(woo) If I had to point to one thing, it would be the great reviews for the Turtles movie that almost no one expected. A lot of us were very happy to slap that movie right at the bottom of our RT list. Four people (including me!) now have double-digit points just from the RT placement of that movie alone. Meanwhile Natural, John from Cincy, Kuetsar, and Rippa - who are the ones making big jumps in the standings - all left TMNT off their RT list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want to highlight that by saying that no one else currently has double-digit points resulting from the placement of any other single movie on a list. It's just TMNT on the RT list that's doing it. So you could say the excellent reviews for TMNT were an even bigger surprise for us than Barbie's box office performance was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem off my Rotten Tomatoes list on the small chance it was a hit with critics. Didn't want to risk it.

The Natural Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) I think the five biggest surprises of this Summer Blockbuster Pool: 1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem's Rotten Tomatoes rating. 2. Barbie's box office. 3. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is second on S.K.o.S DVDVR MB Updates to Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1. Most thought it would be top. 4. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 box office total. 5. The Flash bombing as bad as it has at the box office.

If it's any consolation, I think the RT list is the hardest one as there's so many variables.
