10 Movies Whose CinemaScores Make No Sense

10. Child's Play (2019)

CinemaScore: C+

At first glance, a C+ doesn't seem that great of a score, but horror movies generally get lower scores on CinemaScore; as shown by Hereditary's measly D+ rating.

The C+ rating is actually more than expected for this film, not because it's particularly awful but due to how CinemaScore works.

As already mentioned CinemaScore gets audience members to fill out a ballot on the film's opening night. Presumably on the first night, the theatre was filled with die-hard Chucky fans, so it's remarkable to see this movie not get a D or even an F for completely changing the franchise.

When just one change is made to a popular series, there is usually a huge outcry (remember the response to the first Aladdin trailer when the Genie wasn't shown to be blue). This movie changed almost everything about the Child's play series, including turning Chucky into a robot as well as veering more into comedy than horror. Yet it still received the same score as the revolutionary first Saw movie.
