Well you should have walked out and thrown yourself over a bridge. I bet the crowd coming in would pity you after hearing about your story.
Are you fucking serious?

expected. it's going to sleepwalk into a billion worldwide, even with a huge drop next week.
So you pulled one guy? And him framing his negative review as "hopefully people turn their back on bad filmmaking" is somehow out of bounds for a critic to say/think? You seriously think he's crying in the corner somewhere because that isnt' happening?
"That RT you all seem to like" is just stupid, too. You don't even know who you're addressing with that. You're just shooting shit off.
Jesus, almost $200 million in a single weekend? Very well deserved for BvS. I loved it.
No silly. Your getting a remake of Seven Samurai.So that's it, then. We're really getting Zack Snyder's Justice League in 18 months and there's nothing we can do about it.

Nothing surprises me anymore. My issue is with the pity comment and I could have picked other peoples comments in this thread, so don't take too much offense that I picked yours. It was just right there.Would it actually surprise you that I like Pacific Rim?
Hasn't it been shown that CinemaScore means just about dick? I'm asking seriously here.
Uh, well then.Well you should have walked out and thrown yourself over a bridge. I bet the crowd coming in would pity you after hearing about your story.
You said they didn't care, and they obviously do.
And yes, RT is quite popular with you and others, which can also be factually proven by the length and the amount of post that thread on BvS score has and how many belong to you.
The haters here are like the same ones that shit in every Pacific Rim thread. You just can't let others enjoy something or let something have success when your personal opinion needs to Trump all. Gets so annoying and old. Opinions are fine, but the hyperbole and hate expressed is just shit.
JadedWriter - "I had no fun, therefore I pity them."
I don't even have to search far for something. Really? Pity people that may have actually enjoyed something? Really? Gawddamn.

No, I said they're not crying in a corner somewhere. Because they're not. It was a stupid thing to say.

I didn't even say it to them directly. I was done with the movie, annoyed from it cause it could've been good, it just wasn't...to me. These were people that paid money for this movie hoping to have a good time and I was quite sure the tone of the movie would just depress them. I liked parts of it don't get me wrong, but man... And Adam Sandler at least has Punch Drunk Love.Nothing surprises me anymore. My issue is with the pity comment and I could have picked other peoples comments in this thread, so don't take too much offense that I picked yours. It was just right there.
When it comes to entertainment, I feel it is best to let people enjoy what they enjoy. I don't enjoy Adam Sandler or his movies, but there are those that do, let them have their fun. Doesn't hurt anyone and just makes some people really rich in the end.
No, I said they're not crying in a corner somewhere. Because they're not. It was a stupid thing to say.

I can understand Age of Ultron and TDKRAge of Ultron got an A? Bahahahahaha
Edit: TDKR too? What in the fuck.
Oh my, so now I can't make an allegory to the critics being displeased with it with some hyperbolic statement? Get over yourself cause you clearly understood what I meant.
You love throwing the word stupid around while acting as dense as a rock.
Shit. BvS got a lower score than AOE? Bruh
Damn Alice in Wonderland made a billion? Lol!

All is right with the worldCinemascores are basically good for laughs. All three Star Wars prequels got an A-. Inception got a B+
I can understand Age of Ultron and TDKR
I don't understand Age of Extinction and Alice in Wonderland getting A's
I think any movie with an inconclusive ending is automatically going to get lowered a notch in the Cinemascore like Inception, just how audience reactions work.Cinemascores are basically good for laughs. All three Star Wars prequels got an A-. Inception got a B+
Worldwide Updates:
Deadpool - $746M - New WW record for a film that carried the MPAA R rating. Less than $2M to go before it beats DOFP.
The Revenant - $506M
Kung Fu Panda 3 - $432M
All is right with the world
As far as I'm aware CinemaScore has nothing to do with critical ratings, but rather to do with audience reception.
A movie could get trashed by critics but still have a high CinemaScore if its viewers generally enjoyed it.
All four Chimpmunks films had equal or better cinemascores than Mad Max Fury Road (3 had better scores).

RT is not quite popular with me. That thread is huge for reasons that have not much at all to do with the actual RT score, or even the reviews contained within it. And if you want to check post histories, I'm certain you can dig up more than a few posts of mine that argue against the way people hang on (and misuse) that site to formulate their messageboard arguments.
They did. The film grossed over $300 million in China, that's what saved it. BvS is currently doing comparable numbers to Ant-Man over there.
I'm sure your theories about the toxicity of the RT score and BO returns brought about sanity inside the madhouse of that thread instead of piling on more inane thoughts.

Why would I need to "get over myself" when pointing out you said something dumb causes this sort of reaction in you?
Here's the thing: I understand what you mean, which is why I can fuck with it like I'm doing. There's no misunderstanding here: You're setting up a narrative in which there's a group of people both on the film critic side of things, and on the fan side of things, who have a lot personally invested in the film not doing well at the box office, and then reacting poorly and in a spiteful, hateful manner at their efforts being thwarted.
This is a fantasy scenario. It's a bullshit appeal to populism that carries almost no weight, and has not much basis in reality outside of very tiny, very outlandish minority examples from people who have more or less substituted the sort of rooting mentality you find in sports for pop-culture concerns.
You're attempting to suggest there are large, large groups of people who are throwing a tantrum at their false intellectual/aesthetic superiority being flouted thoroughly and rudely by a populace who cares nothing for their pretensions towards artistic fulfillment. You're putting forward a tired fantasy scenario in which the will of the people will always triumph over the cultural gatekeepers who swear they know best and are almost always wrong and are nursing their thumbs like Prince John in Disney's Robin Hood.
It's not happening, though. That's not a thing that's happening.
The box-office has almost nothing to do with critical consensus on opening weekend. Hasn't for a very long time now. Pretty much everyone knows it.
That's a pretty broad brushstroke and there are certainly critics that deviate from this, but having spent a lot of time with professional music journalists, they are mostly fucks who like to bitch about pop music while cutting themselves to whatever Sufjan Stevens wrote about a dying parent.
It's not likely, but it's not impossible. HP7.2 dropped 72% with the exact same opening weekend. And that one, while a much more limited audience, had a great RT score and good WOM.
