"Want to See" Rating for NPC-Fave Captain Marvel Plunges to 28%, So Rotten Tomatoes... Deletes The Entire Want-To-See Score From Every Movie On Its Site as a Favor to NPCs and Disney

The "Want to See" score is just what it sounds like -- a rating of whether people are or are not interested in seeing a movie.

Captain Marvel is pushing SJW identity politics, and "star," the flat-assed Resting Bitch Face block of wood Brie Larson can't stop talking about how much she disdains White Men.

So the "Want to See" score has dropped a lot in the last few weeks.

But don't worry -- Rotten Tomatoes' cowardly leaders are ready to be A HERO for Disney and nuke the rating from orbit.

I hear that this Doctor was one of the feminists complaining to Rotten Tomatoes:

Incidentally: Rotten Tomatoes is not only censoring votes of disinterest in Captain Marvel, they're also censoring people complaining about their censorship -- Ethan Van Sciver says they've removed a lot of comments on their announcement about disabling the Want To See score.

Gotta stop those "Russian bots," you know. (Russian Bots are defined as anyone challenging the NPC SJW "intersectional" religion of racism and sexism.)





It's beginning to look a lot like Ghostbusters...

16 Excellent objectivity. I am actually very *very* surprised they did this. If I were in their shoes and wanting to go to this dance, I'd just go into the database and change the numbers to be close to 50/50. Maybe schedule it to take 3-4 days to creep up so it looks organic.

Pulling it altogether is pretty damn obvious. Surprisingly obvious.

That's a much smaller cohort than many believe.

Marvel is mass appeal, and the comics crowd is a very small slice of that. I doubt that means a roughly $30 million difference in ticket sales.

Even without bribing critics, Disney must be spending the wealth of Croesus on this flop.

Why? I mean, really? Even if it was set to be moderately successful, it wouldn't be worth this kind of promotional budget.

This has simply got to be a favor for someone, somewhere. At this point, anyone making a business-oriented decision would just stop the bleeding, release this turkey, and let it die a quick death.

It might not, but there is something else to consider. When Disney handed Star Wars off to a shit midas, "The Last Jedi" and "Solo" didn't hit their numbers - and they didn't have much if any of the pre-release excoriation that Captain Marvel has gotten (Solo definitely had some). If the opening weekend isn't so great, it isn't the gamer/comic fan types who did it, and that's a good thing.

If the opener is way off, then it implies that it was more general than that, which is hopefully true.

==============

They'll probably end with about $250 million in American and double that overseas for an end of $750 million (that's my guess). Far from the biggest, but around Dr. Strange territory.

Marketing is generally double production, so $300 million there.

Theaters take, on average, about 40%.

So, in order for Disney to turn a profit, they need Captain Marvel to make $500 million total.

They'll most likely make a good profit on it.

Le sigh...

67 8 The movie's still gonna make 9 digits in its first weekend.

I'm not so sure about that. The lead up to Black Panther was somewhat cringe inducing but the virtue signaling ("I have to see the movie which stars the first black superhero or I'm racist" see also, the Story of Obama)) overcame the potential drawbacks, plus word of mouth that the movie wasn't terrible probably helped for those who also wished to virtue signal but weren't sure if they could endure a shitty movie. The movie itself wasn't a PC-fest, just some of the actors involved. Captain Marvel looks very much like a crap movie and a virtue signaling shit storm (powerful woman ROAR see also "HIllary Clinton") and I suspect you won't see the same crowds you'd see at an Avengers movie. I suspect you'll get an Antman-esque box office, or less. It won't lose money but I'd love to see it end up the lowest grossing Marvel movie, if for no other reason than to give the finger to social justice marvel.

69 Disney sure has went to Hell since its founder died. I am currently reading Mary Poppins and so far it follows along fairly close to what Disney put in the movie. He did drop some of the sketches in the movie but that was probably due to time constrains.

But few of the Disney movies that have been put out in the last few years have been good. Most of the ones done by another studio and then released by Disney have been OK. Second Hand Lions come to mind on that, it was great movie.

Theater's cut is staggered, more up front and less later, but it's safe to call it 50%.

91 I suspect that even the SJWs who applaud actors for running their mouths about the latest psuedo science study or politics would just go watch whatever is entertaining if the BS stopped, but it aint going to stop unless every last person who finds it off-putting starts boycotting and stating why. Seriously why would I want to know that the actor I enjoyed portraying a kick-ass soldier is supporting the traitors trying to weaken the military by allowing "trans" genders to enlist? I can just enjoy the movie if you'll keep your dumbness or traitorous ideals quiet, but you insist on shoving it in my face so screw you.

Iron Man was 2nd(?) tier when that movie came out. He definitely wasn't the top.

The top of Marvel was the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the X-Men, and Marvel had previously sold rights to all three of those to other studios. They had to start their own studio efforts with their best character left who was...Iron Man.

165 58 I can't recall a movie with a longer or more intense P&A campaign than this thing. Why? I mean, really? Even if it was set to be moderately successful, it wouldn't be worth this kind of promotional budget.

