Cinemascore grades the audience’s reception towards the film. The higher the score, the more positive the reception.

For family films, you want to get an A in order for a film to do well in the box office. A- is passable, but a B-range is not good since that means most of the people within a certain age range and/or gender must’ve had mixed reception.

The same is true for superhero films. You want to land at an A-range for those films, because if you don’t, then something did went wrong with the film that disappointed the audience.

For horror films, you want to land at a B-range. Horror usually tends to get a lower reception than most films, and a horror film getting a Cinemascore of A- or higher has been extremely rare in cinema history.

Makes sense. People can’t handle the purity of the best genre ever.

she is so cool.

Big strong wolf things are a weakness of mine.

Sapphic HTP fans: you are distressed because Marcus is in danger and his loved ones are distraught, We are distressed because we are now into Rynoa and furries, we are not the same.

Started watching The Walking Dead recently. This sums up my feelings for the first 2 seasons

The seasons definitely have their up and downs and the overall plot gets pretty repetitive, but yeah it’s a really good show.

@Dustcan
Oh don’t get me wrong i m really ejoying the show, im just REALLY tired of Shane and his bullshit and hoping that he becomes zombie Walker chow soon :P

Which I have no doubt would make him very powerful. Probably enough to come out on top against some of the other universe versions of Superman running around. But the original Superman? The big blue boy scout himself? Defender of truth and justice and all that? Not a chance.


@BlueYoshi
Oh, I see. Very enlightening, thank you.

Revisiting this series is pure gold.

@Background Pony #66AC
R.I.P. Kevin Conroy.

@BlitztheDragon
Would. Raw.

I recently watched The Gorge with Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy. I knew nothing going into this film, but if I had to describe it:
It’s the Notebook with sprinkled in elements of Resident Evil, The Last of Us, Dawn of the Dead, Stranger Things, King Kong, Lord of the Rings, Uncharted, and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

As crazy as all that sounds, it was actually really good, and makes me think this was an adaptation of a video game.

@Dr_Osaka
my guess, the source material might be east asian.

they LOVE combining inhuman terror, threat of death, insanely contrived setting, and cute whimsical romance.

also thx for the recommendation.

Matt Damon as Odysseus, from Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaption of The Odyssey

@Icey1517
And people actually though Tom Holland was gonna be Odysseus.😂

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I mean TBF he was literally the very first person announced to be in the movie so i dont blame people for thinking that XD

@Icey1517
I mean I guess I hold Nolan in high enough regard to not do something that ridiculous.

I already know Holland is gonna be Telemachus. The youthful uncertain hero.

The fact he was named first though might mean there will be more focus on Telemachus.

Also who is Zendaya gonna be? Probably not Penelope since shes so young.

I came across a post asking if bella ramsey should play Aloy in live action, I’m just thinking just let other actors be in this stuff.

It also feels like when tom holland was nathan drake, Looking roughly half as young as the game character.
bella played a 14 year old

Apparently Dean DeBlois the director of the animated and live action how to train your dragon Recently called the animated movie a test screening for the new one

@northern haste
It’s kinda sad even that person is writing off animation that way…

Are we seriously going back to the old days when animation is no longer taken seriously anymore, or just seen as a vehicle for live action remakes?

@Beau Skunky
As if animation had any form of respect anyway.

@Beau Skunky
The weird thing is, he previously said he wasn’t trying to replace the animated one.
But so far was that comment and the trailers it looked like he lied
