AMERICA RELEASES
Nothing.
That’s it for this week. Australia’s Rotten Tomatoes average was a “Rotten” 34% while America had nothing so I guess Australia won this week.
WINNER: AUSTRALIA
The highest rated movie was Evil Dead with a “Fresh” 62% and the lowest rated movie was The Host with a “Rotten” 9%. Do you plan on picking up any of these films? Comment below and be sure to come back next week to see what you can buy on blue.
