Yeah sometimes it's just a movie being misrepresented or sold to the wrong audience, like Solaris or Bug (which was sold as a straight horror movie.) On the other hand I've not heard anything good about the Grudge remake.

Cinemascore is a thing I'd never heard of until the last few years when I heard a conversation in CD treating it like the end-all be-all rating thing. I definitely don't buy that if some incredible movies have gotten F ratings. But then again, this:Maxwell Lord posted:On the other hand I've not heard anything good about the Grudge remake.

The score for mother! was fantastic in its minimalism. I still want to hear the original piece that Johann Johansson wrote, but what we got in the film was a brilliantly raw version that Johansson bravely striped down to its essentials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn3ZZycD9rI And just like that, I redeemed a worthless sleeveless post.

I feel like it should be a good test for a lot of movies that they could work as a silent film.

General audience just want to be entertained and/or are dumb sacks of poo poo, so lol if you think even half of the people who watched mother got any of this. Anyway, mother was good and you making GBS threads on it for trying to be smart when the alternative is loving Endgame makes you look like a moron.

RatHat posted:Apparently they gave the Solaris remake from 2002 an F too... That's just ridiculous. You could argue whether Solaris (2002) was a good film, effective, etc. but giving it the lowest rating possible is absurdly hyperbolic, making it one of the 20 worst films made since 1986? And looking at that list, it's full of so-so or mediocre films, auteur pieces or ambitious failures, not trash : https://slate.com/culture/2017/09/here-are-the-only-19-movies-to-ever-receive-an-f-cinemascore.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CinemaScore

Cinescore has very little, if anything, to do with the quality of a film. It is for the predicted financial success of a movie and measures how well the movie lined up with its own marketing first, then quality afterwards. Mother! was advertised as a straight up horror movie and trailer spots were attached to pop-horror movies such as It. When opening weekend audiences saw the movie and learned it was more of an art film than a scary ghost movie they rejected it. Killing them Softly is another example of the marketing/audience expectations not jiving with the movies content. Moviegoers expected an intimate look into the recording of a mid-90s R&B hit but got a quiet, slow-paced crime thriller instead. When a movie doesn’t live up to or subverts the audience expectation it usually translates to poor word of mouth and lower box office returns, despite whether the movie receives critical praise or not.

Uncut Gems currently has a C+ CinemaScore and a ton of bad viewer reviews simply because audiences were apparently expecting a standard wacky Sandler comedy simply because it's a film with Adam Sandler as the lead.

It's incredibly depressing from a comedic standpoint that one of the loving Pythons decided to retreat to the "I should just declare myself a different race/gender/sexuality right here and now so I'm suddenly a victim" poo poo that was old and tired years ago.
