So far .... not good or bad enough to wait 2 days before previews - can't see the reviews moving the needle much either way

 

TOMATOMETER 62%

Average Rating: 5.76/10

Total Count: 21

Fresh: 13

Rotten: 8

It could help with walk-ups if WOM is positive. We will know on friday if it pulls in a midway.

[MrGlass2]

Not too bad so far, but there were so few reviews ready for the embargo. Odd with the release in two days.

Based on what? Sales have been disastrous. The 7:00 show for Friday doesn't even have 10 seats sold and tickets have been on sale for like two months.

yeah that was a temporary hunch...shouldn't have posted.

think tomb raider is a good comp. maybe lesser ow but better legs

considering both smith and scott got kudos in aladdin would be fun to see how it does compared to gemini man. if ca does 48-50m like gm then it will have matched it's prod budget unlike the latter.

[The Futurist]

In a perfect world, Tom Rothman has decided to pull a reverse Ghostbusters 2016 with this.

Director & Writer is Mel Gibson.

Actors are all The Hollywood Chrises.

Movie s called

Angela s Dudebros.

Angela is played by Margot Robbie.

 

Subtext of the movie is how the bros deserve a blowjob from their wife ( ask Google if you don't understand the reference here) after a dangerous undercover mission in the espionnage world.

 

Movie breaks Rotten Tomatoes with the first negative score.

 

I just bought 10kg of pop corn.

 

I am about to sit down and read all the reviews and think pieces.

 

This world seems so far away ... yet so close ?

[The Horror of Lucas Films]

Banks has potential as director. PP2 was great, and it seems she made another enjoyable project.

[DAJK]

Still probably won't see this given the big list of movies still on my plate at the moment, but I'm happy this isn't getting trashed. Hopefully it can surprise and open somewhere near Midway, or 20M or so.

I haven't seen the demo breakdown on Midway but my guess is it skewed older - hence the multiplier.   CA won't have that advantage

 

The Wrap seems to be trying to help - b/c as of 15 minutes ago they said ...

Quote

Written, directed by, and starring Banks, “Charlie’s Angels” follows a modern Townsend Agency that has gone global with multiple teams of Angels and Bosleys. One such team (Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska) is called into action when they are alerted to the existence of a dangerous new piece of technology that could threaten the world. Noah Centineo, Djimon Hounsou and Patrick Stewart also star in the film, which has a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score.

[Napoleon]

Up to 66% on Rotten Tomatoes

 

80% with top critics

[Hatebox]

Reviews are exactly as I expected: polite. 

[The Horror of Lucas Films]

Critics Consensus

Earnest and energetic, if a bit uneven, Elizabeth Banks's pulpy Charlie's Angels adds new flair to the franchise with fun performances from its three leads.

[The Horror of Lucas Films]

Sounds like a lot of fun! Definitely going to check it now.

The top critics % will decrease, since average rating is 5.86/10.

[cdsacken]

Haha 5.86 with several other films that would be rotten at 50%. It's annoying how inconsistent the standards are.  It's basically like saying we thought it was going to suck and it was ok!

[John2015]

There are major difference between Terminator, Doctor Sleep and Charlie's Angels.

Mane moviefans really want Terminator to flop (it did), but many moviefans also want Doctor Sleep and Charlie's Angels to do well.

 

It wouldn't save Charlie's Angels, though.  (Charlie's Angels is already doing terribly bad in China pre-sales.)

This should definitely be a crowd-pleaser based on these reviews. Definitely saying like General audiences will love it

People said the same thing about Dark Fate.

On the other hand, Doctor Sleep is a certified crowd-pleaser.  But the film still flops at box office.

Movies flop if there's no interest in them. Positive reviews and WOM don't have any power of swaying if you simply don't care. They help when one is on the fence but that doesn't work for tired franchises that are past the point of expanding their fandom.

I haven't watched Doctor Sleep yet but I wouldn't classify any of the director's previous films as crowd pleasers so that description shocks me.
