That is funny, but he does have a quick trigger finger for the slightest things.
 
Say what you will about faraci, he knows how to generate his revenue. I'm looking for this to do a bit better than predicted. Not a blowout, but not the apocalypse the majority seem to believe it'll be.
 
Even if the film turns out better than anticipated it's going to struggle competing against Star Trek and Ice Age the following week. This was a really odd time to release this movie.

It's hilarious.....generally, he says something about some movie and then there are 20 pages of people in that movie's forum saying he isn't worth reading he's not worth listening to.....but that's all they can talk about for 20 pages. If he's not worth reading......don't read him.

Have to disagree on that. He is either pretty good at deleting the negative comments or they have given up & moved on. If you go to a Birth Movies Death article its usually 100-200 comments of people agreeing with what he has to say.
 
What were those films up against?

Not great but Paul Feig movies do tend to have legs. Spy had 2nd & 3rd week drops of 46% & 28%. The Heat had 36% & 43% drops & Bridesmaids had back to back 20% drops.

Those movies also got good to great reviews, were R-rated and weren't franchise films. Different situation with the latter two scenarios with the possible different situation with the first one as well.

I don't see how this film is critic-proof beyond initial curiosity on opening weekend.

He bans people who don't agree with him which is why the comments section on his website is so cultish.
 
Deleting comments that disagree with you or call you out is one of the most cowardly things you can do.
 
When it comes to reviews for this movie, I think it'll mostly be in the "it's okay" side if not "terrible". Honestly I don't think anyone's going to come out saying it's the best movie they've seen.

The Heat opened about one week after World War Z and two weeks after MOS.
Spy opened one week before Jurassic World and two weeks before Inside Out.

If that was to me... Um, what? it was in regards to twitter saying it was initially good, thus why I will wait for actual reviews. I never stated marketing.... :huh:

Sorry, misunderstood. Your post was a response to JMC's, who was suggesting that if this is actually a decent movie then it must be the victim of horrible marketing, so I thought that's what you were referring to when you said "the same thing happened to Independence Day."

Patton is good friends with Paul Feig and his late wife worked on the movie in some capacity. My condolences to his wife, but let's wait for actual critical reaction on Sunday.

Even before the tragedy about his wife, I had to stop following him. He's just too nasty.

Don't know if anyone posted this yet, but Patton Oswalt saw the movie:

"Just saw an early screening of GHOSTBUSTERS. It's fun. It's scary. It's terrific. Stay 'til after the credits."

About the post credits sequence:

"I can objectively say the post-credits scene is better than that [fan idea parodying Avengers]. People will be happy."

screw Patton Oswalt

i liked the guy but i lost a ton of respect for him after he went off on the AVGN/James Rolfe
 
Did the AVGN guy even ***** about the all-female cast? It seems odd they went after him so harshly just because he said he isn't going to review the movie. I get that Devin and Patton and others want this movie to be successful because it stars four women (and big blockbuster properties like Ghostbusters rarely have women as the leads) and I understand that, but I just don't think its going to happen with this movie.

Nope. That's why all the people giving him s*** acting like that's what it's about look extra stupid.
 
the AVGN gave extremely valid & logical reasons for not reviewing the movie that had absolutely nothing to do with the all female cast
