No its bad, makes the RT audience score make sense.... 

Bad legs incoming. Comedies rarely get above B with B+/A- being really really good scores. Once they dip to B- or less 😬

[La Binoche]

I thought Hustlers was supposed to be a crowd pleaser?

So I know different scores mean different things for different genres. Is that B- not as bad as it looks? ‘Cause it doesn’t look great to me.

Magic Mike got a B.

Supposedly it's a crowdpleaser so that's strange.

Film festival crowdpleaser doesn’t always mean actual crowds crowdpleaser

RT audience down a tick at 73 with 936 reviews. I don’t think it’s getting rejected or anything, but definitely adjusting my leg expectations down some.

that CS is terrible. seems like Hustlers is connecting more with critics than audiences.

I wonder if that actually means it's good, since that Marvel garbage routinely gets A's.

Out of Sight got a B- , my favorite Jennifer Lopez Film

 

but if audiences were sold a different film from trailers could cause low score?

[TLK]

I think Hustlers is a more serious movie than what the trailers showed. It is not the type of genre movie that JLo's fans expect from her so if people are going to watch it for comedy, action or romance they may be disappointed.

I wish I was making this up but there are people out there who are mad because this wasn't a raunchy Rated R stripper romp (i.e. nudity all of the place).

 

Yes,  they could have made a film like that but would it have been as good or as successful?  Probably not in all honesty.  I don't think it would have put more asses in seats.    It would have put more asses on Pornhub awaiting the leaks.

Deadline updated again

 

Quote

Tracking services saw the Hustlers wave coming, and, boy, were they right, with the Lorene Scafaria film now seeing an awesome, over-indexed opening of $31.5M, the best domestic debut ever for five-year-old STX and for a Lopez live-action film. Friday is bigger than the $11M we spotted earlier now at $13.2M (including Thursday $2.5M previews)

 

Yeah, yeah, It Chapter Two is still No. 1 with $40.7M, -55% in weekend 2,

 

Other major studios are envious of STX this weekend: They wish they had a little cash cow like Hustlers, especially Warner Bros. whose feature adaptation of Pulitzer-prize winning drama The Goldfinch is rusting with $2.7M at 2,542 theaters.

 

   @ those Goldfinch numbers

 

 

Also very exciting for Hustlers, although WOM might impact the weekend a tad

[Legion Again]

31.5 would be perfect.     

 

Still got a really nice It weekend, I’ll wait for the Sat bounce there.

Goldfinch just unbelievably putrid numbers

the goldfinch weekend being barely above hustler's previews is something I don't think anybody would've seen coming 

[Ryan Reynolds]

it will be funny when Hustlers II bombs 2 years later

[Cap]

I'm sorry, what the hell is that Goldfinch number?

I give Out of Sight an A+, I love that movie!

Honestly it's one of my favorites from the entire decade.

 

Can't believe it came out 21 years ago!

Lot of great holds there. Lion King definitely making it out of the 530s, Scary Stories might crack 70, PBF having quite the nice little run.

[Legion Again]

Just learned that Overcomer has a wild 98% audience RT with a pretty healthy sample size!

[dxmatrixdt]

The Cell - A-

Anaconda - B

Shall We Dance? - B

B- isn’t bad. 

 

$13.5m??? Amazing. 

 

That IT Chapter 2 hold is really strong. Maybe too good to be true? Friday would be +220% !
