You ain't lying about the ad campaign. I Googled barbie movie to check the imdb rating and the search page on my phone screen turned pink and started flashing pink fireworks .

Saw this this morning while downloading Flash and was rather surprised by it's very early release.

Universal just dumped this one after making millions on Super Mario Bros. Zero marketing whatsoever . 😭

The fact is IMDb is a better movie aggregator than rotten tomatoes😏, the only thing rotten tomatoes does well is it's audience ratingsπŸ˜’

Not million, equivalent to a billion

I'm well aware of its box office collection. $1.3bn is never going back to the studio's pockets. They must pay marketers, distributors and cinema owners take their own cut.

Domestic is shared 50/50 between theatre owners and studio. International is 40/60 with the largest share going to the theatre owners. China, you're ONLY getting 25% as the studio. So if your movie make $1bn over there, you're only getting $250mn.

* Domestic and international slightly have a different quota system between individual studios tho, depending on the project and the studio's leverage power. Still that's the Industry standard for BO collection.

Lmao.... Premium Cap!!

IMDB can't lace RT shoes. I don't take audience scores really serious as they've proven to be very unreliable and crappy without nuance. RT is the number one industry player in terms of review aggregators.

If IMDb was top dog, ppl won't be crying about RT scores when their fave movies or shows was given crappy scores.

It's slightly on TV shows I know IMDb is significantly relevant and that's mostly because some shows RT don't cover them or they don't update the scores for some shows with long running seasons.

Yeah, the story is familiar and I mean in the IP sense. If the delivery is great it could be refreshing. They clearly got their CGI and visuals right.

Lol, na person you dey downgrade cos of him papa?? grin grin Dem don plenty for this generation of fresh actors like Lily Rose Depp. cheesy
lol no mind me grin grin. I feel having a parent that is big wig in certain industry will most likely create a very soft landing should thier offspring enter such industry. I believe filmmakers are casting him as a "favour" to Denzel, rather than him having actual stellar talents.

If you deep it, Nepotism might take someone farther than actual talent 😌😌

IMDB ratings are more accurate for me.
In every art field, you've got those so-called professional critics - you know, the nerdy weirdos with their otherworldly interpretations. They'd call a banana taped to a wall a stroke of genius, or grass on stone the ultimate cuisine, or an avant-garde album consisting of random household sounds the future of music, or a book with pages filled entirely with the letter "A" a profound exploration of the human condition, or clothes made entirely of garbage bags groundbreaking eco-fashion.

When it comes to movies, I'm all about the audience rating. Critics might go gaga over some artsy flick with no plot, while we just want a good story and some entertainment. Sometimes, the movies that rock our world get panned by critics. Cinema's meant to connect with the people watching it, not just win over the snooty critics. So, give me the audience's take any day! And it's not just movies - in music, literature, fashion, architecture, and even dance, the audience's perspective often speaks volumes more than those critics with their quirky tastes.

Where you hear that one??

The last I heard yesterday in China release was that China haven't given greenlight yet and seem not to.

But Nolan films performs strong in China. He has huge fanbase there. Funny thing is Universal have been promoting the film there for some months. That's the funny thing with China, you fit promote film finish for there make dem no give you license. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
They did that to Disney and WB last year and this year. Upon all the money wey WB spend on top Black Adam marketing over there, dem knack am ban. grin grin

Lol, that thing no dey reduce that low.
The worst I see is around 86.

It's over 100 critics review by now.... That already gives a general overview of final score.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UC23HuCIwY


I don't really take all these YouTubers reviewers serious. I don't even watch any crap they have to say. Most of them are basically fans with YouTube accounts talking about their opinions or feelings about a film not really a professional critic.
The only time I remember watching a YouTuber review was for The Last of Us th show. I kinda stumbled upon it sef and wanted to know the early feelings about the show.


I'm not saying critics don't make stupid statements or opinions at times, or make things political. I'm saying I mostly trust them than audience scores. Also, I don't base my watching on what they say unless from a trusted source.
When I rely on Audience score is when trying to gain the enjoyment level or entertainment value of a project to audiences.
That's where I demarcate the difference. You might like something or enjoy it and it might still be trash.
So I trust critics more cos they have lesser attachment to a film. They're more robotic and look at the technical aspects and more prone to give you as it is.



Different strokes for different folks. You hate them. I don't.

Him and Lily Rose Depp dey the same train. I didn't even know what she actually looked like until HBO's The Idol. πŸ˜‚

Hollywood has always been entrenched in Nepotism for a very long time, even in the Golden Age.

Queen mother of the Nepo babies cheesy. Her dad literally put her on the map by casting her as an infant in one of the greatest movies of all time cheesy.


But she has grown into her own as a filmmaker. I have particularly enjoyed "Lost in Translation", The Beguiled" and "On the Rocks".
