Spin it, boys!
I am Frog and I am willing to bet my avatar that the Mario movie will not get above 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. Why?
1) The average Rotten Tomatoes score across all Illumination movies is 63%. Removing the outlier of Hop (24%), the average becomes 66%, which is still below 70%. You can calculate and see for yourself.
2) Out of 49 video game adaptations tracked by Rotten Tomatoes, only two have gotten over 70% on the Tomatometer. That's just over 4% of all video game movies that have crossed the 70% line. Of particular relevance, both Sonic movies and the Detective Pikachu movie did not break the 70% barrier on Rotten Tomatoes.
Remember that the percent score indicates the proportion of critics who liked the movie, not the average numerical score.
If the Tomatometer score for the Mario movie is under 70%, people in Team Above 70% will have to use an avatar of my choosing for a week.
If the Tomatometer score for the Mario movie is above or equal to 70%, people in Team Under 70% will have to use an avatar chosen by Team Above 70%.
After the social media impressions embargo lifts, no more bets will be accepted.
The review embargo for the Mario movie is lifted on April 4 at 12 PM PDT/3 PM EDT. The winning team will be determined by the Tomatoscore 7 days after the embargo. However, there will be a mercy rule. If the Tomatometer is 80% or above 24 hours after embargo, Team 70 and Above will win automatically. If the Tomatometer is 60% or below 24 hours after embargo, Team Under 70 will win automatically.
Team Under 70%
