For those of you here who don’t know what CinemaScore is, it is a company who polls audiences who go to see a movie on opening weekend and they ask those audiences what they thought of a film. This is not a critical score. This is not a review. This is the average of what the audiences who saw the film on its opening weekend felt about the film.

idgaf at this point. Gaga slayed and WILL be getting an Oscar nom...

ngl, even in my wildest & most pessimistic expectations, I didn't see this kind of reaction coming

Oh this is gonna bomb. That’s the lowest CinemaScore for a comic book movie ever. 

For those of you here who don’t know what CinemaScore is, it is a company who polls audiences who go to see a movie on opening weekend and they ask those audiences what they thought of a film. This is not a critical score. This is not a review. This is the average of what the audiences who saw the film on its opening weekend felt about the film.

Though not always, CinemaScore is usually the best indication for what a movie box office prospects are. The higher the cinema score for a blockbuster, the more likely that blockbuster is to make a lot of money. This is essentially the indicator for what the movie’s word-of-mouth is going to be.

For most genres other than horror for a CinemaScore to be considered good it would need to be a B+ or higher. Blockbusters should ever slip below B+ hopes to really be a breakout hit. Some have managed to do it but very few and far between.

For a tentpole IP blockbuster to get a D that means the audience had to really hate it. And keep in mind, this is opening weekend audience so this wanted to be there opening weekend. They WANTED to see this. They were excited for it. 

I honestly think a lot of this has to do with how deceptively this movie was marketed. I don’t think audiences were going to love it regardless because this plot is really aggressively not what anybody wanted and has stuff people were going to hate no matter what, but the marketing straight up lied about what this movie is and it’s pissing people off.

It's not just "comic fans" giving it this rating. CinemaScore polls audiences who attend films opening weekend and asks them to grade a film according to how they felt about it.

It’s better than Suicide Squad for sure. However it is roughly on par with BvS imo. 

But remember cinema score is not like a critical review. It is also not solely this parabolas scary “comic book fan” rating it. It’s all audiences, fans and GP alike. 

These letter grades are not meant indicative of a films quality. It’s indicative of how the audience felt about it. They’re not saying that this movie is better than movies that got a lower score than a D or worse than movies that got a higher score than a D, they’re saying that the audience is who saw this film on opening weekend, when their opinions were averaged, is reflected in this letter score. 

This is the scorecard that audiences fill out. As you can see it collects a lot of info, it’s not simply thumhs up or down.

Al that to say, we cannot blame this all on the comic book fans. They alone are not capable of giving a film a D on Cinema score. If they were then the two movies you mentioned above would have a worse cinema score than they do. For it to be this low the general public also had to hate it.

I still feel if the movie had an actual plot was + was edited / structured properly, the musical numbers would've been appreciated. If we got a bonny/clyde type of plot where they're abstracting reality and singing together (think 911 MV) + ending on a high note like the OG film, the critics/audiences would've eaten that up
