'Drive'
The ultra-violent Ryan Gosling drama has an impressive 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but a poor C- on CinemaScore. It seems critics enjoyed seeing Gosling stomp on people's heads more than viewers did. Image: FilmDistrict
'Boogie Nights'
It's hard to believe that the movie that made Mark Wahlberg a star earned only a C on CinemaScore. Critics loved it, though, giving it a fantastic 92 percent on Rottten Tomatoes and nominating it for three Oscars. Image: New Line Cinema
'The Princess Diaries'
Critics weren't fans of the Anne Hathaway-Julie Andrews comedy, giving it only a 47 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, and the CinemaScore of a C wasn't great, either. Yet viewers flocked to the family friendly film, and it eventually earned almost $170 million at the box office. Image: Buena Vista Pictures
'High Fidelity'
The John Cusack dramedy only earned a C- CinemaScore, but a whopping 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics called it "witty and exquisite." Take that, audience. Image: Buena Vista Pictures
'The American'
If you didn't like George Clooney's 2010 thriller, you weren't alone. It got an impressively bad D- Cinemascore, despite having a solid 66 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It seems even the allure of the Sexiest Man Alive wasn't enough to draw audiences into the film. Image: Focus Features
