Star Wars: The Last Jedi may be a critical darling and the presumed savior of the 2017 box office, but it has some work to do with audiences, according to an article in Quartz. Despite its excellent 92% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie is scoring a lackluster 52% with site users, a number shockingly bested by Netflix’s Bright. The Will Smith Netflix vehicle has achieved just a 30% critic rating and inspired some truly unsavory reviews, but has scored an enviable 90% with audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Consumer reviews may not matter like the box office does for The Last Jedi, but the joy with which subscribers are seemingly welcoming Bright into their homes is a huge win for Netflix in its first attempt at blockbuster filmmaking.
