10 Movies That Had MASSIVE Tomatometer Drops

Initial Score: 100%

Final Score: 37% (63% drop)

But no film in history has fallen from the critical graces as violently - or deservedly - as 2016's Blair Witch reboot-sequel, which was shot in secret under the title "The Woods."

The film premiered at Comic-Con 2016 under that original title, serving as a surprise for screening attendees who quickly relayed the news to the rest of the world after the screening.

Those few formal reviews published following the premiere were largely universally positive raves, with Bloody Disgusting's trailer quote even calling it "one of the scariest movies ever made."

This resulted in Blair Witch holding a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score for the six weeks between its Comic-Con premiere and its next screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, ensuring the hype train had zoomed from the station.

But following its TIFF screening and public release a few days later, a more dire critical consensus began to form, with the film dropping a staggering 63% to settle on 37%.

If Lionsgate were hoping that their sneaky hype-building would result in box office glory similar to the 1999 original, they were in for a rude awakening, as Blair Witch was a commercial disappointment despite turning a modest profit, killing the studio's interest in a sequel in the process.
