No!

F8 ratios

[Krissykins]

Aww man I’ve booked to see Meg on Sunday and I didn’t even really like the first film 😂

 

0% 😂

[Krissykins]

$10.2m for TMNT looks better than $6m. Think I’ll just wait until Sunday to comment, due to all the extra previews etc. 

 

$70m budget, 94% RT and A cinemascore though, it looks like it’s on to a winner. Just as well, as they’ve apparently already greenlit the sequel.

If WB is smart they will delay streaming and dvd releases until Thanksgiving. Barbie needs to be a 16 week theater exclusive at least.

 

Just look at  how TGM did with a long theater run.

To be fair, those 6 reviews are all like 4.5-5/10... It seems to be a movie that just is "blah" and unremarkable enough to not recommend for critics rather than offensively bad. As such, I still expect it to do well in China.

People aren’t going to see Meg 2 because of the reviews. As long as the sharks eat plenty of people, moviegoers will feel their ticket price was money well spent.

To say it "debuted" with 0% is such stupid clickbait garbage. It's 6 reviews! What a joke.

[Brainbug]

The Meg 2 is one those rare examples where a movie is truly "not for critics", i.e. "critic-proof". Its selling points are dumb big shark fun, cheasy dialogue and cool shark vs Statham action. All things most critics who see 500+ movies a year dont have patience for.

 

However, that doesnt mean its a free ride for The Meg 2 with audiences. It HAS to deliver on the dumb fun part, otherwise it will sink (pun intended).

I would be really interested to see/hear a list of films which Jason Statham passed on making. It seems like you shove a script in his face, he asks where is the contract to sign. Between Fast X, Meg 2 and Expendables 4, there’s not a crappy sequel he won’t join and his image/star power only seems to increase by making more of these types of movies. Good for him, I suppose, especially if he’s doing them just for the money while his body still permits it. He’s come a long way from the diving board, that’s for sure.

"No" is a weaker man's response. The Stathe does not know this word.

Barbie grossed $0m today (rounded down to the nearest $100m)

[MightyDargon]

I mean, "not for critics" is legit if film critics literally don't get the source (Mario) or don't care for a specific film that audiences get (Night of the Living Dead, Scrooged). Shark movies that review poorly generally aren't worth it (Jaws the Revenge is a great example) and I haven't heard anyone hyping Meg 2 like it's actually anticipated.
