The scary undersea friends. The fact that it's 2hrs 15mins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interiorgatordecorator Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Went over the reactions; more "its ok"s than I expected, I think its impossible for this to not be certified fresh, but I expect it'll have a pretty meh average rating Edited May 10, 2023 by interiorgatordecorator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I think the verified audience score and the cinemascore together are the best indicator of legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for movies that have broad appeal so that secondary, tertiary, etc target audience continues the business once primary target audience is exhausted. Movies with very limited appeal aren't helped much because if there's no interest then high scores won't create it. But since LM is a broad appeal movie like Mario,etc then yeah absolutely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see it. Other than the bodyguard then this should be a near lock. It will make far less INT than aladdin or BatB but it would have to do abysmal in comparison to not be better than its DOM gross even considering presales don't look bad.

jedijake Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 The fact that Hallie completely nailed it and is phenomenal is probably the best thing the movie could hope for. The fact that nothing is absolutely dreadful (most people don't care that much about pacing) and that McCarthy and Diggs pleasantly surprised are bonuses. Most people want to see Ariel and apparently this Ariel is outstanding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
