honestly i'm surprised it is at 35% - seems way too high to me.
So the critics largely think MIBI is worse.
Don't look at the RT score,look at the review score

How many of those movies did people see BECAUSE Tessa Thompson was in them? None.
Well, the last one for sure, as she's the lead of Little Woods.
But the post I was responding to didn't claim she was the lead or main draw of films. Is it odd to cast someone as a co-lead after such a successful string of prominent supporting performances? No.
A bunch of the reviews also cite her as good in the movie, along with Hemsworth. So complaining about Thompson before seeing the movie is revealing of some bias you have against her, and not against the squad of writers and hack director you should be blaming for cranking out a half-baked product.

Doing that kind of “research” in order to determine what film to make next is the kind of thinking that ruins major studio films.

"Star power" is generally used to describe an actor's ability to draw attention to a movie and sell tickets.
I was saying he was correct, she does not have much star power. I never said she was a poor actress or anything. There are many talented actors with little to no star power.

I don’t know that the concept of placing a movie star in a film and having that film perform at the box office solely due to his or her presence in the film still applies today. It’s a concept of yesteryear.

If it's a complicated movie that I know a lot of average people might not appreciate, anything over 60% will get me optimistic. A movie like this, however, one that is designed for mass appeal, needs at least 70% for me to even consider paying to see it.

I disliked the third installment enough to have zero interest in this one. Trailer looked like arse too.

This applied to Cary grant, James Stewart, other old Hollywood greats. Not even the biggest stars, such as Brad Pitt, have this kind of power. If they did people would have gone to see Fury or Allied, but they did not. Does Brad Pitt have no star power, or, as someone above mentioned, is this a totally outdated concept?

The capacity of some on this board for dismissing small movies for being small is baffling to me. Are you saying Little Woods wasn't seen because of Thompson? Do you really think that because it was an indie movie, her work in it should be discounted?
Do you also think that someone like Chris Evans is doing his best work in Captain America, as opposed to the smaller movies he's been in?
But this argument is dumb. Your opinion is based on an outdated concept, but stars become stars. They don't start that way. Cary Grant and Brad Pitt were both bit players until someone took a chance on them in leads. Thompson had enough strong supporting roles in successful movies for someone to take that leap.

How many go see Fury without Pitt?
Box office draws are most certainly still a thing. It can work for you, or against you. Why do you think high profile castings are still prominently reported? Or why the big name actor gets put front and center on the movie poster. . .even though he is in the film for 7 seconds?
Star power still matters.
Tessa just doesn't have it, yet. Maybe she will have a real breakout role that propels her forward, like a Basic Instinct, Million Dollar Baby, or a Pretty Woman.

I have seen the film, by the way. She is pretty good in it. But if it was evidence of her "star power", the movie should have had more success.
She is a decent actress, but she hasn't really broken out. She might, she might not.
MIBI is certainly not the boost she had hoped it would be, it would seem.

So you are bailing on your previous assertion that Tessa HAS star power?
Because if you are now saying she is trying to breakout, I will agree with you.
