Rob Marshall ruined my childhood. Just wanted to let everyone know.

Taking a preemptive approach for the comments that's about to come?

I can't believe they ruined the character of Mary Poppins that I grew up and loved.  Seriously, that scene where she drank blue titty milk was too far.

[Cap]

The whole family (all of six of us) have tickets for the 3:30PM show! (LIN TIME 🤩 )

 

Theater's at 20/107 sold.

Audience scores should just be ignored at this point because people will claim trolling for scores on both 'high' and 'low' scores, depending on the film.  If the movie shows good legs (and this probably will), that will mean the audience probably enjoyed it. 

 

I just can't take RT seriously anymore.  It's just so fucked up at this point between critics and audience and the finger pointing that goes on from each side.

Older people don't go to the movies enough to drive up numbers.

They will be very soon if it is not already the case.

 

In 2017 according to the mpaa:

 

2 to 17: 21% of the ticket sold

50 and above: 28%

 

50 and above (28%) is now bigger than the 12 to 24 (23%).

 

The first nights of tentpole tend to be much younger (and male heavier for somes) than the complete OW through Sunday and even more than the complete movie run, just looking at those cinemascore demobreak down can make us underestimate the +50 audience.

 

Specially if they bring grandkids during the holiday, there is a huge market there.

Can we wait for Cinemascore before we talk about audience reception? It honestly is the best way to gauge audience reception and how it will affect legs. When will the cinemascore for Mary Poppins release btw? On Thursday or on Friday along with the other releases?

RT I agree, without distribution it is hard to say, IMDB make trolling effect if any:

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5028340/ratings?ref_=tt_ov_rt

 

Much clearer by showing the distribution, it is probably fair to say that movie with weird amount of 1/10 that go down over time had received vote from people that had not watched it.

[ThomasNicole]

IMDB page for MPR is definitely being attacked... there's to much 1/10 already

 

Let's wait cinemascore... if it's A or A-, the movie is fine

[Valonqar]

I'm more interested in matinee sales.

[jedijake]

The internet's gonna be brutal to Disney films this coming year. Wow!

[Napoleon]

Toxic word of mouth. And to think people here suggested Aquaman to move. LOL

[DAR]

It's always strange how just about every Disney film for the past year gets terrible word of mouth.   Can't quite put my finger on it.

Always helpful to notice who buys into this stuff too.

The RT audience score thing needs to get reworked.

 

There’s bot reviews for Last Jedi on Shape of Water. The movie Gotti had its score inflated by the studio. First Man got targeted. Mary Poppins has bot reviews with stuff like this popping up:

Quote

This movie shows a lot of imagination, and multiple references to the first. The singing could be improved but overall isnï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)t terrible. The way the adventures were inspired are good, but does not have the originality of the first movie, since itï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s a sequel to the first I think it loses its charm because itï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s not as original since the first and second movie are similar. 

 

With IMDB there’s a better system in place. It makes it harder to sway the score in one direction (and I’m guessing they’re harder for bots to access).

It's probably fake.

 

 

Agreed.  The alt-right have a strong motivation to be targeting this movie, and amazing enough, it's not "girl cooties":
