7.2 on imdb , low for fanboy film on ow
mediocre
shareNow 7.0. Ends up in low 6s.
shareI think it'll settle around a 6.5 or 6.6. These blockbuster tentpole films make their fastest and largest drops within the first few days after they become available for streaming, but then stabilize after that and make much slower drops. There were some people on the ZS Justice League Board claiming that film would drop into the low 7's but it's going to settle at around 8.0.
shareI noticed it was highly rated on IMDb in its first week of release in overseas markets. But the rating plummeted dramatically as soon as it was released in the US. Are American viewers just more harsh, unforgiving and judgy of these sorts of films than Asia-Pacific viewers are?
shareIts IMDB rating is actually higher in the U.S. than it is overseas (6.7 vs 6.4). I've noticed whenever a film becomes available on streaming, its rating makes faster drops. My hypothesis is that when a film, particularly a big blockbuster type of film, is released in theaters first, the people who go see it are more hyped and likely to be partial to it so its ratings are at its highest during that period. Once it becomes available for streaming, which then makes it subject to pirating, the ratings tend to make a fast drop for several days before stabilizing because much more casual viewers or even those who would "hate watch" the film (for lack of a better phrase) are now seeing the film for the first time since they get to see it for free.
That theory seems to fit both Zack Snyder's Justice League and Godzilla vs. Kong. ZSJL started at an 8.9 and dropped to an 8.2 while GvK started at 8.0 and dropped to a 6.6.
