And now for today’s lesson in institutionalised misogyny.

Today’s news: Ghostbusters ‘tanks’, ‘stumbles’ with 53% drop in its second week.

Presumably that’s a bad performance compared to other action movies in their second week then?

Let’s check…

• Captain America: Civil War: -59.5%
  
• Dark Knight: -52%
  
• Amazing Spider Man: -61%
  

Oh, and for an example of an actual ‘tanking’:

• Batman vs Superman: -69%
  

Now, let’s examine all the reporting last week that Ghostbusters was going to struggle because of its first week multiplier against its budget…

Ghostbusters first weekend US figures: $46m
It had a $144m budget, so in its first week it made 32% of that.
Descriptions: ‘Lacklustre’, ‘problematic’, ‘will haunt Sony’

Star Trek Beyond first weekend US figures: $59.6m
It had a $189m budget, so in its first week it made 30% of its budget.
Reporting: ‘Dominates’, ‘wins big’

To be clear: there are articles describing both movies’ openings as ‘solid’. But there’s basically no one calling Beyond worrying or Ghostbusters a big win.

So. ‘Nuff said?

Current scores on rotten tomatoes:

Civil war: 90% critics / 90% audiences

Dark knight: 94% critics / 94% audiences

Spider-Man: 73% critics / 77% audiences

BatmanSuperman: 27% critics / 65% audiences

Star Trek beyond: 84% critics / 85% audiences

Ghostbusters: 73% critics / 58% audiences
