BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

 

Called it! Thought it would actually be a B+. Definitely mixed WOM otherwise it would be an A or an A-

I'm using history of poorly received superhero films to understand where this is heading. With a perfect storm, this could truly gross more than JW and TA. But what we have is a film with 30% on RT and user reviews scores dropping by the day. It's a film with negative buzz coming from a film with 'mixed' buzz. It's not far fetched to project bad legs for this, especially looking at how the Internet is reacting to this. I've become kind of good at understanding why a film with positive buzz explodes (Deadpool) and other with negative buzz implodes (TASM2). Deadpool this isn't, and even if it gets to a $350m Dom final which I don't believe it will, with the film opening everywhere today, it'd have to almost triple its OS numbers to cross comfortable $1b. And I'm just not seeing it.

 

You DID notice though that the audience score is 74 now did you? And it was at 68 yesterday. Just saying.

Not last night, it was at 75 - 76 I believe when I checked at 7 AM EST. I've never seen it in the 60s unless it was there very briefly.

Contro Theory?

 

Could be DC fans are rating the film highly in defiance against the critics as well?

When? The lowest score I've seen is 73%

[redfirebird2008]

It was at 73%, not 68%. But it is good that the bleeding slowed down or maybe even reversed course. It had dropped from 86% to 73% in only about 48 hours.

The IMDB score and Flixter score will drop a lot more after opening weekend.

 

That is every film not ragging on this film. 

 

To me the IMDB score dropping to mid level 7 is a bit already

Actually a B is pretty good for this film. After that RT score, a B is a great sign.

 

Not so sure about that....pretty sure Prometheus had a B too.

I don't think 80.5 gets you to 169.5. I'm tired and I can't (won't?) sleep, so I could be wrong. I've been steadfast all week about this flick being very front-loaded so I'll stick by that. 

[Heat Vision]

I like the sad video because it has a song that was used in Watchmen in the Comedian funeral scene who happened to be the same actor that played Thomas Wayne in this movie.

Looking at 23.9 million as per Deadline, -36% the worst hold yet for the movie.

DL been way off on projections. Let's see Friday number 1st. Thursdays number tells me 27m when you compare it home last easter.

[Arlo245]

"Zootopia which is looking to take an estimated $23.9M in its fourth frame, off 36%, taking its cume by Sunday to $241.3M." 

No reported Friday estimates for Zootopia again? Come on! I'm not going to take this weekend estimate seriously without a Friday number ...hopefully it's over $10 million. My theater was crowded due to the Batman v Superman sellouts.

Well I am pretty sure it was. I checked it against the user ratings of divergent, deadpool and cloverfield lane. I remember asking myself why this critics score is such a big thing when the audience score is nearly 70 percent.

Is 300 m in danger for Zootopia?

A B is not typically good, but it doesn't necessarily mean bad if it's a small number of extremely bad reactions dragging it down which is what happened to Wolf of Wall Street or Drive for example.

 

And of course, a movie of this size might just drag people out of curiosity no matter what people say.

 

Yep. The very idea of Batman vs Superman is too iconic and anticipated for it to fail on any measure on OW it seems.

Maybe that is the score in Germany. I think they have different scores based on territory. Here in the States it got down to 73% this afternoon and then went back up to 74% tonight.

Most people don’t hate DC, they just want better DC movies.

It looks great for $300m unless my math is off.

That's what I've seen too. I would definitely remember if it fell into the 60s.
