Exactly. If it's a movie you don't know you for sure wnat to see, why spend all that money on something only 15 out of 200 critics liked? Odds are much more in favor of you not liking it either, because it's like putting a sample size of 200 people in a room and getting their opinion. Critics are still just people. Only a few of them are stuck up film snobs or attention seekers.

Chasmmi's Winter Game - Grey Ghost is the WINNER!
MovieMan89 replied to chasmmi's topic in Chasmmi's Infamous Box Office Game
Woah, I'm third for the week? Here I thought I did bad. -
Obviously you shouldn't let critics change your own opinion on something. I just think RT has become a very good indicator of how movies do these days. Aside from a few franchises that are critic proof, RT has been very aligned with box office performance the last couple years. Blockbusters that get panned tend to underperform/bomb and the ones that get raved tend to break out. Reviews seem to even be affecting WOM on movies before they come out these days (i.e., Mad Max, F4, Pixels, etc).

Chasmmi's Winter Game - Grey Ghost is the WINNER!
MovieMan89 replied to chasmmi's topic in Chasmmi's Infamous Box Office Game
Pretty much everyone went low on SW though (compared to what I suspect it will actually do). Besides me I think there's only a couple other that went over Avatar. I know I even saw a few sub 500 ones. -
BOT User Tracking: 11/6-8 Peanuts, Spectre
MovieMan89 replied to Wrath's topic in Box Office Discussion
Spectre: 75m Peanuts: 42m -
Damn, that 4/10 average rating is awfully disturbing. Yes I know it's because only one review has a score so far, but even still that's a terrible sign that there's already a review that bad for it.

Ha, $10m. That may as well be $1b where this film is concerned.

Brooklyn | 11.06.15| starring: Saoirse/ Domhnall
MovieMan89 replied to Halba's topic in Box Office Discussion
Seems like this is definitely still an Oscar contender with those gleaming reviews. -
It's the oversaturation thing. We had about a dozen adult drama that should've been fairly appealing in Sep/Oct, but as a result practically none were. Except the one that dominated (The Martian). Sicario is maybe the most impressive one though. Managed to beat all its competition except The Martian and BoS, despite being the lowest profile, lowest budget of all the Sep/Oct adult dramas.
