What percentage of moviegoers go see a movie based entirely on reviews? {nm}

It's entirely possible that the reviews of SUICD are more entertaining than the film itself, but lesana Aug 04, 13:17

The Independent Movie Database website (IMDb.com) has a 7.6 rating. I do not know but that sounds pretty good. {nm} goodtimes92618 Aug 04, 13:22

Fanboys usually inflate scores. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 04, 13:24

Yes, it's a pretty safe assumption 18,000+ people that have rated it already haven't seen it the afternoon of opening. {nm} notfabio Aug 04, 13:34

imdb user ratings are unreliable. Fanboys who haven't seen the movie are giving it 10s. {nm} Antibody Aug 04, 13:27

Didn't SUICD have a 9.9 earlier this week? {nm} Jay_Beezy Aug 04, 13:34

Close, 9.5 on Aug 1 Antibody Aug 04, 13:36

The I in IMDb is for internet. {nm} RogerMore Aug 04, 13:32

I think the Ghostbusters ratings established IMDB ratings are overwhelmed by fanboys, especially pre-release {nm} JDolphin Aug 04, 14:07

It goes up with the age of moviegoers. {nm} Antibody Aug 04, 13:30

Interesting. The only reviews I've ever read have been on this movie board. Good or bad, I still see the Movie. {nm} pennystocks2 Aug 04, 13:33

Reviews are opinions. I like to form my own. Some movies with bad reviews have been great. {nm} pennystocks2 Aug 04, 13:35

Well, sometimes bad reviews encourage me to form my own opinion by watching it on DVD. {nm} RogerMore Aug 04, 14:04

Isn't America Great. Freedom of choice. Good for you RM. {nm} one_cent_girl Aug 04, 14:38

i bet thats more regional. I'm 62 and the only previews i care about are trailers. NYC born, raised and still here. tradermark Aug 04, 17:46

I don't know why it would be regional. And for moviegoers, old is above 25. There's room for difference obviously, but on average older RogerMore Aug 04, 20:50

I read reviews after watching a movie :) {nm} tealfan Aug 04, 19:42
