Movies

I'd look at movies where critics and audience want different things from the movie - especially movies made outside the Hollywood system

Posted by: RogerMore on Aug 15, 13:54 in response to lobogotti's post thinking about films that didn't connect with critics but...

eg faith based films: God's Not Dead - 15% Fresh, 77% liked it. Courageous 30% Fresh, 86% liked it

and conservative movies - eg Hillary's America - 4% fresh, 83% liked it (I think this takes the prize) Atlas Shrugged - 10% fresh, 69% liked it

Tyler Perry movies - eg Madea Family Reunion, 25% Fresh, 84% liked it

thinking about films that didn't connect with critics but did with audience (or vice versa). if anyone has the time lobogotti Aug 15, 13:36

Super Troopers - 55% (difference) lobogotti Aug 15, 13:36

Christmas With The Kranks...but only a 31% difference Catzan Aug 15, 13:46

Because I Said So at a 61% difference. Catzan Aug 15, 13:50

NO. One of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life--and when I saw it, I was only 15. That was 11 years ago. TERRIBLE film. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Aug 15, 22:05

Madea's Family Reunion - 59% difference reelreptile Aug 15, 13:47

Rad - 91% difference RazorHawk Aug 15, 13:51

Hillary 79% - but that's gotta be some self-selection... {nm} TwoMisfits Aug 15, 13:54

or the people who paid to see it are just really dumb {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 15, 14:04

I prefer to think of it as knowingly seeing what makes them happy... TwoMisfits Aug 15, 14:18

There are a couple of faults to something like this johnnyb588 Aug 15, 15:37

Sorry, wasn't meaning for that to be a direct reply to you, TwoMisfits {nm} johnnyb588 Aug 15, 15:46

some good stuff in there... thanks for the feedback folks {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 13:56

Wasn't "The Iron Giant" really well-received, but a poor BO result? {nm} second gary Aug 15, 19:14

Large %'s to be expected on films with narrow target market (Hillary, Rad, anything Tyler Perry). What's the largest gross with a 50%+ dif? {nm} PhoneHome Aug 15, 14:59
