A rare fresh movie in february

I don't see any real reviews yet but early twitter reactions seem solid, so we might at least go 1 for 5 this month

@Ziddletwix movie drops tomorrow and the review embargo is still up. Pretty big red flag that they’re hiding something.

@mattyb Yeah looks like the review embargo drops this morning (might be 1pm est?), that sounds troubling but the Twitter reactions I saw were mostly fine? Probably currently have it a bit too high

@mattyb https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/drive_away_dolls 78% out of 40. Looks like this dumpuary market can finally enjoy a win, phew (& that the studio just had zero plan for marketing the movie I guess)

They don’t call it the movie dumping ground for nothing.

@mattyb and yet just weeks ago we were still so full of hope, so naive...

(except madame web, no one was naive about that, RIP)

@Ziddletwix i’m saddest about Bob Marley. It always looked like it fit the Walk Hard model perfectly, but many of those movies are still decent.

Driveaway Dolls is the month’s last chance. Save us Ethan Coen, you're our only hope

Review embargo drops today and the first reactions are not good

@mattyb Bummer. (from unscientifically the first wave of reviews on twitter, seems basically to match those reacions). despite all evidence that this is how it would go, I still had some slim hope this would be one of those weird reversals

@Ziddletwix I think there’s a real question if audiences react to the film, will it be “so good it’s bad” or just bad.

@mattyb yup. all tracking looks bleak but still possible that it catches on & people give it a try in theaters.

tbh I whiffed by not creating a market for the Madame Web vs Morbius (15%) RT duel—that would have kept things interesting. (although if I had to guess, MW might slowly rise a bit over time, we'll see)

new month just dropped

What a bleak month 😮

@Ziddletwix oof, I was hoping Bob Marley was good

Related market: Will the Madame Web RT score be larger than the total points scored in the Super Bowl. (Different resolution threshold)

@Ziddletwix early reviews don’t look great

@mattyb RT hasn’t updated so I’m not gonna wager too much on an unscientific skim of Twitter (i cant really track it this morning) but yup the reactions I saw were brutal

@Ziddletwix If I had to pick a number, I’d say ~50 for the final tomatometer

@Ziddletwix I was too generous