Because social justice marvel wants a "strong female" character as the face of the new franchise and they're going to make that happen, no matter how much it costs them and . The funny thing is how many times they've been trying to make Captain Marvel a thing, with various pushes and reboots and her leading a group of Avengers, and its just not working, the vast majority of fans don't like the character. Carol Danvers used to be somewhat interesting as Ms. Marvel, but then they made Ms. Marvel a muslim, so whatever.

Thought it came out in a recent interview that they sought out Larson because she is such a vocal feminist, since the project from the get-go was intended to be a very feminist, empowering message thing?

Think that's what was what she said in the Marie Claire (or whatever women's mag) interview --- that was conducted by a woman studio exec who was very involved in the project*. That would indicate the studio confirms Brie's take, since this "interviewer" would have not included that if it were not true.

175 160 March 8th is the theater release date. The Webz says the BluRay release is in June.

I can wait. Though I have seen some movies via the cam in the theater early. Cowboys and Aliens comes to mind. Right in the middle of the movie, some guy's silhouette goes down the ramp. I laughed out loud.
Posted by: Grump928(C) at February 26, 2019 04:48 PM (XAbde)

===========

Without even looking, I can tell you that Blu-Ray release date is wrong.

There's a minimum 3 month window that studios follow to help preserve ticket sales, and they extend it bigger movies, hoping to preserve their legs.

June is an estimate based on the 3 month window and no more than that. It ain't happening.

So did Lady Gaga. Break up with her fiancee I mean. And they were both at the Oscars...hookup time!

OT, but it is kinda gross that ppl are so into the idea of Gaga stealing away Bradley Cooper from his GF and their one year old daughter, just because the two have chemistry. Ryan and Hanks didn't bang each other, or Powell and Loy (that we know of.) It is called acting for a reason! And fidelity. Gross that both no longer matter.

254 Isn't this typically the way all disputes on the equality of standing between male and female is resolved?

Whenever a female discovers some apparent disparity between how males are treated as to how females are treated, immediately the standard at the heart of the problem is changed or done away with.

Can't get females to pass First Reponder physical strength tests? Do away with the tests or water them down.

Can't get females to pass combat training tests? Do away with tests or water them down while also giving the testees special training prior to the tests.

Rinse. Repeat.

And the sad thing is that it doesn't help anyone.

The females will always have their passing of the tests looked at with skepticism. They will be assumed to have benefited by lower standards.

The actual lowering of standards will cause people to die or be injured and our actual preparedness harmed.

And all this is driven by our confrontational journalism we've created along with the Educational system that seems to spend most of it's time informing the student of how they're being mistreated by the system and how to get back at it.

And the nation is split even further between those who demand equal outcomes and those who use reasonable standards that those who pass will be accepted by.

Like anything that polls art based on number of people who like or dislike it, it's really just a measure of overall popularity within the population polled, not actual quality.

It's no different from the IMDB raking system. Is a movie having 8.9/10 on IMDB a guarantee that you'll love it too? It's the same guarantee that a movie with a 99% on RT will have the same effect.

Then I saw the trailers, and how wooden and over-stoic, anti-charismatic she seems to be playing the character. Terrible choice. Marvel is usually good at their casting choices, but they may have laid an egg this time. We'll see. (Or not if no one goes, lol.)

522 >>> Except for To Wong Foo thanks for everything and the Bird cage

I adore Too Wong Foo. Like My Cousin Vinnie, one of the few films that to me has a perfectly written classic-style script. Perfectly written and plotted character arcs. And both have a brilliant marriage of perfectly cast actors bringing great material to life.

Still have not seen Priscilla Queen of the Desert yet! I denounce myself. Dumplin' is also a good "drag" film of sorts. But its main drag queen also acted on Lost and I kept wanting him to scream WAAAALT! the whole time, lol.

You could say that about anything.

Music sucks...just a bunch of pampered, no talent hacks that hate everything of values.

Literature sucks...authors are lonely perverts who force their sick fantasies on us through words rather than images.

Cars suck. Politically connected assholes look for ways to jack up the prices with useless government mandates so they can pay their fat, lazy union workers and still make a huge profit.

Yeah, you can no participate in the culture war...but it is the same as surrender (and just about as fun).

His books are pretty interesting. His most famous book is Blood Meridian but his best is All the Pretty Horses. Some might call it pretentious and overwrought but his writing style is unique. Particularly in Blood Meridian, on one page he is doing old west vernacular and the next it is more like the King James Bible.

I think one of the big deals about him is that he is a recluse that almost never gives interviews or explains his works. He came into the national spotlight with the movies No Country For Old Men and later for The Road.

581 502 3 comments on Private Ryan, as a combat veteran with 32 years in uniform:

1. The plot was ridiculous, although it did highlight how much personnel accountability has improved since WWII. After my dad was released from the hospital, he spent 6 weeks trying to get to his unit, catching rides on trucks heading forward to the last place anyone had heard that they were. I have to think that there were thousands like him.
2. The first 20 minutes bothered me a lot. For the next several days I heard the ping of bullets hitting the metal obstacles.
3. The best scene in the movie is when Captain Miller comes to the battalion CP to get the Ryan mission after having just lost his company. He looks around and notices there's one guy shaving and another making coffee. You just know that he is beyond contempt for the headquarters pukes. I hope the technical advisors fought for those few seconds of film, because I can't see a civilian even conceiving what it all means.
