 CinemaScore now available to the public Not sure that this is actually useful but at least we don't have to rely on Nikki's crazy ass for the info now. http://www.cinemascore.com/

Re: CinemaScore now available to the public I read once even receiving a B is problematic and indicates mixed word-of-mouth, let alone a C or D.

Re: CinemaScore now available to the public I don't understand how Avatar got "only" an A, considering its insane legs. I was under the impression that the WOM for Avatar was among the best of all time.

Re: CinemaScore now available to the public Definitely not, but the 3D was so intense and grand that it was a movie that everyone had to see. The film itself is light and entertaining, but thats about it outside of the effects

Re: CinemaScore now available to the public Thegun wrote: Definitely not, but the 3D was so intense and grand that it was a movie that everyone had to see. The film itself is light and entertaining, but thats about it outside of the effects That's my opinion of the film too, but I don't think it's the opinion of most people. I'm pretty sure most people who aren't "movie specialists" thought it was a masterpiece. You don't get this type of legs and overseas gross if most people think: "Man, that Avatar movie is okay, but you absolutely must go see it because of the 3D!!!". And then you have a movie like Harry Potter 2, which did much worse than HP1 and had worse legs....... and it got an A+. Yeah ok.......no comment.

Re: CinemaScore now available to the public Yeah its hard to say...
Inception is like a B or something...
It had some of the best WOM in a while.
Only film that comes close since is TA and TDKR...

Re: CinemaScore now available to the public A is still a spectacularly good rating.
I don't think CinemaScore works well for knotty thrillers, horror or comedy. Those are inherently divisive and subjective genres. That's why a B+ for Inception is actually great, while it'd be solid/average for, say, an animated movie, a regular high-concept action movie or drama.

Re: CinemaScore now available to the public It's not effective for horror because general audiences seem to hate every horror movie ever made.  _________________1. The Lost City of Z - 2.

Re: CinemaScore now available to the public It's significant when the grade is extreme: an A or a C/D/F. It becomes much more ambiguous when it's an A- or a B+.

Re: CinemaScore now available to the public CinemaScore may have some utility in predicting BO, but it is absolutely useless in judging a film's actual merit.

So overall it had a "B+," but if you talked to just the 18-25 year olds (the group that drove its legs), you'd get a reaction more along the lines of "A."
