US Edition‘Mercy’ Rotten Tomatoes Scores Break A Common Chris Pratt Narrative
- Timur Bekmambetov's Mercy led weekend box office, estimated at $12.6 million from 3,468 locations, ending Avatar: Fire and Ash's seven-week reign.
- Weather-Related advisories kept many would-be moviegoers home as a severe winter storm prompted stay-home advisories across much of the U.S., reducing domestic theaters attendance despite B- CinemaScore audience exits.
- Rotten Tomatoes shows a stark critic–audience split for Mercy, with a 20% critic score and an 81% audience score reflecting the recurring 'Pratt Gap' pattern.
- Even without the storm, Mercy isn't expected to have much box-office legs beyond this weekend, and final weekend totals will be updated Sunday morning.
- Despite critics, audience appeal keeps Chris Pratt in demand, with projects like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and The Terminal List season 2, similar to The Rock's crowd-pleasing image.
