Still at 55% after 82 reviews. After the initial wave of negative reviews, the large majority of the most recent 40 reviews have been positive.
I still think it has an (ever-shrinking) chance of going positive, or at least getting closer to it.
If you look at the breakdown of scores, it's getting 35% from "Top Critics" and about 65% from normal critics. If you assume the same trend continues, and the same split occurs as The Suicide Squad (62 "Top Critics" and 311 normal critics), it will get exactly 60%.
Then again, the next batch of critics could love/hate it and none of the above matters 😁

I don’t think you people realize just how incredibly successful Harts standup career has been. His tours blow out everyone else’s in terms of pricing and sales, and have been doing it for a long time. This period of extended success is remarkable and he’s bordering on being in an category by himself if he’s not already there.
Kevin Hart's top 5 grossing films are:
- Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (with The Rock);
- Secret Life of Pets;
- Jumanji: The Next Level (with The Rock);
- The Secret Life of Pets 2;
- Central Intelligence (with The Rock).
His next top grossing film is Scary Movie 4.

Does anyone know why Venom 2 opened so small?
Was it something to do with the opening? If not, might be a comp there because it's the same month and similar RT score? It ended up grossing double Shazam.

...what
Jumanji’s success can be due to anything but The Rock being popular apparently
I think there’s a strong argument that Hart only has as strong as a career as he does because of The Rock. I remember when he was cameo-ing in Scary Movie 3 and 4.

Mm true true. He was the catalyst for that. But still it had a loaded lead 4 of a cast.
I don’t think Jack Black, Kevin Hart or Karen Gillan really count as box office draws…-

I hate Twitter’s obsession with Rotten Tomatoes. The movie didn’t even open in the U.S. yet and they’re already treating it as a failure. Of course, reviews are relevant, and can potentially hurt a movie’s box office, but a lot of people just look at the RT score as the measure for success, and it makes no sense. These movies are made to sell tickets (and streaming subscriptions).
Not to mention that the RT isn’t even that bad. So bizzare that because it has 55% on RT that it’s a flop, but if it had 60% it would be okay…I think it’s quite clear this movie’s audience is not on Twitter though.

I’m still optimistic of a late surge taking it to expectations.
$68m OW Dom
$75m OW Int
I also think a late review surge from layman critics will make it just fresh on RT.

This is definitely becoming Venom 2.0 lol. Not well-liked by critics, but is overall a perfectly watchable, if not particularly memorable, CBM that harkens back (or is simply a few decades too late?) to early 2000s pre-MCU comic book movies.
Sticking with a prediction of around 65/175.
Venom's first 50 reviews had it at 32%.

Quite likely it sinks to the low 40s (or maybe even high 30s), but that's hardly a death sentence for this type of film.
I think it will end in the 50s. Top critics are savaging it, but everyone else seems relatively unoffended.

Call me nuts, but I think this is the anti-WW84. WW84 has 71% from Top Critics, but it was brought down by non-Top Critics.
It's hard to tell, but the Top Critics seems to be at about 30%. This is reflected in the metacritic score. On last count, these are about 40% of the reviews on RT. This means non-Top Critics are at about 63% at the moment.
Could end up 55-60%, which is fine for it.

Zaslav said he'd only allow quality in theaters. That's why Batgirl was canned, so explain this "quality" Zaslav?
I hope this movie bombs so that shareholders start looking at Zaslav as something holding the company back because his headlines have done nothing but tank the stock of WB.Hoping a movie that you haven't seen bombs to send a message about the quality of that film to a man who isn't responsible for making it is a very interesting approach / a slight overreaction given that the difference between a "fresh" and this RT Score at 50 reviews is 5 reviews.

Who are the biggies exactly?
I'd assume Variety, Hollywood Reporter and Collider?

This is another the Jurassic World: Dominion.
Movie wasn't what anyone was promised or what anyone wanted. How hard it is to have 90 minutes of suspense-filled stalking followed by a brutal climactic showdown between Laurie and the Shape? Apparently as hard as it is to have 2 hours of dinosaurs attacking people and each other.
I need to see it again (I was drunk), but every time this movie looked like it might be getting on track it promptly made itself go off the rails.
Baffling.
I think my head cannon will end this timeline at H18. Though I at least enjoy Kills for what it is.
