This movie might have an unusual case of having “too much” EA. Sales for Thursday previews are looking not too well right now, almost certainly because of how much EA opportunities there are

If it matters the verified audience score is 83%

it's good that it's slowly going up instead of it being the other direction at least.

The metacritic users's score is 75 now. Pretty good. While the metacritic's critics score is still at 91. I notice the average total critics reviews for each movie there is not big comparing to RT. Maybe it's mostly top critics in metacritics

Yes, Metacritic has a much smaller pool of accepted publications overall for movies. They focus more on well-established, highly respected publications, so pretty much the equivalent of top critics on RT (though even a little more exclusive than that).

Still no numbers from GKIDS, so I have to assume they're not reporting anything until the wide release, unless they have some other really weird strategy. RIP

Eww at Wes in asleep at the wheel mode beating this, but still nice to see it so high on a list like that. 

[Morieris]

For something with a wide release, every showtime in my city so far has this starting at 4 PM no matter the day.

 

Hope they throw us one bone for a 1 PM showing.

So this movie is about a bird?

Totally insane for an animated film to be on the level of those other 4 considering how meta reception typically works for those kinds of films.

The first movie on that list shows the big difference between critics and audience.

 

95 and .... 3.3

That’s the nature of almost all documentaries, hardly surprising.

Remember when during Pixar’s heyday they would swipe metacritic scores of 90 and plus….those were the good days.

Yeah, those are the only other precedents here as far as I know. So this is a crazy critical feat.

If I remember correctly, Demon Slayer Mugen Train was released in 1k5 ish locations with both sub/dub version? If so, this film may has the similar case.
