IMDb have it at 107 minutes now, so it just misses the limit you gave it, by 3 minutes. 

Hopefully it'll be enough and credits are not 10 minutes long. And I really hope VA is correct here unlike Halloween Kills where reception of the final film was the exact opposite of what he reported.

It's getting a screening tomorrow.

So reactions today? It most likely won't be well-received by critics even if it's alright because it's a video-game adaptation, but I wonder how general audience will react.

Only 2600 locations next week.

That's very low. I smell a dump. 

 

That being said, I can't wait for it.

[Blaze Heatnix]

It seems it's getting good reviews and raves from those who got to see it during fan screenings.

I expect crap but funny how it’s the one new release next week I’m looking forward to.

This doesn’t mean much honestly…

Sony is dumping this without much marketing. They started their campaign in October AFTER Venom 2 released. Don't understand why they didn't attach the first trailer with that. Probably thought of selling it to Hulu or Netflix or Amazon prime, but couldn't. 2900-3000 should have been the theatrical count.

I like the new direction they took instead of limitless and boring action stuff they did in previously 6 movies, but the creator couldn't give a tone and mood that make me feel nervous or thrilled. It's not awful, but I don't have to turn this on if I want a zombie experience, even watching video game live telecast could be more funny.  Like I said before, it's just a Purge movie with dead people.

There are more reactions, from what I see two RT critics didn't like it, but others are more positive than negative. I never expected good reviews from critics, it's a video-game adaptation after all, but hopefully it's good and general audience will enjoy it.

Is this another Venom 2 situation? Sony hid that movie from critics for so long only to get 60% on RT! A 40-60% on RT wouldn't be a bad score at all all things considered. But seriously...Sony completely dropped the ball on marketing. Should have attached trailer with Venom 2 and then 2 months of TV spots, posters, 2nd trailer  and online coverage would have been good. 

[AMCTheater2000]

According to Wikipedia, the budget is $40 million

It will live and die by getting a China release 9last one did 100m plus there) and how it performs in Japan where its been huge in the past. Its a lesser franchise in US. the last one did 26M in USA and 314M worldwide.

this is a hard R rating, so no china release most likely

I think it did 160M (320 total) in China last time so thats half of there overall total right there.

29% RT

 

RIP in Peace to this movie.

It's just 7 reviews, it'll most likely end up in 40-50% range after 100 reviews which is totally fine for a video-game adaptation (the best ones were in 30% range). Top critics will trash it, but more fanboyish outlets will be less critical. And let's be honest, it was never going to get good critics reviews.

could be around 50% considering what Purge movies got. Again, it's a Purge movie with zombie.
