Priced to move!!! Discounted for purchase just 69 days after theatrical release!

You know what that say, disastrous box office leads to disastrous home media sales.

That 39% RT All Audience score isn’t helping the word of mouth.

Physical coming 2/14, will be interesting to see how it performs versus other recent animated titles.

There is no 39% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It is 66% positive user and 72% positive from critics. Don’t get it twisted while you continue your gloating.

Your posts are so funny and so sad at the same time. You definitely need to keep posting about a movie that you didn’t see and is long gone out of the theaters because it is so very entertaining.

He didn't lie, he just used the unverified score — which is unreliable as people can vote who didn't actually watch the movie. The entire reason Rotten Tomatoes came up with the verified system was that trolls were often review bombing movies they hadn't actually seen. It started after Captain Marvel was review bombed by insecure men who hated comments that Brie Larson made on the press tour.

So he used scores that includes trolls and basement dwellers. Makes sense.

And I think it also happened with the Ghostbusters remake when all those sad and lonely losers spammed RT.

So just like this thread where people are reviewing the movie without seeing it

Rotten Tomatoes "verified' reviews only started May 2019. So you can only use that new process to compare theatrical movies that opened after that time.

"All Audience" is an apples to apples comparison for all films since they started the website, which is why I use it (and for Strange World it is currently sitting at 39%).

If one was to only use "verified' you couldn't compare Toy Story 4 vs. Toy Story 3 (doesn't have verified) or compare Encanto to Turning Red (also doesn't have verified because wasn't released in theaters). It also doesn’t allow people who watch the film on home video to rate it as well so the rating is frozen in time during its theatrical release.

So recapping, no films that existed before May 2019, no movies without large theatrical releases (Turning Red, Luck, Marcel the Shell, etc, etc), and no post theatrical voting - in other words a very limited use metric.

But hey, this is fun, let's try to find a single way that this movie is not a complete disaster!
  • Box Office of $73M global on a reported budget of $180M - CHECK!
  • CinemaScore from those who paid to see it on opening weekend - lowest of all time in Disney animated history of a B - CHECK!
  • Rotten Tomatoes - "All Audience" score of 39% one of the lowest of all animated films in history (theatrical or direct to home video) - CHECK!
  • Rotten Tomatoes - "Verified Audience" score of 66% is the THIRD WORST score for an animated film in the history of the rating (only beating something called Arctic Dogs and Playmobile:The Movie) - CHECK!
  • Unceremoniously dumped on to Disney+ at 30 days after release and on sale for $9.99 in the bargain bin by 60 days - CHECK!
And just to compare that “verified” score to recent releases:

Strange World 66%
(A massive gap)
Lightyear 84%
Minions: Rise of Gru 89%
Encanto 93%
Puss In Boots: The Last Wish 94%
Paw Patrol: The Movie 97%
Sing 2 98%

31 percentage points below Paw Patrol. Impressive.

From what I read, review bombing is done to sway people away from seeing a movie by making them believe others didn’t think it was worth seeing. Seems to be done when a movie contains something that the review bombers object to and don’t want others to see.

If you read the first five pages of posts in this thread, before anything was really known about the characters, it didn’t seem people were too excited about seeing this movie.

But after certain details about the film were released, some posters latched onto them as the reason people were rejecting the movie. Of course there isn’t any way to prove what motivated people not to see it. The thread contains plausible several theories.

The people who object to certain minor parts of this film (I saw it) want Disney to conclude that those parts were the “theme” of the film and the reason for its failure so Disney will stay away from those subjects in the future.

But there’s no way to prove that and Disney’s going to do what it thinks is right - probably with baby steps. Things change slowly but what is seen as controversial today will be commonplace tomorrow.

Apparently Iger's not a fan of extended editions hence why under his regime, Disney movies never got their extended versions released on Blu-Ray or 4K. That's why we never got Pocahontas on Blu-Ray with If I Never Knew You. Same reasons why the Blu-Rays of the Muppet Christmas Carol and Bedknobs and Broomsticks were the theatrical editions. The Lion King lost the Platinum Edition bonus song as well (although that was for the best) and only Beauty and the Beast retained its special edition but I think they got rid of that for the 4K as well.

For many people, the extended cuts of Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pocahontas and Beauty and the Beast are what they grew up with. Disney should at least make viewing those an option on Disney Plus. It's not that hard!

Especially Bedknobs, which is about 20 minutes longer than the theatrical cut and more in line with what the filmmakers intended.

Strange World has been released at DVD Blu-ray in the UK on February 6. Here's the price of the DVD:
Amazon product ASIN B0BQRFCN1L
And in the DVD release, you may notice the high-pitched version of Disney100 logo.


For non-English dubs, shorter version of the closing logo tends to be true. Here's the video that originally taken from Strange World Portuguese Brazilian dubbing version.
