Must admit I'm rather disappointed in the reviews tbh.

For what it's worth it's creeping up to fresh now

If $40M in the cards, it needs good walkup business.

Stop the count

Another classic along the lines of Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny that was properly hyped and scooped!

To be clear, scoopers get things wrong sometimes just because the variability in people's opinions. Hell, even I probably undersold Furiosa from the word I had received. That said......EmpireCity.

Will still be interesting to see how the GA responds. Mixed reception can mean a whole host of things and seems like the reviews run the whole gamut of kids movie praises and criticisms. Knowing that though the Cinemascore will probably be something frustrating like an A- and we still won't know how legs will be until next weekend.

Why do so many people want this movie to fail? I was reading Gizmodo's negative review of the film and someone commented: "This is, by far, the most honest review of the movie I’ve seen, even if it isn’t kind.  Even the kind reviews have not been good."

The most honest review? How does someone who has never seen the film judge the honesty of a review in comparison to others? Also, the comment in question had 13 "likes." I genuinely don't understand the disdain for this film.

 

EDIT: Just saw Scott Tobias' Tweet. "Gobsmacking debacle?" The hyperbole, holy shit.

 Critics Consensus

A sweet ode to rediscovering one's inner child, IF largely works as old-fashioned family entertainment despite an occasionally unfocused and unnecessarily complicated plot.

When I went to see Wakanda Forever they played a trailer for Strange World that was just “Ooh look at these famous actors in the recording booth voicing these wacky characters” and it was (more) clear it was over.

 

Saw one for IF today. At least this one will make more than 100M.

"Overall, this brings IF to a $10.76M Th+F opening. If these numbers hold, IF is facing a $31M OW."

i thought it was tracking around 40m , around 30m is underperformance , i know family films can leg out, so probably be ok
