This movie, I'm going on gut...

I don't know anyone who wants to see this in my sphere (and I'm female and I hang with lots of kids).  Maybe this will be the single lady film of the year and I'm just not seeing it.  But, I think Pets kills it (like Nemo killed all the 2nd weekend films it was up against)...

I say this as one who LOVES the original ghostbusters and can probably quote a few lines...

I mean, I ask myself - if I'm not the audience, who is for this movie?  I don't think they are looking to draw couples or a heavy male audience...I don't see males 13-25 dying for this, and I don't see this as a Bridesmaids or Magic Mike audience movie (nor do I see it as an "old people" audience movie).  I have said, and will continue to say, that the Bridesmaid spot is for Bad Moms this summer if there's any movie that inherits the title...

It could be a movie that even if good, brings no one out opening weekend...I mean, the BFG just had that problem 2 weekends ago and it was 72%...

RT: GHST3 reviews are coming in. 67% fresh (16 vs 9 rotten) so far {nm} RogerMore Jul 10, 10:39

THR: Antibody Jul 10, 10:53

a bust; V: funnier and scarier {nm} Antibody Jul 10, 10:55

Huh? That V review is quite negative, yet this is funnier and scarier than the original? So he hated the original? {nm} islander Jul 10, 11:08

Lots of spoilers. "It's garbage.. Don't see it.. It's a man bashing moving." He gives it a big FU! He'd never see it again. Baron_Darcon Jul 10, 12:54

thats one review. Its consensus is positive (75% at RT). Please stop posting misinformation about this movie {nm} Moviesnob Jul 10, 12:56

Vanity fair "Is a Flat, Occasionally Charming Disappointment" Baron_Darcon Jul 10, 13:07

there are 10 rotten reviews. You can post each one, doesnt change the fact that its being received well. Moviesnob Jul 10, 13:14

It's sure hard to figure out which way he's holding the stock and options. {nm} pennystocks2 Jul 10, 13:51

I would never normally do this, but +1 - amen. {nm} click999 Jul 10, 15:36

The best most of these reviews can say about the movie is that "It's okay" i.e. "It's not a complete trainwreck as we thought." {nm} diamondman56 Jul 10, 20:05

Aside from the fawning reviews, a lot say it's okay overall, but we like Feig and the cast so we'll give it a thumbs up. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 10, 21:26

Did anyone think that SJW movie reviewers were going to be honest about the film? Does anyone think people listen them anymore? Mealticket Jul 11, 12:38

But Top Critics are at 9 or 18 or 50/50 medv4380 Jul 11, 13:12

You are trying to change the sentiment of the reviews for some reason... {nm} Prophecy Jul 11, 00:02

Marmite factor! {nm} hyperzeitgeist Jul 10, 10:57

I think Vigo unleashed all this negativity {nm} tealfan Jul 10, 11:41

I ain't 'fraid of no👻ghosts! {nm} KingRichard Jul 10, 12:04

The Guardian piling-on: "I love Ghostbusters and I love Paul Feig. So why do I only like his female remake?" stormgod Jul 10, 12:56

I think this will be a huge surprise hit. The leads are all popular, fun and hilarious. Hersheybar Jul 10, 16:36

iDK if it will be a mega hit, but I think it's going to do just fine - it's a comedy you can bring older kids to, which is a relative rarity CG63 Jul 10, 20:58

This movie, I'm going on gut... TwoMisfits Jul 10, 13:38

-Paul Feig's female reboot is a blast lian Jul 10, 14:14
