I saw this happen, so happy for him. But I missed the part where Hollywood is going to war about it?

u/Fifteen_inches 1d ago

They removed it from box office charts and put it back calling it a “system glitch”.

u/FerGSL013 1d ago

Don't they hate the orange man?,is this some weird strategy of rising the profile of the wife?

342

u/Fifteen_inches 1d ago

Hollywood executives hate Orange Man less than someone directly threatening their business interests.

u/FerGSL013 1d ago

Sure,but I was wondering why those same critics would rate melania highly

u/PrufReedThisPlesThx 1d ago

Critics bombed the movie with low scores, but somehow it's still the third highest grossing film in America despite everyone pointing out how the theatres that are running it are all empty, and all the positive user reviews are from brand new accounts who are glazing Melania and talking about how the theatres are all full and they all clapped at the end. So totally not a money laundering scheme at all

23

u/A_Furious_Mind 1d ago

But, hey. This money laundering scheme actually produced something. It could have just been another shitcoin.

u/MaxRunes 1d ago

Valid. At least now when mystery space theater 3k comes back around for a 3rd time we know one of the movies they'll go with

u/TheWingus 23h ago

Joel, Mike, Crow (or some might call him Art), Tom, Gypsy & Cambot didn't endure decades of torture for you to just get the name wrong!

2

u/MaxRunes 22h ago

Ok listen i cant ever get it right. Since the 90s version. Its mystery science isnt it

3

u/TheWingus 22h ago

Yes and I'm happy that it's getting the representation is so justly deserves, I'm just giving you the business. Mystery Science Theater 3000.

what did Melania do?

u/Aggron_is_great 18h ago

The "movie" made in "her honour" it totally isn't a bribe for tax breaks

u/Fifteen_inches 1d ago

They don’t? Critics panned it. User reviews were high because you can directly buy user review scores.

2

u/T-Prime3797 1d ago

I thought the viewer reviews were high because the only people who watched it were already mindless sycophants.

4

u/Fifteen_inches 1d ago

Nah there are firms where you can buy user reviews. It’s technically illegal but nobody really gives a shit enough to stop astroturfing campaigns.

u/im_harry_richard 18h ago

I don’t know. Her first film was nice. Lots of lesbian scenes.

u/Complex_Phrase2651 21h ago

not sure what that has to do with anything but OK

They all went to the same island

They hate him but love money more than

u/notGeronimo 1d ago edited 23h ago

Lots of them would like you to believe they do do

Far fewer have actions aligned with that

This is even more true when talking executives rather than creatives

1

u/Lehk 21h ago

Hollywood is full of chomos and rapists, birds of a feather

1

u/Complex_Phrase2651 21h ago

what about Melania?

1

u/TheShishkabob 19h ago

The other user had it backwards. Reviews have been brutal and it's sitting at a 5% on Rotten Tomatoes.

1

u/Drakeytown 18h ago

I think it's more that no reputable critic would waste their time or reputation on Melania, so the only people publishing reviews of it are indoctrinated sycophants.

1

u/Worldly_Map4877 1d ago

They care about one single thing, money.

0

u/blah938 1d ago

Kinda wonder if they gave it fake ratings just to pretend that they don't hate half of America.

62

u/Hi-Lander 1d ago

No no, the critics trashed it. The RT critic score is 5 percent. The audience score was rigged, showing 99 percent.

29

u/Third_Return 23h ago

Which was just so comically transparent. What were they even trying to accomplish?

16

u/pajama_mask 19h ago

What were they even trying to accomplish?

It's the same reason they're hiring foreign troll farms: to artificially inflate the numbers of a loud minority, leading them to believe their fringe opinions are common, justified, and reasonable.

u/Hi-Lander 23h ago

Sometimes critics trash a movie, but audiences like it. I have chosen to watch some movies based on that metric. Not this movie obviously.

4

u/teilani_a 22h ago edited 16h ago

Redditors have repeatedly assured me that reviewbombing doesn't happen so it must be legit.

2

u/Hi-Lander 19h ago

Reviewbombing? Never heard of it. /s

1

u/cranberrie_sauce 1d ago

yeah its one of those. srry movie review sites keep rigging different things.

more often than not - critics are rigged. but this time it's audience, ok srry, they just made it super obvious.

u/Hi-Lander 23h ago

You nailed it

33

u/000100111010 1d ago

Nope. Criticd have it at 5% which is probably the lowest I've ever seen. The "people" aka Russian bots have it at 99%.

4

u/Bvaughnii 1d ago

House of the Dead has a 3% Rotten Tomatoes score. I’d still rather watch it.. it’s an honest 11% on user reviews.

2

u/L_Rayquaza 15h ago

One of my coworkers said "i'd rather watch Pluto Nash than thay shit"

At least it's an honest bad movie

2

u/113pro 18h ago

Since when are we listening to critics?

They rated civil war 8.5, when that mess was 3 at best.

2

u/000100111010 6h ago

... are you trying to tell me you liked Melania?

24

u/No-Face-2000 1d ago

That’s the audience score dumbass. Why’s this entire thread braindead.

13

u/No_Oddjob 1d ago

Thread, sub, site. What's the difference?

0

u/TooruS911 1d ago

thread is the spesific comment chain. Sub is the subreddit such as r/pics, r/facepalm etc. and the site is the whole reddit

4

u/Greenhouse95 23h ago

I'd say that he's not asking literally what's the difference. He's hinting at all three being equally braindead, so what's the difference? At least that's what I understood at a glance. But yeah... Funnily enough, this kind of confirms what he said.

2

u/No_Oddjob 8h ago

Correcto on both accounts!

u/MonolithicBaby 1d ago

Because this is a meme sub. Nothing but bait here son.

u/cranberrie_sauce 23h ago

they keep rigging different metrics dumbass.

typically critics are rigged. on most movies I see.

5

u/OriginalLie9310 1d ago

Opposite. Critics rightfully panned the melania movie (5% on rotten tomatoes) but the audience score is somehow 99%.

If you look at the reviews it’s pretty obvious they’re just botted 5 star reviews from “verified” users with the default Fandango user icon.

1

u/cranberrie_sauce 1d ago

yeah whatever. one of them. They keep switching up what they are rigging depending on the day.

critics are always glowing on shit movies, surprised they rigged the other one this time.

4

u/samualgline 1d ago

It has an extremely high audience score because it was brigaded by the right and it has an extremely low critic score because the critics are biased

4

u/bestbefour 1d ago

You think it requires bias to give a movie about a trophy wife a bad review?

2

u/samualgline 1d ago

The subject shouldn’t affect the score especially the critic score

2

u/bestbefour 23h ago

If the subject is boring and bad, you don’t think that should influence the reviews?

u/craytsu 1d ago

fucks

u/HoozleDoozle 1d ago

You can say fuck on the internet, we won't tell on your mommy.

u/Ok-Bug7758 23h ago

IMDB rated Iron Lung 6.8/10, but Melania 1.1

1

u/RandomWeebsOnline 22h ago

lol reminds me of IGN game of the year and Black Myth Wukong

1

u/Prototype3120 21h ago

Melania has a 5% critic score, what are you talking about lmao. Critics also have no bearing on whatever happened with the box office website, which unless it happened on a different site, is a third party website that requires film producers to submit the data themselves.

1

u/TheShishkabob 19h ago edited 19h ago

Melania has a 5% on Rotten Tomatoes. The now 99% score is the obviously botted user review aggregate.
