Seriously, I thought 80m was the best case scenario but apparently there is a untapped interest in Beetlejuice It seems Tim Burton’s style in general still resonates with a lot of people, especially now that he’s found a new talent in Jenna Ortega. I believe I’ve said before that I never really cared for his work, or his whole “misunderstood weirdo” shtick, but there’s clearly an audience for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 This won't save Cinemas because IO2 and D&W already saved them. I just hope Beetlejuice will be good and not just nostalgia bait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the man who coined the phrase "nostalgic toy commercial", I have the final say on whether Inside Out 2 and Deadpool 3 are nostalgia bait. The answer...is yes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Barbie and Oppenheimer saved last year, right after Avatar 2 and Top Gun saved them too, which, funny enough, also came after No Way Home saved them as well…. Insane how theaters are being saved for 4 years straight and yet they’re always needing another savior lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 The average is quite low … but being honest, this will probably go up once less demanding writers see it, instead of keep falling like the usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinema pal Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Well, we have RT score, but now it stuck at forty reviews)) The last one dated August 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I'm just glad it's not 39 and people aren't complaining anymore. There'll be more coming in soon. Venice is basically the only place this has screened so far, stateside critics still haven't seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it is Tuesday of release week and the early reviews point to it not being anything WB should hold a embargo on or screen it for regular JO Blo critics any longer.

AniNate Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Many local critics do intentionally hold off publishing their reviews until close to the weekend when more readers are looking to make immediate plans. They're not looking to grab general industry followers like the trades are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
