Uhm, well I guess it went up to 43 reviews now. But yet again no movement either up or down for the percentage and average rating.

No way. QM started well worse right off the bat. This feels more like it's treading the line of mediocrity for most people and just fluctuating between 5 and 6.

It did? Was Quantumania immediately rotten? I already forget. It definitely looks like it could fare worse with Top Critics on RT/MC. Already at 38% and 51, respectively

At this point Quantumania was at 65% with a 6.0/10 average rating.

I think Quantumania started in the mid-60s (RT).

Not immediately rotten but it had already fallen into mid-low 60s by now. Shazam feels more like mid 50s, maybe low 60s if it's very lucky, don't think it's going to go as low as QM just by virtue of being a more inoffensive film

Nvm I get why WB saved the reviews now.

meh, no surprises here considering how mediocre the trailers were together with how backhanded the compliments from scoopers were

 

after loving the first one (very rare for me and a superhero movie) I was really looking forward to this, doubly so if it was going to be a mr mind movie

Mr Mind would've guaranteed a better film...by design it would have to stay smaller scale like 1 vs this big cgi slop. Biggest mistake made by far...but I can get why WB would be wary of an evil caterpillar movie lol.

Grace Randolph liked the movie.

 

I hope it does well because I like the director.

[AJG]

Bloody hell. That number is ROUGH.

Yikes, can see why they were lifting the embargo this late. Looks to be another Black Adam situation!

[ThomasNicole]

Yeah it´s a disaster for a movie that was kinda depending on great reception to avoid a huge failure 

 

It will ended up rotten or just above the fresh percentage and metacritic if awful

Well that's gotta be a bad sign.

The crawl to Rotten BEGINS!!!!!!!
 

[jak9]

I hope it does better than that! But it only cost $100 million to produce, so I don't think it's a disaster.

 

Quote

Like the original, the sequel cost $100 million to produce. That’s a lot of money, of course, but it’s significantly less than recent DC installments like “Black Adam” and “The Suicide Squad,” which carried price tags between $185 million and $200 million and thus required a lot more coinage to turn a profit.

No, it cost more than 100. The original cost 100.

*channels energy to increase the score*

 

EDIT: It's back to 70% now so it seems like it worked (for now).

$100m is the studio number.
 

I’ll take a wild guess and say we’ll hear the film actually cost between $125m-$150m before Monday.

I've also seen $125 million. I suspect that you might be right, but I think it's closer to $125 million than $150 million.

With Batgirl, studio executives faced a situation where they could spend another $7 million to $9 million in postproduction and special-effects costs — and perhaps more in reshoots — to try to get the movie to a place where it could stand alongside some of DC’s similarly small gambles, like the upcoming Shazam! Fury of the Gods, whose budget is $125 million.
