THE AUDIENCE HAS SPOKEN. AND THEY LOVE EBENEZER WAY MORE THAN THE CRITICS DO. Johnny Depp's EBENEZER just did something nobody predicted. The critics are still split — Rotten Tomatoes sits at 53% from 115 reviews, up from 50% yesterday. Metacritic: 46 from critics. But look at the audience numbers: 🍿 Popcornmeter: 90% ⭐ Metacritic user score: 7.2/10 — "Generally Favorable" 90% of audiences loved it. The critics are at 53%. That's a 37-point gap — and it's growing. And the box office just proved the audiences right: $1.5M in Thursday previews, $7.1M on Friday, pacing for a $20M+ opening weekend. NUMBER ONE at the domestic box office — dethroning Godzilla Minus Zero. This is Johnny Depp's first No. 1 movie since Fantastic Beasts 2 in 2018. The consensus hasn't changed: Depp is magnetic. Film Threat gave it 8.5/10. The Telegraph scored it 80. Even the harshest critics — The Playlist at 16, Slant at 38 — agree on one thing: Depp's Scrooge is the best part of the film. The critics call it too faithful to Dickens. Too cautious. The audiences call it a Christmas ghost story worth seeing in theatres. On Friday the 13th, of all days, Ebenezer took the crown. Who were you with — the critics, or the 90%? #Ebenezer #HorrorMovies #BoxOffice (movieweb.com/ebenezer-box-of…) (metacritic.com/movie/ebeneze…) (rottentomatoes.com/m/ebeneze…)
