If gets to fresh that's like the comeback of the. Century

This has been a slow century I guess

[OceanBlvd]

I agree that it needs to stay rotten just to prove how out of touch most critics are.

[superduperm]

It’s now 5 straight fresh reviews away, or 7 of the next 8.

 

Also curious if it can reach the 25,000 verified RT audience mark this weekend (while still maintaining 96%).

Critics and Audiences agreed Avatar was good

Critics and Audiences agreed Puss was good

Critics and Audiences agreed Strange World was bad

Critics and Audiences agreed Scream was pretty good

Critics and Audiences agreed Ant Man was below par

Critics and Audiences agreed Shazam 2 was below par

Critics and Audiences agreed D&D was good

Critics and Audiences agreed Cocaine Bear was watchable

Critics and Audiences agreed Air was good but perhaps not very cinematic

Critics and Audiences agreed John Wick 4 was good.

 

Should I go on?

 

Critics and Audiences ironically agree Mario is an okayish insubstantial light film that didn't need to clear a high bar. The only actual difference is that audiences were looking for that and don't care. And yet that is enough for some to have the traditional anti-critics hissy fit.

 

This conversation is so damn tedious.

Just curious, how can you tell? I can only see the 10,000+ number on the front page.

If you press on the audience score, highlight it, and then press "inspire element" you can see how many have given a score, how many positive and negative.

59% on RT. Slowly rising to the delicious red tomato! XD

It got another rotten yesterday, so once again it needs 5 fresh in a row to get there.

How are the legs looking for this? 

 

Will it cross like 540M?

This is fair. Except audience score is 66 so audiences didn't hate it either.

 

Should have said:

 

Critics and Audiences agreed Strange World was okay and watchable but generic. Which is hardly going to make any money these days especially when barely marketed.

 

While we're at it Critics and Audiences seem to be pretty much in agreement on Evil Dead Rise too. Amazing.

 

But they disagree on Pope's Exorcist in fairness. Which is funny because I don't hear Pope's Exorcist fans raging about critics being out of touch. Almost like they just accept that possession films can be fun and watchable without necessarily being great or original....and that that's fine.

I think the bigger take away is simply that critics, as a small niche group of individuals, don't always have the exact same preferences for movies as the public on average.

66% verified RT is positively ABYSMAL for a family film, as was its B CS and terrible posttrak as well. there is absolutely no way those can be spinned as anything but absolutely terrible for this kind of film, I'm sorry.

 

hell I am struggling to think of a family animated film that got a worse verified rt ever since the feature was introduced in mid 2019.

Those were straight to VOD so they don't really count as there's no verified audience score for those.

I'm projecting almost exactly $600 mil Domestic.
