How general audiences respond to the movie remains to be seen and may signal how successful it is. Currently, there are not enough audience reviews to assign a Popcornmeter score.
The Rotten Tomatoes score may discourage some audiences, butas more reviews come in, the number could always improve.However, if it declines, the overall box office will be worth checking out.
