quote:sure. But that was uncertain before it released.
Or, you know, it was just a bad movie,
I am giving reasons why it bombed. Word of mouth is only effective after opening.
A well marketed and framed movie can still open well.
But after people see it, the jig will be up.

It's popping up all over my You Tube account. Nothing but terrible reviews. Haven't clicked on it yet.

A few things to consider in regards to The Bride!‘s exorbitant production cost. Gyllenhaal received top shelf with her cast, as well as below the line talent in Oscar-nominated Elvis production designer Karen Murphy, Joker’s Oscar-nominated DP Lawrence Sher, and 3x Oscar-winning costume designer Sandy Powell. The movie was shot in New York, and even though it received tax credits, I’m told that creative decision alone is what made the project too expensive for Netflix. In the same breath, the movie was shot in the United States. Isn’t that what the motion picture industry wants? If that’s the case, then there’s a very good case for money spent. There were $60M in production wages on The Bride! with over 2,500 local hires. The production worked with 500 businesses. Amen.
With that cast AND that crew, the script and the director hold 1000% of the blame. This had everything going for it talent-wise and they UTTERLY fricked it up.

It having a higher popcorn score than critic score is a pretty damning indictment of the effect the "verification" process has had on audience scoring
I looked over some of the reviews, and I think what's propping it up is that most of the bad reviews are giving it 2 stars, not 1... making it easier for the odd 5 star review to boost it more.
Weirdly enough, when you add in all viewer ratings, not just verified, it goes down - from 73% to 65% (and from 3.9 to 3.5).
Still think that's too high, but if Melania is at 98% you know the system is fricked up.
