64% this early is a bad sign.

 

I doubt it stays fresh.

 

 

 

It's not really that early considering it's been getting reviews for over a week and already has 36 of them at this point.

Whether it drops slightly below 60 or stays in the 60-70% zone, I think you can already get a pretty clear idea of where it's going to settle.

I expect this movie to perform like Fuqua's previous The Equalizer.

 

It opens with 40 million, then it goes on to finish with 100-110 million. 

 

I think the larger cast and PG-13 rating should help it do more than that.

[Hiccup23]

I don't see the September opening weekend record falling.

 

$35M/$95-$100M

$40m is already 16% higher than Equalizer and unlike then this won't be the first $30m+ adult skewing movie of the fall.

Chris Stuckmann gave M7 a very positive review. pretty much guarantees my enjoyment of the film. I'm not really surprised by the soft critic reception. looks like it's going to stay at 60/65% still think this will do over $45m OW. and be a hit.

Saw this weird-ass blurb on Rotten Tomatoes:

Like the best Westerns, it's also timely: A tale about a black hero and his six men who clean up a besieged town from rapacious businessmen, it feels like an unambiguously fond farewell to the Obama years.

C'mon man, isn't it obvious the lone Native American shooting flaming arrows is Bernie Sanders?

I sorta kinda feel like Sully stole some of the thunder for this (being the first major adult-targeted movie of the fall), although I'm still thinking it's good for about $35M.

The credits are only 3:24, wow. Even factoring in opening credits that's still pretty short for a high budget movie.

Shocking, really. I'm accustomed to 10 minutes for credits.

Wonder how long until we get an RT consensus. It's just shy of 50 reviews.

 

ETA: Eh, they gave it a pretty harsh consensus considering it's fresh.

The Magnificent Seven never really lives up to the superlative in its title -- or the classics from which it draws inspiration -- but remains a moderately diverting action thriller on its own merits.

 

Snowden, which has a comparable grade, has a much more positively slanted consensus. This consensus actually sounds about as harsh as the one given to Blair Witch, which is sitting at 36%.

Tracking allegedly $35m. Not good for a $90m+ Chris Pratt film with limited international appeal. (Not including P&A, I'm in US just now- it's everywhere)

 

RT consensus is "moderately diverting": ouch.

Chris Pratt film? Lol. This is really a Denzel vehicle all the way.

Reviews aren't stopping my Denzel train. 

 

Got tickets for Sat matinee. I'll at least be entertaining I'm sure, especially with The D'Onofrio.

They do that sometimes. Lots of times it changes as more reviews come in, specially when it's that negative to begin with(the original one for X-Men Apocalypse was much more damning, for example), but by then most people who are interested in it will have already read the consensus.

Equalizer opened to 35m, this has gotta do 50m I feel it.

I mean at least one review described D'Onofrio's character as some existential manbeast from an alien dimension, so there's that

I'm ready for my man Denzel doing his thing, Ethan Hawke being his charming self, Lee Buyng Hun with the same typical Asian shit that they always give him (however, me and @MrPink will take anything) and most of all, manbeast alien D'Onofrio! I am excite.

Got my tickets for Thursday previews.

 

And then after the weekend I will have to shed my avatar and sig in favor of new game. Maybe Haley Bennett just to mess with @CJohn
