Because they were going to Avatar or Puss in Boots and accidentally ended up in the wrong auditorium? Babylon is rated R, maybe it'll be too hard an R for some, but The Wolf of Wall Street released at Christmas and got a C Cinemascore. I don't think Babylon will attract enough of a general audience for them to give it an F.

Up to 62 now. A few 100s, several 40s, and two 25. Very divisive.

Yeah that's where I'm thinking it'll stay, which is pretty much exactly in line with my thoughts on it.

Oscars love divisive movies lately. Think this might surprise everyone in the awards season.

I would love a families reaction to this movie.

 

Wait a minute, I HAVE A FAMILY. brb my 5 year old is in for a treat.

“Divisive” is often misused on these boards, but holy shit at those reviews. Will definitely catch this at some point.

It's scored are not bad ? People made it out like this was an impending 30% RT disaster.

64% is quite bad for a movie that is made for the academy.  The numbers will get a lot worse once more reviews come, it will probably end up with a 45-55% score.

 

Not a complete disaster like Amsterdam, but still a critical failure and yet another commercial flop for Margot Robbie; thankfully she has Barbie coming up to save her from being labeled as box office poison.

Another Oscar bait bites the dust

Some other Best picture nominees at Academy Awards have similar RT, like Don't Look Up, Vice, Joker, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Reader....

The movie doesn't open in the US until later this week.  The tracking is at $18 million OW from what I read...  but we'll see how audiences react. 

 

I think this is the kind of movie that might attract casuals, but when they find out it's over 3 hours long, many of them we'll be like ...NAH! 😁

This looks simply a disaster, Margot robbie is turning into BO poison, and frankly i do not find her attractive anymore. Gone are the extreme youthful looks from say Wolf of wall street, where she was extremely attractive.

 

Chazelle is a one trick pony, only knows jazz, and no other genre. No one is interested in this crap.

She's no Emma Stone or JLaw, but she reminds me of Cameron Diaz from the late 90s/early 2000s.

I would take a step outside yourself and observe how this statement has defined Hollywood since the beginning of time...  😉
