For reference, 2 started at 97% and fell to 92% I believe.
Good or bad?
Awesome 👌
Same audience score as The Way of Water. It’s looking good.
It will probably get A or A- CinemaScore, I think
Another crowdpleaser just like the first two. It’s gonna have great legs, question is how far are those legs gonna take it
