So far there is no bad film impact. It is doing as much as it would have done if it was good.

You think? I think if reviews were Jumanji 1 level, it could’ve made about 10-20m more. 38 on RT is pretty damn tragic. I mean even Moonfall is higher.

Are we going to get Holland starring in the top two movies of the weekend next week? Shame it isn't happening this weekend

If these are the numbers Tom can pull with a bad movie, imagine what he could do if someone gave him an actual good project to star in.

But word of mouth, cinemascore, rotten tomatoes user scores and even Twitter opinions are almost all positive for this. It's a typical Sony reaction where users like it even if crítics don't. People doubted Venom and I'm sure we're getting a third one of those. People doubted Jumanji and look at how well it did, etc.

 

Also... Tom has been playing Spiderman for over half a decade and that didn't stop him from flopping miserably multiple times. Maybe...just maybe people are enjoying Uncharted and Sony knows what they are doing?

Huh? He hasn’t led another non-streaming film except Chaos Walking which was dumped at the height of the pandemic with no marketing and which he himself refused to promote. Uncharted is his first real test as a leading man and it seems he’s going to pass it.

 

A good RT score always helps and bad RT scores have sunk countless would-be franchise starters (Tom Cruise in The Mummy, the Rock in Baywatch, Alicia Vikander in Tomb Raider). Venom is the exception not the rule

It doesn’t have a good cinemascore or ven really a good RT audience score for this point in time.

I think you may be on to something.. Sony doesn’t make films for critic points they make fun films for audiences who don’t take those critics rotten tomatoes scores seriously. And thank gawd.. can you imagine what kind of film uncharted would have to become to please there kind? No thanks! I prefer Sony pleases the millions of people over them any day.

That’s not what deadline is finding.. it’s a hit with audiences..

 

”Audiences like Uncharted better than critics on Rotten Tomatoes, 88% to 39% Rotten. CinemaScore stands at a respectable B+, while Comscore/Screen Engine shows 79% overall positive score and a 61% recommend, while kids under 12 say the movie was well worth their time, with a huge 96% and a 57% recommend.”

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes have thumbed down Uncharted at 39% Rotten, but it’s not a movie for them: It’s a pure, breezy, fun popcorn film.

 

Did deadline just subtly call critics dull, stuffy and boring?

You guys think everything is mid that’s not getting 99.9999 % out of 100

No. 90+% on RT and A- and above cinemascore would be enough for a film like this. Not too hard for a 4 quadrant crowd pleaser to get these.

This movie was mocked and deemed a failure even before it was filmed let alone released. The fact those are the audience scores is great in the end. 

 

Even about the critics if you check rotten tomatoes this is far from being a bad videogame to movie adaptation even for them. All resident evil movies did worse, plus Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider movies did worse, price of Persia, silent hill, Warcraft, assassin's creed, etc.

[Menor the Destroyer]

Why should this movie be graded on a curve?

[John Marston]

Just because audiences are giving this movie a pass doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try harder for the sequel. Unfortunately they will probably just do a lazy sequel that doesn’t improve on anything just like they did with Venom 2

They did improve on everything in Venom 2 but getting in on the bit.

Just to add to this the ultimate test to see whether an audience likes a movie is the box office results and it’s on its way to doubling even the highest expectations with close to 60 weekend. Audience just went up to 89%

Well since people are so interested in rotten tomatoes and apparently they are the standard for quality, Venom 2 is a 58 in there opposed to the 30 the first one got. So it must mean it's twice as good. They did improve.

 

(Although I have yet to meet a person that prefers the second movie to the first one to be honest)

[Cap]

Uncharted No.

Niles Meh.

Scream Yes.

 

I'm waiting on Dog.  I feel that one is gonna be the best of the bunch.
