Lower interest than the marvels? I doubt it.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 20 points 6 days ago

The Marvels had a target audience that didn't watch the movie, and a "wrong" audience that watched it and didn't like it.

This movie seems to have no hype at all in no audience group.

CinemaScore doesn't measure interest

Isn't that what it does?

CinemaScore® is the industry leader in measuring movie appeal among theatre audiences.

You could've literally just kept on reading the next sentences to have your question answered

Since 1978, CinemaScore has been polling moviegoers at major movie releases on opening night to collect demographic information and calculate a distinctive CinemaScore grade.

They're not measuring the interest of potential audiences in seeing a movie, they are measuring the response of people that have seen it.
