Krissykins Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 1 minute ago, ThomasNicole said: I don't think reviews will be useless in this case for success. Scream 3 is very bad received, Scream 4 is aging kinda well for many people but it wasn't that good received when released and didn't make success. If Scream 5 get bad reviews, it can definitely be perceived on social media as a proof that this franchise doesn't have anything to say anymore and just wants money, which obviously is bad for any movie, especially one opening during a peak of covid. Fans will watch anyway, but every movie needs more than fanbases to justify it's existance. If reviews are very good tho, it will be perceived more as a strong comeback of something beloved, which can only help. I'm hopeful for good reviews not only because i love this franchise, but because i do believe bad reviews along Omicron peak can destroy this movie potential. This kind of proves my point, if you think Scream 3 was very badly received, it still made only $14m less than the two previous films. I get what you’re saying though, Twitter focuses heavily on RT scores and the Internet are more obsessed with that tomato than they were in 2011. But horror has a long history of being pretty critic proof to some extent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Reynolds Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 so weird that random events get cancelled , but all massive sporting events go on, they could at least stop selling beer and food if corporations were concerned about safety 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the Omicron thing, i suspect people will be more selective, and bad reviews in a time that the tomato score spread like a virus online, it could hurt it badly. Reactions are coming out now tho, let me see how it looks like, let's hope for the best possible.

iHeartJames Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It seems from several reactions that the main consensus is that the cast is great but the standouts are Jenna Ortega and Jasmin Savoy Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViktorLosAngeles Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I’m still going with my 12-13 million $ opening, 30 million $ total and decent reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great reactions, can’t wait for next Friday! Oh she’s so so good in Yellowjackets. Everyone is. What a show! Glad you’re enjoying it too. Hyped about these reactions, especially from Heather and Meg, the two horror critics I seem to align with most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I have no clue how Omicron is going to affect this. But honestly other than it’s unfortunate timing in terms of release date, I’d say this is setting up to be the perfect storm. If omicron wasn’t a factor, I’d say we could be seeing 40M for the 4-day for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know, those and some others are the reactions I buy a lot and make me very excited to see it. But the total amount of the ones that have posted reactions so far just has a higher average of people with far more incentive to be positive than negative about any film. There are plenty of critics I'm looking forward to hearing from, and hopefully it won't take long for them to see it. The best sign this early on though is even the most negative reactions I can find so far still enjoyed the film on the whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napoleon Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I thought it looked like a bland and generic sequel from the trailer, so these reactions are a pretty good sign that the film will have a lot of surprises. Unless these people are overhyping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
