You guys are speaking nonsense

[Legion Again]

I expect the audience rating to settle at like 85 or something. Good but nothing crazy in the verified era. Unless there’s unexpected frontloading WW top 10 looks pretty good right now, maybe top half dozen.

First rotten movie to hit 200+ OW..... Sounds good.

 

First rotten movie to hit 250+ OW..... Sounds great.

 

 

It has the biggest opening weekend for a rotten movie record locked down anyway, sorry Batman V Superman.

 

It’ll also be the highest grossing rotten movie ever too domestically. Sorry Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans chest. 

 

And worldwide, sorry Fallen Kingdom. 

[Molek]

22-25 previews seems really optimistic compared to tracking we did here

 

Well, I guess it just means it's performing more like Fallen Kingdom, than Toy Story 4, with Porthos' comps at least

But Fallen Kingdom has additional benefit (lol) of being highest grossing movie with Rotten ratings by both Critics & Audience. And that too both below 50%

 

Although it has CinemaScore of "A-", but we are taking about RT here.

Dark days. Now we live in more enlightened times where the best reviewed live-action movies of the summer are funnybook flicks

i for one am happy to see booksmart, the farewell and the last black man in san francisco comic books finally get such acclaimed big screen adaptations

[Lordmandeep]

Dead mans chest is a very enjoyable summer blockbuster.

 

Likely be rated higher now

[charlie Jatinder]

PoTC are my guilty pleasure. Though its been long since I watched last one.

Yes and no. It seemed much more difficult to get 90% or higher on RT back then, yet blockbusters like the SW prequels, Spider-Man 3 and Kingdom for the Crystal Skull all got a fresh rating. I recall reading a 5 star review of Superman Returns from one of the big film publications at the time and becoming convinced I was going to witness a masterpiece.

I know right? It's a perfect popcorn movie with such creative memorable set pieces, characters, score, etc. Huge fan of first 3, my favorite trilogy ever after LOTR.

I'm still surprised that those first three movies were made, especially by Disney. The set-pieces in all three films are completely bonkers and there is so much weird shit. Really, there are maybe only two movies since then that got as crazy as the PoTC trilogy did in terms of action.

I might see Apollo 11 this weekend.

POTC trilogy is excellent. Don't understand why 2 and 3 didn't get good reviews. They're just so bonkers and entertaining.
