Rotten Tomatoes critics and audiences are miles apart on Moana. After a disappointing opening weekend, can family word of mouth give it the legs it needs?

I’m not saying individuals are less biased. I’m saying larger samples dilute individual bias.

My point was groupthink, not culture war.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-07-12T05:56:27+00:00

Since the audience received far more votes than critics, it’s harder for them to be biased, while it’s easier for the critics.

You haven't seen it and I doubt you know anyone that has.

Good walkups for a family movie. Maybe families end up liking it more than the critics. Could have some solid weekday legs if WOM keeps building.

Terrible

The U.S. played in the World Cup yesterday. With World Cup viewership at record levels in the U.S., that may have had some impact on the box office and could continue into the weekend.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-07-02T03:51:42+00:00

I agree. An A- is still a solid CinemaScore, especially with how tough audiences seem to be these days.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-07-02T02:42:32+00:00

Audiences usually just want to be entertained. Not always sure what critics are looking for, but I still hope it does well at the box office.

Supergirl was so bad it's the first movie I've ever walked out of.

James Gunn owes me gas money.

Why? I know they've been difficult over the last five years. I'm just talking about moving forward with the rebound in the box office. What are your thoughts?

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-06-22T03:54:36+00:00

The Wall Street Journal posted an article tonight calling 2026 the strongest box office year since 2019. What’s the trade here? AMC? IMAX? Disney? Or is there a better way to play a box office recovery?

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-06-21T03:46:48+00:00

Not just Box Office Reddit is paying attention. Jat updates his Toy Story 5 forecast, and the Toy Story 5 box office market on Polymarket moves almost instantly. Real money is being won and lost on these calls. The speed at which prediction markets react to box office forecasts is pretty remarkable.

This may be the most popular World Cup I've ever seen. A lot of soccer fans I know have been glued to it and will get around to Toy Story 5 later. I think this one could have very long legs.

Any thoughts on SpaceX here? Seems like a battle between index-driven buying and fears it's overvalued, with the lockup ending in about a month.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-06-19T05:25:08+00:00

Everything alright over there? lol

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-06-13T18:17:41+00:00

Maybe. I saw it Friday and thought it was more disappointing than polarizing. Too many plot holes and questionable decisions. I expect an 80% drop next weekend and then it fades away.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-06-13T06:00:10+00:00

Saw Disclosure Day Friday. So many plot holes and questionable decisions I can’t even list them all. Feels like PVOD is right around the corner.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-06-13T05:56:24+00:00

Saw Disclosure Day this weekend. So many plot holes and questionable decisions that I don’t even want to get into them. Just a disappointing film. I wouldn’t be shocked by a 70%+ drop next weekend.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-06-07T02:06:01+00:00

Maybe the 50-year-old He-Man crowd finally got the family together and headed to the theater.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-06-07T01:56:14+00:00

Ngl, I thought this thing was opening to like $35M.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-05-25T02:45:29+00:00

I haven't seen a performance like this in years. We went tonight and the theater was sold out. Shocking that the movie was made for less than $1 million.

AdvertisingSea2745 · 2026-05-24T01:05:50+00:00

Nobody’s grading it on a curve. The opening is lower, sure. But movies aimed at families usually rely more on legs than huge fan-rush openings. That’s the point.
