59% now.

 

5.8 average rating (6.1 avg rating with top critics).

 

As long as it hits 60%, I'll be happy.

Fresh again, 60% with 42 reviews.

I don't know if any film has managed to save itself from being rotten after starting out this wobbly.

The initial wave of reviews for the first Ant-Man movie were pretty shaky, but that movie managed to comfortably end up in the 80% range. I doubt anything like that will happen for this, though.

Recently House of Gucci kinda bounced in the 60s. It never went rotten, but it went as low as 1 rotten review to 59%.

I'm sure WB are relieved they haven't greenlit the fourth one yet. Good for Rowling too who hasn't wasted time writing a draft.

Seems like it will be regarded as completely middle of the ground critically, but end up rotten officially.

WW84 started out strong and then dropped hard. It still stayed fresh for a couple of days before going rotten.

By this point (42 reviews) Ant-Man was chillin' with 76%. I believe it made a very quick recovery from being in the 60s, but that trip wasn't quite as committed to the bit as this is at the moment.

Difference between this and House of Gucci is that movie had a much stronger sense of being divisive, with some really enthusiastic reactions mixed in with some very not enthusiastic ones. This is noticeably more middling overall.

It was at 89% and got a certified fresh, before crashing down to rotten. I've never seen something like that happen on RT.

RT can make the Tomatometer reveal video now.

 

[Lucas]

Man, so many of the fresh reviews have the least enthusiastic ratings lol. This thing is lucky that the critics didn't submit their reviews as rotten.

 

EDIT: To compare with a recent franchise film, Eternals at this point was at 66% with a 6.5 average rating.

A similar critical reception to Death on the Nile. 

 

At least it's fresh now.

[Lucas]

Death on the Nile was doing quite a bit better at this point percentage-wise (70%), but with 5.8 average compared to CoS' 5.9.

Regarding Johnny Depp, certain people will most likely celebrate this movie’s inevitable underperformance as a victory, but the previous installment already showed very clear diminishing returns. There’s no reason to think that Depp staying on would have improved things. His days of being a box office draw are long gone. 

If he does another Pirates movie, it's a certain billion. 

 

If they move with that Karen Gillan or Margot Robbie pirates movies, they won't make a billion. 

[Lucas]

lmao talk about dodging the announcement. We'll see how many more times they'll bring it up that it can survive. 

[Noctis]

Consensus is up:

 

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore avoids some of the pitfalls that plagued its predecessor, but lacks much of the magic that drew audiences into the wizarding world many movies ago.

 

Crimes' fucking consensus sounded better.

That last movie collapsed at the BO and the pandemic has ensured that the POTC franchise won't ever see a billion again.
