what's its competition? Is it  a counter-programming to family or teen skewing movies or does it have direct competition?

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is probably the most direct competition

I see. still different type of movie and younger cast like Chris and Jaden may attract younger audience than who would see only Neighborhood.

Some reviewers bringing Trump into reviews,  why?

Yea, seeing that is kinda turning me off.  I hope they don't make it overly political or whatever.

Orange Man Bad.

It s probably a very bold and very brave film about the ills of our time.

Because Rian needs to feed his YouTube fan base.

I see the futurist has changed profile picture and info to Joker, do I even want to know what garbage they might have been spewing in Joker thread?

adding in trump in headline leads to more clicks and mainstream media need the clickbait articles to survive 

 

[sabrecmc]

Isn't one of the characters a big Trump supporter and one not? I thought I read that somewhere.

YUP.

There s a reason Michael Bay & his films are deeply hated.

We've got a perfect example of MetaCritic's weighted average that no one understands right now with this and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

Both have 8 reviews so far and they look like this side by side:

Knives Out     ABDITN

100                100

91                  91

90                  90

80                  85

80                  83

75                  80

70                  70

60                  60

 

They start and end identical, the top and bottom score even came from the same publications, but in the middle it's clear ABDITN beats Knives Out just a bit, but Knives Out sits at an 81 while the former's at an 80.

This is a mystery/detective film right? Have they got to work out whether the character on the left is male or female?

Different publications hold different weight. Metacritic never discloses their algorithm.

 

RT in a sense is more honest because it is just a straight approval meter. But even then, it's up to RT which reviewers get on the platform, for example they've started putting dozens of fancentric blogs on there that count as reviews.

I know this. This is just a perfect example of it and why it should be made clear by MC just how it works. There's gotta be quite a difference in the weighted average here considering ABDITN scores higher from nearly half of the reviews published, ties the rest, but still comes out under.

That and the scores for a lot of major publications (which are then more weighted) are assigned by MC - not by the reviewer and sometimes they look like they pulled a number out of a hat.

Yeah Knives Out will probably do better with young adults, but they’ll fight over the older adults. But honestly, there’s enough room for both movies to do very well. So I don’t think competition will really be a problem for either one.

[Valonqar]

Agreed.

Knives Out score fairs normally as its average is 80.75 rounded to 81. but ABDITN should be 82
