Looks like ~$9M THU previews for #Michael. Including early shows $12.5M+. Those who watched are loving it, unlike critics who hated it. Expecting it to open around $90M.

Man this is as large of a divide between critics and audiences you’ll see. I figured people would like Michael more than critics but not THIS much

90% audience score. What were the critics smaking. Look, i get bad movies that make money like minions, super Mario, transforners
transformers, that’s scathed by the critics.
But this seems to be a case of good movie making money, that’s scathed by the critics. I don’t understand. Who got it wrong.

This isn’t a movie for people who wanna be wowed by cinema. This is a movie for people who wanna be entertained by Michael Jackson, one of if not the greatest entertainer in music history. And who is there more of – critics or the audience?

I think it’ll do pretty well even though it’s not very good. I’m very pro-MJ and I still thought it was maybe a 4/10, but other types of fans (the majority) just wanna tap their feet to Billie Jean and won’t really care that it didn’t have the balls to honestly examine him as a real person.

Definitely opening higher than that, audiences are loving it.
Hot take: Jaafar Jackson will win an Oscar (it’s not like I care about the Oscars anyway)

Have they adressed that he was a pedophile ? That he used to sleeo with young boys and they were in his compound guardian less for months on end?
