Really hate this discourse anytime critics don’t like a movie. In the VAST MAJORITY of cases critics and audiences agree. A quick skim through RT shows this. They just didn’t like the movie you are dead set on loving no matter what. And that’s the difference between the two.
CRITICS JUST KILLED SCARY MOVIE 6 AND NOBODY CARES
The Wayans brought back the OG cast after 13 years and critics buried it in the low 20s on Rotten Tomatoes, calling the humor "stuck in the 2000s".
The audience response: buying tickets faster.
- It opened lower than prediction markets bet on - they expected low-30s, it landed in the low 20s
- Scary Movie 2 scored 13% and still became a cult classic
- It is tracking for a $45-50M opening - the biggest debut in franchise history
- That beats a $200M He-Man blockbuster opening the same weekend at a third of that
A bad Rotten Tomatoes score used to end a movie. Now it's the best marketing money can't buy.
