reviews won't harm the scarley o'hara effect for the fanboys and girls... Its the Gone With the Wind buzz for the comicbook generation

Reviews do hurt - it's gonna keep the top-end down and kill legs...

It will hurt legs for sure, like BvS, but opening weekend will still be huge. Hold long and sell the adjust

Opening day will be solid, but can drop off the following day. It'll still grab the August record, though.

+1, word travels too fast. Between now and Thursday, and after Thursday until Sunday are the buzz pockets. And now is helping decide later.

The only reviews that will count will be the theater goers. If Harley or the Joker performances approach

The responses I've seen to some is defensive and accuse the reviewers of not understanding the comics. Tickets bought in defiance.

Reviews won't affect opening day, but films can drop off on Saturday as word gets out on the Friday they don't live up to expectations.

Also, expectations are more than "is it a good movie?". It's often about "does the movie live up to its marketing?" (spoiler spec)

Seems like about double what 9 Lives will actually do. Tops.
