Skarsgard, Wolfhard and Lillis getting the best notices as expected. Also Lieberher getting some shine he didn't in early reactions.

Plus the reactions from the social media embargo were universally positive 

That is true.

 

Let this WB review thing be a lesson to us all when November hits and JL is on the verge of coming out. Good or bad that movie's reviews are not going to be coming out two weeks ahead of time.

If they don't have a social media embargo like they did for Wonder Woman, Dunkirk and It. Then we might have to worry. But November is still 3 months away

9 reviews in on RT all fresh, at least that's what mine is showing

The only negative review I've seen so far is the AP

He had his trusty embargo theory. I'm sure it'll be there by tomorrow. Forget tomato law there's embargo law.

Why did Warners wait til 2am to lift the embargo? Most of these reviews are fine.

 

Same reason they lifted Annabelle's embargo 2 months early but waited till week of release for Dunkirk and Wonder Woman. Who the fuck knows

[somebody85]

Well if this was the final marketing punch as many expected then it's a good one. Seems like it's going to end up pretty high on RT. The Top Critics from Metacritic are all being added now. Shouldn't be long until we see a score.

[Steele131]

Here comes a 100M+ opening 

[somebody85]

AV-Club - B
Newark Star-Ledger - 3.5/4
Total Film - 4/5
Screen Rant - Largely Positive
Mashable - Positive

I agree with you there, a social media embargo would be worrisome.

 

Thinking about upping my prediction to 88mil.

(Why are the Village Voice's reviews always so goddamn edgy?)

[Rman823]

18/0 on RT with an 8/10 average rating. Get ready for those certified fresh tv spots as tomato law makes its gracious return.

And we officially start at 100% on RT!

They are not going to know if the reviews are positive or negative until after the embargo is lifted.

 

That's why the embargo is there, so the public don't get advance warning from RT that they are about to pay to see a pile of poo.

AB2 had early screenings at film festivals months prior similar to Baby Driver

It was tracking at 60-70M before these reviews. And tracking is usually off. Especially for event type films like this that get good reviews 

[somebody85]

Sweet! I'm so stoked

[Krissykins]

I can only hope with Annabelle, Conjuring and now IT, WB start looking to revive Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th (when they get the rights back). 

 

I'm dying to see a slasher film in cinemas again. Hopefully Halloween is big in October 2018.
