Does anyone besides internet geeks put that much stock in Rotten Tomatoes though? Comcast owns RT as well as Universal, so I’d take reviews there with a grain of salt. That is, if I gave a crap about RT. 😉
BOH will probably break even once it hits home video, streaming and cable. I’m sure Rifftrax is going to take a crack at it.
I would say studios care about RT scores, as well as audiences (they’ve become common in advertising). Not that I care all that much, but it is what it is: a review aggregator. And the general consensus was that Jurassic World was okay fun, and Book of Henry was just plain not fun at all.
Also the idea that Comcast is buying reviews there is pretty ridiculous. Who do you think made Book of Henry, after all?
