This article just shows you how out of touch with actors and Hollywood is with your normal person. Did any middle class citizen, with kids, honestly think A Minecraft Movie would not be profitable? All my son and his friends want to do it play Minecraft, we have to monitor his amount of play very closely. Does anyone actually consider Rotten Tomatoes’ ratings anymore?

Do you know how many Minecraft shirts I have purchased at Good Will? Every time we go to the library it either a Minecraft book or something related to superheroes.

Direct Quotes:

Before it hit theaters in early April, few people believed A Minecraft Movie could be profitable.

Critics were even less impressed, as A Minecraft Movie debuted with mixed reviews, leading to a "rotten" 53% score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, none of those things mattered because to say A Minecraft Movie exceeded expectations is an understatement. After nearing $1 billion at the box office, A Minecraft Movie is now a major global hit on streaming, too, FlixPatrol reveals.

The only countries where A Minecraft Movie didn't reach No. 1 were the Netherlands and Sweden. In the U.S., A Minecraft Movie debuted strongly at the top of the charts.

A Minecraft Movie was a true box office hit, and currently the highest-grossing film from Hollywood. Although it missed the $1 billion mark, the adventure movie grossed $946.8 million worldwide (via The Numbers) against a budget of $150 million. This was a huge success for Warner Bros.

Since its debut with 53% from the critics, the fantasy adventure's critics' score further fell to 48%. However, it received a more than thrilling response from moviegoers. A Minecraft Movie enjoys an 85% approval on the Popcornmeter, a score that explains the film's popularity.

South Korea’s renowned online video streaming service Tving has achieved a breakthrough on a global scale with its original series “Death’s Game.” Initially perceived as a domestic production with a full Korean cast, this drama has transcended expectations, gaining substantial international acclaim. This success has not only bolstered Tving’s reputation but has also proven its mettle on a global…

Here are the things that actually matter to streamers:

We don't have access to 2, but we do have a reputable source that lists 1: Nielsen, so we can fact check FlixPatrol against that.

Edit: Sorry, anon. I reread your ask and I've got to reword my answer because I must have been asleep when I read it the first time. LOL!

But yes, I imagine it's very hard to differentiate between positive and negative attention. I would imagine the data is pulled from algorithms that basically use keyword searches to determine how often something is being discussed. And because GK is SO bad, and it's attracted the attention of comic fans (one of the largest fandoms out there), of course there are going to be a lot of people talking about it.

7 months ago (X) I said that Walker would edge out The Boys with 5 billion minutes per 20-episode season, based on Live SD+7Day, CW website and app, and rewatch value.  And this is just the domestic numbers for Walker vs The Boy domestic/foreign numbers.

My (very conservative) calculation is based on The Hollywood Reporter and Pedowitz interviews: 610 million minutes per quarter = 101,667 million minutes per episode divided by 60 minutes = 1.70 million viewers.  CW website and app gives Walker another 1.70 million viewers, a total of 3.40 million unique viewers.

3.4 mil viewers X 60 minutes x 20 episodes = 4.08 billion minutes.  Then add rewatch value (46% based on re-run ratings) and it easily pushes season 2’s total viewing minutes to 5.9 billion minutes, overtaking The Boy’s 2 numbers of 4.8 billion minutes. 

Reminder: Walker’s 4.08 to 5.9 billion minutes for season 2 does not include HBOMax and foreign numbers. Once you add those then Walker would easily edge out The Boys season 3 numbers.

So how did my speculation pan out 7 months later?

Let's use data from Showbuzz Daily and Spoiler TV for 15 reruns and 20 new episodes that have aired so far:

My super conservative calculation:

SD+7Day for 15 reruns + 20 new episodes * 60 minutes = 2.59 billion minutes

CW website and App = 2.59 billion minutes

Total = 5.18 billion minutes.   See, my speculation was very close.
