A little surprised by these Passengers reviews tbh. Was expecting at least 60% range on RT. The director's track record is good.

Considering the movie is basically a creepy infatuation stalker movie I 'd say it was lucky to get even what it did.

Hmm. I always said Passengers will not beat AC. But that such low ratings I did not expect.

I saw that too. It's all downhill from here.
Whatever you are, be a good one.

I came here to make a thread about this. Looks like opening at #3 in the box office is a possibility.
Plus, there's nothing released the next week.
17% is pretty terrible. But then again, it's not like Assassin's Creed is likely to have reviews on its side.

Are you talking for Passengers or for Assassin's Creed? Because I'm now thinking that #3 might be possible for AC.

I'm talking AC, but really it's a possibility for either one of them.

Not at all.
Pratt and Lawrence will drag the movie to hit status.
Unless Assassins Creed is a great movie, it will bomb. The studio already realizes this as the budget is suddenly being reported at 130 million compared to the 200 million it was at all times prior to now.
And the short length is also discouraging - it was 2 h 2 minutes for long and now it is barely 110 minutes?
This will probably suck.
Laura:You left a dead prostitute buried alone in the desert?
Kyle:She's not alone.

Wrong Wrong. The budget and the running time were only rumors and never confirmed.
Assassin's Creed will be a succes and at least number 3

I was one of those who believed that Passengers won't hurt AC. Like a said before (somewhere in one of the my old posts):
Fessbender > Chris Pratt
AC is full of action hence will draw very young population, young adults, and male population the most.
Passengers is more romantic and dramatic hence will draw females more (who will draw their men, but not enough to increase numbers).
AC is something new: a sci fi and a historical movie. Space movies, we get them at least twice a year so you see my point.
AC already established a great fan base around the world, that will bring more people!
Bottom line, AC is fresh and Passengers is a rehash.

I hope you're right man! Macbeth was pretty good considering it was so faithful to the source material (Good thing and also a bad thing), and Assassin's Creed has the same Lead actor Director, supporting actress, and Cinematographer.

Accually Michel Fassbender is more pointed at older audiences which is not what demographic this movie is aimed at.
Chris Pratt > Michel Fassbender
Jennifer Lawrence > Michel Fassbender
this movie is relying on its reviews (which its chances getting good reviews aren't so high) and the video game fans.

I've actually seen this coming. There is just something wrong with this movie. It tries to be serious forgetting that Lawrence and Pratt could hardly do one.

I know someone who saw a screening of Assassin's Creed last week and gave it 6/10.
Saying very flawed, but it was okay.

Is it really though? .. the embargo is still up
Re: Poor reviews for Passengers is good news for Assassin's Creed

I think the main risk would be the fact that Passengers was good, like, the Imitation Game good.
Also I believe that Mad Max: Fury Road had an embargo up until 3 days before release, so that doesn't mean much.

rogue one had a embargo up until the day before the premier, so late reviews doesn't means that the movie is bad

What do you mean? Passengers is currently sitting at 32% on Rotten Tomatoes. It doesn't look like it's going to be good:

Yeah, and that risk is now gone. (I saw speaking of previously)

People need to stop bringing up Mad Max as an example. It was premiering at Cannes, thus the embargo a few days before release. Furthermore, although there were no official reviews, critics has seen it before and where dropping hints that it was excellent without going into detail I don't see that here.
Transformers, Star Wars, and Marvel/DC don't need critics reviews to put behinds in seats, and Assassin's Creed is in a different category.

Is there source on Cannes being a reason for the embargo?

Are you serious with this nonsense? Major film festivals promoting premiers major movies make studios put embargoes, because what is the purpose of all that hype for a top film festival if critics have already praised or derided it? Look at the movie, Sully. Regardless, Mad Max did not wait until the night before release like AC is doing but reviews came out that Monday/Tuesday and built hype for the week.
The question you need to really be asking since the movie is tracking low, but is actually great and incredible, then why does Fox not lift the embargo and build hype, especially again such stiff competition? Asking me for sources is not going to change the films reception or box office.

I've got no idea but the embargo is lifting on Monday, so we'll see then.

That doesn't answer why the embargo would be so late

Passengers is still predicted to make a decent amount of money because of starpower and the plot. It's a crowd pleaser film after all, we've seen similar films becoming hits despite bad reviews (Accountant for instance).
AC will need very good reviews if it wants to beat Passengers and Sing next week. Like a lot. But I still think it could flop in US just like Warcraft did. Overseas will save it, especially with China. Btw, when is Chinese release?

I think it'll only open in China in January. Regardless, China won't save it, the games don't have as much popularity in China as Warcraft did.

I haven't seen a single release date in China yet. AC must come out there because China saved Warcraft from being an ultimate failure (it made 200M there. Without this number, the worldwide gross would have been 237M LOL). But yeah, I don't think AC is a big as Warcraft among Chinese audience.

These are just forecasts from movie websites. At first they were higher but after reviews came out predictions were reduced to 30M over the weekend.

30mil sounds about right, Passengers will be a huge flop , just think jupiter ascending
Some of the reviews call the movie "Titanic in space" how does that even sound good.

Passengers had a lower budget though, only 120M. Jupiter had a what, 200M budget?

Now currently around a 33%. The score has been fluctuating between the early 30s and late 20s from the site. Anyways, those early reviews for Passengers was a bit of a letdown for me. I was kinda anticipating for this movie and expect the reception to be decent. Even if the reviews do gradually become more positive around its release, it wouldn't be by much.
I could also see this movie and Passengers battling for #3 around this point. Maybe Assassin's Creed slightly more, due to an already existing fanbase of the games.
Happy Holidays!

Passengers is probably the biggest opponent to Assassin's Creed financially because there is more audience overlap (Than Sing for example).
