How are they going to explain a 90+ percent critic rating with a <30% audience rating? The collusion and paid shilling is so fucking obvious.

By completely ignoring it. Thankfully I deem them fucking worthless too and look at the audience reaction more than them or a fella like Brad or those two hack-frauds if I'm not sure if a movie is totally worth seeing in theater.

If it's lucky. Secret Lives of Pets is surprisingly a massive hit (already cleared $100m since it opened this weekend plus Finding Dory is close)

Animated family films very rarely suffer a fall of more than 50% after it's first weekend (Finding Dory for example only fell 46%) so I'd say Ghostbusters will need to clear 50 million this weekend to reach number one. It's still possible though, I think the numbers for this film's opening weekend are going to be higher than they're predicted to be.
 
Also on another thread, it was pointed out that China has banned this movie because it doesn't allow movies that depict ghost as supernatural beings rather than some mass hallucination (like what the EPA guy argued to the mayor in the original) as their culture considers it disrespectful. So that market won't save this movie.

What's the consensus here about the reboot? Great opening week, then flop because it's awful?

That's what the assumption is, at least. I mean I'm not going to see it.

Then again, most of the hype stems from either SJWs, that whole debacle with James Rolfe, or fans of the franchise going "This is going to suck haaaaaaaard." So I don't expect word of mouth to be all that hot either. Not from what we've seen either from the trailers or the people "reacting" to them.

I don't normally pay attention to the path of movie reviews and stuff, if that makes any sense. Is the whole review debacle thing here normal or is an exceptional clusterfuck? Cuz the latter is what it feels like to an outsider like me.

Usually depends on the movie, films like Fan4stic the year before or Revenge of the Fallen back in '09 had similar responses, though not to the same extent as this. So in a way, it's both, an anomaly and at the same time, normal.

Secret Live of Pets was pretty good. Finding Dory was fine, but nowhere as good as the original.

Me either, I'm just surprised this many people are up in arms about it. I shouldn't be though. Hollywood has been out of original ideas for a long time, so it's either yet another comic book movie, or remake classic action/horror/comedies.

This could potentially fuck the film over more than any bad reviews in the States. Most big Hollywood films are dependent on China's massive theater market to make a profit, that's why even a film that does only mediocre in the States can still get a sequel greenlit.

So much this. When it comes to the big tentpoles if you can't hit China why even bother making it these days?

Also - just spitballing, put me straight if I'm wrong - China could also probably give less than two shits about equal representation of sexes, races and creeds in movies. They're their own country, they have their own baggage, and all that.

So as long as that money well doesn't run dry, I see no incentive for big studios to change things up.

It's gonna end poorly for studios in the long run, make no mistake.

Wow... just. Wow. So this movie was badly thought out in almost every way possible.
 
Oh my fucking god.
