And voting accordingly...it's like they were fanboys and fangirls for that movie type/slant and the movie met their needs...

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

The Boondock Saints - 71% difference RazorHawk Aug 15, 13:57

Pre-Internet (1986) {nm} Antibody Aug 15, 13:59

Grandma's Boy - 69% difference RazorHawk Aug 15, 14:00

I'd look at movies where critics and audience want different things from the movie - especially movies made outside the Hollywood system RogerMore Aug 15, 13:54

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

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
