family.guy123 Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Since they became public in 1986 Quote Harold Mintz, President of CinemaScore, hailed the achievement as “unprecedented.” In his own words: “Jon Erwin has now achieved four A+ CinemaScores, more than any other filmmaker since we have been compiling data. For a director to achieve that accomplishment once is a rarity. But to hit that mark four times is not only an incredible distinction — it’s unprecedented. Congratulations to Jon and Brent McCorkle and the entire team at Kingdom Story Company.” https://collider.com/jesus-revolution-domestic-box-office-15-million/ Edited February 27, 2023 by family.guy123
Delirious Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 They only make Christian movies. It's not that hard to get A+ when youre making low effort brainwashing films like this.

Haven’t watched any of his movies so I can’t comment on the “brainwashing” comment.
family.guy123 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Posted February 27, 2023 Also I think the President of the organization would know what’s up

Critics don’t know ****. Be serious lmao. My best friend went to film school and he’s a pretentious hack. I wouldn’t trust his opinion on anything arts related. Replace your first paragraph with Marvel jargon. Same ****, yet marvel’s audiences don’t always give their movies A+.

family.guy123 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Posted February 27, 2023 I also just looked up a bunch of other Christian movies cinemascores and they don’t all have A+ so… what else do you have to discredit this achievement?
lmnoc1 Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) ehhhh wait... the Christian movie director that mostly panders to the middle class GOP families in the US? Stuff like I Can Only Imagine are very local here in the US, especially the South. I mean they do have good critics reviews, especially for these good fatih and family content, but nothing amazing Is this audience voted? Edited February 27, 2023 by lmnoc1

I mean these are extremely "Safe" movie, nothing too abstract, artistic, controvertial, or thought provoking. And "felt good" and "good faith" are almost the purpose the movie. Also CinemaScore only include movies with over 1500 north america screens openning, which is probably a bigger reason to the unexpected achievement, because the "likely more artist" movies, the ones we heard during award seasons, weren't rated, as the website is only meant for potential box office smashes. I think its one of those achievements with a lot of conditional statments to be considered, because many people automatically draw eqivalent between good movies and artistic values when they heard news like this.
zasderfght Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) CinemaScore is audience-rated. And yes, if you appeal to your target audience to the extent that, most likely, your target audience is the only crowd that's going to show up, it's not surprising your film will get consistently good, if not, great CinemaScores. An A+ is still impressive, but as another user pointed, this would not be as impressive as a mainstream filmmaker getting consistent A+s or a niche filmmaker such as Darren Aronofsky.
