I'm shorting The Grinch on my theory that only bad movies don't have an RT score three days before release. Call me crazy! {nm} stormgod Nov 06, 17:05

RT scores for the last 4 Illumination pics range from 56-74%, the lowest grosser from this bunch took $270m - but yep NUTFR proves yr point. {nm} Qix Nov 06, 23:31

neither of those had 50+ years of goodwill built up by the annual TV showing. that's good for building in an audience but it also creates a slipping jimmy Nov 07, 08:32

allow we to suggest that wom and rt scores dont always line up. good wom lines up more often with cinemascore and other exit polls {nm} Moviesnob Nov 07, 08:20

Have trouble understanding how many times they can sell the same movie, but my shorts have run bad lately, so.... {nm} WallyWabash03 Nov 07, 09:26
