Looks like word of mouth is catching up to it. Reviews seem mixed (Critic love but audience indifference). 2nd Weekend drop could be brutal. {nm} VictorY Mar 09, 09:15

Your opinion differs from actual exit polling. Cinemascore is A. Postrak 4 1/2 stars, 86% from females, 80% from males. {nm} Antibody Mar 09, 09:33

68% def recommend they quote is the key stat to wom. Thats great. Its drop will be in line with other Marvel movies {nm} Moviesnob Mar 09, 09:49

68% definite recommend is great? That's a D on a test. {nm} RollingThunder Mar 09, 09:51

Anything over 50 is good. Over 60 is great. This is two thirds the audoence. Few films get that {nm} Moviesnob Mar 09, 09:57

".300 batting average is great? that gets you failed out of any school in the country" {nm} professor zovek Mar 09, 09:58

Ever try hitting a 90mph heater? Outside of the studio, there are groups that want this to do well, I get it. {nm} RollingThunder Mar 09, 10:00

Let me 100% clear. This movie is doing well because the general movie public wanted to see it and they like it a lot {nm} Moviesnob Mar 09, 10:08

And haters wanna hate. We get it. {nm} Antibody Mar 09, 10:34

Ever try getting over 50% Definite Recommend on a movie exit poll? I fell for the hype on Mary Poppins but I didn't ignore the numbers and Catzan Mar 09, 11:08

i dare Bryce Harper to try and write a screenplay {nm} professor zovek Mar 09, 13:40

You of all people should know that percentage scores on movies carry different grades than percentage scores on school tests. Jay_Beezy Mar 09, 20:45

Same happened to "Solo," pulled a high opening but completely flamed out on 2nd weekend. This feels like "Solo." 2.0. {nm} VictorY Mar 09, 10:03

Not true. Solo underperformed immediately because they failed to draw beyond the star wars fans {nm} Moviesnob Mar 09, 10:09

And in this case, its Marvel fans and still no expansion of audience thru word of mouth. You see my point. Heard all this from "Solo" before {nm} VictorY Mar 09, 10:16

Heard what about solo? you are one person. I'm talking about exit polls. Marvel fans are about half of captian Marvel's audience. {nm} Moviesnob Mar 09, 10:21

IMDB has CM's rating down to 6.8 and the reviews seem legit there.. (Rotten Tomatoes low, but probably not accurate). Its a "meh" film. {nm} VictorY Mar 09, 10:23

IMDb is opt in polling and subject to review bombing. I'm talking about scientific polling that can calculate a margin of error {nm} Moviesnob Mar 09, 10:25

The featured review on IMDB says its nothing to Marvel at. (pardon the pun). Other reviews say same story problems. I'm seeing a pattern {nm} VictorY Mar 09, 10:29

That you're willfully ignorant? Theres one reality here and it's in the data {nm} Moviesnob Mar 09, 10:35

Data aside, I loved it. I’m gonna go back next weekend. {nm} eternal warrior Mar 10, 14:06

Stopped clock box office analysis. {nm} RogerMore Mar 09, 10:10

I know nothing about Marvel movies anymore, and I can say clearly this feels nothing like Solo. You had true Star Wars burnout with Solo. goodvibe61 Mar 09, 10:38

It wasn't just SW burnout that bombed Solo. Jay_Beezy Mar 10, 10:37

The third will not do as well?...however, the numerical evidence indicates it will follow the same pattern as the previous third films. {nm} Catzan Mar 10, 21:03

It just like Solo, except people are enjoying it and feeling inspired to tell their communities on social media to see it. tatoufan Mar 09, 10:52

I haven't seen it yet but albrown Mar 09, 12:27

it looks like for everything I hear from those around me that have its a better movie than Solo {nm} albrown Mar 09, 12:28

Word of mouth has been stellar (for good reason) -- quit showing your butt, it's unbecoming. {nm} MiyazakiFan Mar 09, 15:28

Wow! I like my crow my fried. {nm} McNavia Mar 09, 14:50
