    Updated RT Watch/Critical Reception for the Summer:

     

    Finding Dory & Captain America look to still be the clear winners of the summer season thus far, as the only films with 90%+ and an average rating above 7. They're also the highest box office grossers of the summer (and year). We'll see if Jason Bourne, with Greengrass & Damon back, will end up in that higher tier of critical reception or not. I'm also very interested in seeing how Suicide Squad is received by critics.

     

    Ice Age is nearly the worst rated film of the summer - from this perspective, it's not much of a surprise that it looks to open so poorly.

    Star Trek Beyond, Paramount has a couple fan activities planned, which will hopefully escalate the opening weekend for the Justin Lin movie from its current low $50M projection up to $60M. Star Trek Beyond cost a reported $185M, however, to Skydance and Bad Robot’s credit, they’ve truly raised the franchise’s worth at the overseas box office and in China.

    not much cheaper than STID afterall, maybe because of reshoots? looks to perform similar to last year's MI5

    Very true.

     

    But I think the view of STID has changed in three years, to its detriment.  

     

    Testing that, I searched for every mention of Into Darkness that talked about that film's quality in the 24 posted reviews at RT so far.  (Apologize in advance for the lengthy post.)

     

    The results:

     

     

    " Not only does it follow the very divisive sequel Into Darkness"

     

    " The “Star Trek” franchise fell into that trap with its last installment, “Star Trek: Into Darkness” (2013), which went heavy on pathos."

     

    " After the forced melodrama of the last instalment, 2013’s Into Darkness"

     

    " Star Trek Beyond does some much-needed course correcting after the heaviness, and heavy self-involvement, of Star Trek Into Darkness"

     

    " Compared to both Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Trek Beyond is a much more scaled down adventure for the crew, and the McGuffin-centric plot doesn't really lend itself to an array of big twists and turns - but all that serves to allow the film to primarily focus on character. This is why the movie works as well as it does. "

     

    " At least in Star Trek Into Darkness it led to a creative retelling of a classic Trek story. I understand why Trekkers wouldn’t want to see a remake in only the second adventure of the new cast, but at least it’s a clever twist, albeit a misguided one. Star Trek Beyond is just a noisy and cluttered spectacle. "

     

    " The previous instalment, Star Trek Into Darkness, received a mixed response, with criticism focusing on its dour tone; its uncomfortable, city-demolishing spectacle; and its leaning heavily on Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, which resulted in a nonsensical plot with unearned character moments."

     

    " That’s what Abrams tried to do in his two films, and the underrated “Star Trek Into Darkness,” though it played a bit of a shell game with “Trek” mythology, casting Benedict Cumberbatch as a young Khan who didn’t completely parse as the Khan of legend, was still a movie that took you on a sinister cosmic joyride."

     

    " While it fits smoothly with the universe J.J. started, it’s lighter and funnier than Abrams’ movies, with a welcome sense of adventure after Into Darkness’, erm, darkness. "

     

    " Roses rarely lose their bloom as quickly as Star Trek Into Darkness. Well received upon its initial release, JJ Abrams’ sequel has since undergone a recalibration and a re-evaluation. "

     

    " And the attempts to tackle post-9/11 anxieties - especially in the aptly titled Star Trek Into Darkness - were uncomfortably confrontational, and at least arguably cynical. "

     

    " but then shifted into neutral for the humdrum 2013 follow-up,Star Trek Into Darkness, a regimented blockbuster that felt hollow and heavy beneath all its noise and brawn "

     

    " I found Star Trek into Darkness quite engaging because it was specifically about this conflict, a parable for the desire for “old-school Star Trek” and action-centric, somewhat militarized “blockbuster Star Trek.” But even while that sequel firmly ended out in favor of “peaceful exploration” over “violence and war,” it bogged itself down in climactic homages and generic blockbuster tropes. "

     

    "The overall inconsequential nature of “Star Trek Beyond” stands in stark contrast to 2013’s sprawling “Star Trek Into Darkness,” "

     

    " The previous ‘Star Trek’ movie, 2013’s ‘Into Darkness’, was packed with it: a sprawling epic full of new worlds, violent consequences and hefty emotional moments. It was later – just a little unfairly – voted the worst Trek movie ever by some of the series’s most hardcore fans. 

     

     

    So, still some positive mentions, but if the reviews posted so far are representative of critics as a whole, I think it would be fair to say opinion has soured somwhat on Into Darkness since its initial release.

     

     

     

    Still don't think general audiences opinion has changed much since initial release, most liked it not loved it, but haven't thought about it much since

    3rd WRITETHRU, 4:47 PM: According to some industry estimates right now, Sony/Village Roadshow’s Ghosbusters isn’t that far from The Secret Life of Pets. The Paul Feig-directed, femme-starring Ghostbusters will easily win Friday with an estimated $18M-$19M, but could hit $49.4M, slotting below Illumination/Universal’s Pets which is looking to take No. 1 again with $50M. Pets’ Friday is coming in around $15M, and by Sunday will count $202.6M.
