This is a really slow thread.

 

I mean, TLJ is doing what the majority predicted. A small decline from TFA OD/OW. Now, if it would crash and burn to an under 80M OD or over TFA OD the thread would be much faster i think.

Not opining as to whether true or false, but this divulgence between critic score and audience score could further the conspiracy theory held by some that Disney has some sort of hold ($$) on critics. Are there examples of more stark contrasts between the two scores? 

There are lots of examples of this type of divergence.  People were posting them early in the thread.  There is no freaking conspiracy theory.  My god people are fucking dumb.

The only other Disney releases since 2013 to have a 70%+ tomatometer among critics and a rotten score with audiences are The BFG (75% vs 57%) and Into the Woods (71% vs 49%) - though it is worth mentioning that The Incredibles has a 22% difference between its audience score and the critics tomatometer, though that was in 2004.

 

That makes 3 films out of the 34 films distributed by Disney since 2013 that have this distinction. So I don't think the conspiracy theory holds much weight at all. Having seen TLJ, I think it's more likely to be a divisive one among fans. Also, TLJ still has an 8.1 on IMDb.

Let’s talk about Pokémon.

Yes, let's talk Porgémon.

$190m-$210m is an INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT for TLJ and not disappointing.

I do also sense that critics will love this movie more than fans.

Well this week has shown Disney doesn’t mind spending money to improve their already highly regarded  reputation.

Having not yet seen The Last Jedi, I'm deeply confused as to how the audience rating could possibly be lower than any of the prequels! LIke, what's the hell did this movie do wrong??

 

Unless it's just completely mismarketed... I've got no idea. Seeing it tonight tho.

Nothing really wrong. Some people are just crazy.

I'll be honest, TLJ didn't feel anywhere nearly as dark as the trailers made me think.

If TFA was its marketing then yes it was majorly mis-marketed.

Let's see how I can explain this without spoilers...

 

The outrage is more about what the movie isn't than what it is

 

Not to say there aren't ppl who can divorce their expectations based on the #brand from what the movie is and still not like it. But they aren't the ones driving the scores down on RT or IMDB

[Valonqar]

when can we expect Friday numbers? 

[cookie]

Last Jedi isn't especially dark but it did have a bit of a cynical viewpoint of the franchise as a whole (which I didn't mind personally).

If DHD does an update before late-night, it'll probably be in an hour.

star wars fans are the worst type of fans; as in the type that have a very, very, very narrow view of what the property is allowed to be.

lack of Gragra made them upset.

[grey ghost]

I doubt this as will be as frontloaded over the weekend as TFA.

 

TFA was a must see the first 24 hours it opened. 

 

I think alot of people dragged their feet getting tickets this time around, more willing to wait Saturday or Sunday for the good seats.
