Smaller films such as Jobs and Paranoia often have crazier CinemaScores. I wouldn't be surprised to see either fall into the C range.

Mortal Instruments - B-
You're Next - B
The World's End - B



A B is a high rating for a horror movie but from what I hear the finale of You're Next is a lot of fun and cheer-worthy, so I think it can leave audiences fairly pleased and result in a solid rating. I was kind of torn between a B- and B. I don't expect lower than a C+.

It sounds like fans of the Mortal Instruments books are not enjoying the movie as they changed so much, which is why I wouldn't expect them to be too terribly satisfied.

Well that's encouraging, though I doubt it's going to crossover much with people who didn't read the books anyway. Anyone else think this would have been much better as a TV show on The CW? I mean, no way all six books were going to make it to the big screen.

Yeah I too believe it could have gone True Blood route. I don't think they would be able to get all six books into movies.

I am very eager to see You're Next's score. It would be such a pleasant surprise if it were, say, a B, but I am not holding my breath.

While I'm here:

Getaway - B
One Direction: This Is Us - A
Closed Circuit - B+ (if polled)
The Grandmaster - C+ (if polled)

Unfortunately I don't see it being a B. :( Many of the reactions online seem to be negative. On Fandango, Twitter, Facebook, etc... Idiots ;). A B- would be really solid, IMO.

I'd cry :P. :sweat: I really don't think it will have great legs unless the high marks from critics will outweigh any negative audience reaction, kind of like with Cabin in the Woods. But honestly I think its start will be too small to really keep it afloat. I would love to see it hold up solidly like The Descent but that was earlier August and it had summer weekdays.

Post Re: Predict The CinemaScore's For This Weekend's Openers
I believe the upscale-adult moviegoers who do turn out for Closed Circuit (the few, the proud) will enjoy it. It is a twisty, earnest, high-gloss suspense film which moves at a fairly fast pace.

Mainstream audiences will despise The Grandmaster. It has a great deal of martial-arts action, but it is still very much a Wong Kar-wai film. People drawn in by the hip-hop scored, hyperactive television spots will be bored and mystified. It is not The Raid: Redemption.

If their site is an indication, only Getaway will be polled.

Post Re: Predict The CinemaScore's For This Weekend's Openers
They should atleast poll One Direction its the widest release of this weekend. It will be interesting to see the Cinemascore for Getaway. I am thinking it will get negative reviews but the scoring could be driven by Gomez fans so you never know it might get B+ or something good.

I doubt Gomez fans will even care for it.

I suppose they could feel there is no use in polling One Direction. It's going to be a fans only affair and they'll easily give it an A. And even if it gets an A+ it will be front-loaded.

Getaway received a C+ CinemaScore.

Oh, and the One Direction film was indeed polled. It received a predictable A.

C+ for Getaway is great.

For a film that has been murdered in almost all reviews, and that doesn'y really have a fanbase coming to see it on opening day/weekend, a "C+" tells me that it's an average thriller in the vein of Assault on Precinct 13 (a shit movie also starring Hawke), but not a monumental failure the likes of G.I. Joe: Retaliation or White House Down.

I still have no interest in seeing it unless it surfaces that Selena Gomez gives head or shows some breast.

It is almost a perverse honor to receive an F CinemaScore, as Killing Them Softly did last year. It may be a studio's nightmare, but it indicates a film, in one way or another, absolutely disturbed, disgusted, and/or infuriated an audience, which, to me, is more interesting than, "Eh, it was mostly crap, but it passed the time for my me and my diecisiete niños at the 10:30 showing."

I would agree. I imagine if 2001: A Space Odyssey was released nowadays, it would receive an "F" Cinemascore.

Any number of films accepted as canonical classics would be shit on by modern audiences, definitely. Imagine showing Rosemary's Baby to a Friday-night horror crowd of texting Latino teens.
