Quick skim through posters lists so might be wrong but no-one has Twisters on the RT list. I said fuck as I thought I had.

[Curt McGirt]

Like the original was some masterpiece...

[S.K.o.S.]

FYI, the next update will probably be at least a few days late. Combination of travelling and computer problems. I'll get it posted as soon as I can.

I entered right before the deadline so it's on both lists for me.

Okay, through a series of minor miracles, I am actually posting this tonight. Thing is, with no new movies debuting, barely anything changed.

Borderlands is currently at 0% on Rotten Tomatoes

What is the lowest RT score a film has ever had in one of these things?

Great question. This first ran in 2008 and we lost two years due to coronavirus. Will have to think. I'm sure we've never had a 0% before.

No - Joe is a part of the TV series Twisted Metal

Even if he was, he would perhaps pay any amount to get himself digitally edited out of the film.

[Kuetsar]

Its up to a whopping 4 percent; someone's check must have cleared.

[RIPPA]

I did a quick scan - it took me getting back to 2017 to find something under 20%

The Emoji Movie was at 8% for contest purposes that year
