Look to your right lol.

Well, I feel silly now.

 

[BigDug13]

Hah, that's actually right where a lot of the reviews were. The RT % is often misunderstood as being a score average, when it's basically how many reviewers recommend a film, not the intensity of that recommendation.

RT is basically an "At the Movies" site that aggregates the "thumbs up or thumbs down" of critics doing their best Siskel and Ebert impression.

The review scores are based on the review system of that old Siskel and Ebert TV show. They either like the movie or don't.

OH SHIT we got a Chalkboard.

Wow movie drop harder than joker into the chemical pool 😮

I heard Suicide Squad is getting reshoots to 'add humour.'

Some fun with numbers. Here are the Superhero films with big drops/or toxic reception that initially opened over $50M domestic. I have also included Deathly Hallows 2 and 50 Shades for fun since they have the two worst 2nd week drops in the $50M+ opener club.

Movie			2nd wkd drop			3rd wkd drop		4th wkd drop		Second Wkd New Film Competition
Deathly Hallows 2	72.0% (62% w/o midnights)	53.7%			43.4%			Captain America - $65M
Spider-Man 3		61.5%				50.1%			50.6%			Nothing over $10M
Man of Steel		64.6%				49.8%			45.0% (4th of Jul)	Monsters U + WWZ - close to $150M combined
X-Men Last Stand	66.9%				52.7%			51.4%			The Break Up - $39M
Amazing Spider-Man 2	61.2%				52.7%			53.4%			Neighbors - $49M
X-Men: DOFP		64.2%				53.4%			35.2%			Maleficent - $69M
Fifty Shades of Grey	73.9%				52.6%			47.7%			Highest opener was $11M
XM Origins Wolverine	69.0%				44.3%			45.1%			Star Trek 09 - $75M
Hulk (2003)		69.7%				56.3%			55.4%			Charlie's Angels 2 - $37M
Watchmen 		67.7%				61.8%			59.8%			Race to Witch Mount. - $24M	
Green Lantern 		66.1%				63.6%			52.0%			Transformers 3 - $97M ($162M 5-day)	
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Batman v Superman 	68.4% est (62% w/o midnights)							Highest opener was $8M

Quoting myself to talk about the list on a new page.

I don't think it is controversial to suggest that a film with BvS' reception is probably looking at drops in the 50%+ range over the next two weekends. Especially with The Jungle Book stealing all of the IMAX/PLF screens in two weeks.

I also think that this weekend is overpredicted and will be down to something between $50-51M tomorrow. We'll say $51M for argument's sake.


My prediction for Batman v Superman's next two weekend total:

Third weekend: $23M (-55%)
Fourth weekend: $11M (-53%)


BvS if it gets Watchmen holds:

Third weekend: $19.5M
Fourth weekend: $7.75M


Finally Zootopia with 25% drops:

Third weekend: $15M
Fourth weekend: $11.25M

Runour has long since been debunked.

Because Modbot couldn't handle the true shipping of the universe.

 

[Chamber]

Frick yourself, friend. You put BvS and it's subtitle on two lines to make it look worse!

 

[Cheebo]

This is incredible.

 

[Toothless]

Very impressive for both Zootopia and Cloverfield. Good movies do well, shocker.

Also, for y'all interested, the Summer Box Office Game is up. Feel free to predict your stuff... please

Creepy Batpregnancy images with Kevin Feige watching from orbit.

lol..Nah!

Creepy Batpregnancy images with Kevin Feige watching from orbit.

To be fair, I'd wanna put a stop to that shit too..

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Creepy Batpregnancy images with Kevin Feige watching from orbit.

However, the poster who starts every single box-office thread has an admin-applied usertag discussing the DRENCHING of people in PRE-CUM.

So...

(The image 'shopping got out of hand, and mods were super-busy at that time with, yunno, a whole forum worth of knuckleheads, and there was a redundant thread that didn't have weird joke images boiling over. Ghaleon's been nice about this once already. We should probably stick to discussing this amazing nosedive, and Zootopia's ridiculous run)

OH: Cloverfield passed 60mil domestic this weekend!

Well taking a look at that GamerGate-esque insanity that is #SupportDCFilms apparently GAF has earned its place as an enemy of this "movement".

Well taking a look at that GamerGate-esque insanity that is #SupportDCFilms apparently GAF has earned its place as an enemy of this "movement".

This is a fake, right?

 

[Rabid-Coot]

A live action remake like Disney has been doing to their properties for a while now.

One day...

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

One day...

That's one big rabbit.

 

[ReiGun]

Well taking a look at that GamerGate-esque insanity that is #SupportDCFilms apparently GAF has earned its place as an enemy of this "movement".

Pretty sure that was made in one of the 409 BvS threads here.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

That hashtag makes Prequel Apologism look sane.

 

[Prompto]

Well taking a look at that GamerGate-esque insanity that is #SupportDCFilms apparently GAF has earned its place as an enemy of this "movement".

Wasn't that made in Gaf? I could've sworn someone made it in the rottentomatoes thread as a joke.
That's hilarious if people are posting it and taking it seriously on twitter now.

 

[Cheebo]

This is a fake, right?

I saw it posted multiple times under the hashtag by those who are tweeting in support of this so-called movement, so they seem earnest in posting the image. Even i f it started a joke here, they seemed to co-opt it?

 

[BronsonLee]

What the fuck

 

[Thewonandonly]

Fox isn't marketing it very well so far.

That's what I've been thinking in. the x men franchise have been getting slept in because they are easily some of the best super hero movies to date.

 

[TheSeks]

Wow it's sad that the only film critics love that made bank in the box office (read: isn't part of Xaos' - - - - - - skipping) is a furry film. :/

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Oh shit.
Its real and they want to make #JeSuisMartha a thing.

Heh. Fight that fight, homie..

[Discotheque]

Shit marketing but singer xmen flicks are really good for sure imo. With Nolan and Raimi gone he's the last one of the old gawds that is still going strong on it

 

[Cheebo]

It does, but I dread what would have been online if Twitter was around in the height of the TPM backlash. Wouldn't have been pretty.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Nerds can be so pathetic.

 

[ReiGun]

Fox isn't marketing it very well so far.

Fox can't market an X-Men film to save their lives. Deadpool was very much the exception.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe.

https://twitter.com/hashtag/JeSuisMartha?src=hash

Oh I was on message boards at the time as well, but full blown social networking on the scale of Twitter? Would be 10000x worse.

to be fair, Raimi was BOOTED.

I for one cannot believe the stinger of the trailer is McAvoy with a shaved head.

Of course it is. Those cats went out of their way to push that movie. Kudos to them, taking a virtually unknown, and taking him down everyone's throats..with UNBELIEVABLE success. I have no doubt they're touching themselves..

Nope.

He got a ton of shit for posting that too

I've admired games and films that have definitely gone against the broader critical consensus, but this is something else.
