that Charlie pointed out yesterday, still think 20 is doable with good walkups.
  23. Menor the Destroyer
    There were a lot of 10/10 reviews at first.
  24. Menor the Destroyer
    A strong episode, though still falls slightly short of Strange for me. Only issue for me was
  25. Menor the Destroyer
    Missed this before but the reception seems fairly meh?
