Also, this is actually getting quite a few very good reviews, but also lots of mediocre ones. It seems alot like the Walk's reception - middling reviews punctuated by a few people that loved it.

Kinda relieved that I can save $8 seeing this

The Walk has a 84% on RT and 70 on MT. Most of the reviews were fairly positive actually. This isn't likely getting the same kind of percentage as that did.

Ehrlich's review on Letterboxd, 2.5 stars

Possibly the least interesting movie one could make about Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard fucking throughout the last years of World War II. but hey, good news for anyone who's ever wanted to watch two people bone during a flagrantly fake CG sandstorm in the Moroccan desert. and the clothes are shiny!

[Napoleon]

This looks amazing. I have a feeling I'll love it. Reviews are not that bad.

Updated predicts:

 

3-Day OW: 16M

5-Day OW: 22M

DOM: 54M

WW: 122M

Rather enjoyed this. Felt quite old-school, I actually liked Zemeckis’s visual approach & the dream-like feel. Not enough shown between Pitt and Cotillard early on though, things moved a touch too fast there. But did enjoy the Looper-esque progression of the story - how it got more low-key as it went on. Good solid stuff.

Does it justify its rating? I was surprised to find out it was R rated. 

 

In terms of Zemeckis films, where would you rank it.

One of his best tbh.

Oh My God   This film has a budget of 85 million.  If it does not bomb, what will ever?  I bet Paramount had high hopes on Arrival but the numbers did not turn out as good as expected. And, now with Allied...? Oh god, Paramount is just beyond pathetic at this point.

Brad Grey. His stupidity. 

[Ezen Baklattan]

It'll do decently overseas so that it's not a total loss, but given Brad Pitt and Robert Zemeckis, I was almost expecting worse.

It does. A whole lot of f-bombs and some nudity

ARRIVAL doubled what Paramount exepected in its first weekend. They should be happy with it. It's doing well.

this looks pretty woeful. RT 63% for a war film is sad. runtime 125 min only redeeming factor.

Is South Park your least favorite movie?  It's only 81 minutes after all.
