BSL AMA: CREED 3 is scoring in the high 80's (for test screenings), much better than THE FLASH notfabio Oct 18, 09:43

BSL AMA: Barring a last minute reshoot/change the Mister Mind tease in SHAZAM is not followed up on in SHAZAM: FURY OF THE GODS. notfabio Oct 18, 09:46

All the DC reporting by THR is true. notfabio Oct 18, 09:47

He's not confirming the news. "If a trade says something, it's 100% accurate." {nm} Antibody Oct 18, 09:49

What does that mean "scoring in the high 80s"? What was the "score" for the Flash? What is the source? ELI5 {nm} execrated Oct 18, 09:54

Studio test screenings score on a 1-100 across various demos on various things but the goal is to get a high "definite recommend" percentage notfabio Oct 18, 10:04

The specific scores on THE FLASH, etc I think were posted at one point, I think it was low 80's after the most recent? notfabio Oct 18, 10:06

I thought maybe "80s" referred to a dollar amount, like 80m opening. Where can one find these screening scores you refer to? {nm} execrated Oct 18, 10:10

They are typically confidential, occasionally they leak, like they did in all the Batgirl coverage or if a studio wants to brag. {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 10:15

That's not exactly accurate. You're confusing what "Top two box" means (more info inside) RupertPupkin Oct 18, 11:57

And anything that scores in the 80's or above is considered some level of good. Its then a deeper dive into the other responses Moviesnob Oct 18, 12:10

Correct. {nm} RupertPupkin Oct 18, 12:16

13LIV received the best test scores in MGM history, and was dumped to streaming. Antibody Oct 18, 10:08

The stars don't show up it in until 15 minutes in (after a lot of Thai) and it's a lot of tight murky cave footage. Not really commercial. notfabio Oct 18, 10:14

How did it scored so high? {nm} Antibody Oct 18, 10:20

Probably the "feel good" ending (and they eat up "based on a true story" like candy) also probably smaller test audiences due to COVID. {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 10:28

Horror movies/sci fi gets ripped apart because they usually have downer endings (also why CinemaScores are usually bad for them) {nm} notfabio Oct 18, 10:29

Could have been harder to recruit and/or had to give a large incentive to those who did show up, plus... RupertPupkin Oct 18, 12:07
