The CinemaScore is one of the major factors studios use to determine how well a movie will perform at the box office. Unlike Rotten Tomatoes, which calculates ratings based on the official reviews of critics, CinemaScore ratings are determined by polling ordinary moviegoers. The ratings can fall anywhere from A+ to F, and it’s pretty rare for a movie to be so universally disliked that it earns the dreaded “F” rating.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened with The Grudge, the latest American spinoff of the long-running Japanese horror series. But The Grudge isn’t alone. Several other big-name directors have seen their worked slammed with an “F” CinemaScore. From Solaris to mother! to Wolf Creek, here are some other films that placed at the very bottom of CinemaScore’s rankings (whether they deserved it or not).
