Eternals is one of those films that’s really interesting. Quite a bit of the film was cut in post-production, as exampled with a deleted scene below. And it wasn’t necessarily cut for the better.
The film’s sported a 48% on Rotten Tomatoes, the first film in the entire MCU with a “Rotten” score. It’s received a “B” grade on CinemaScore – and while that may seem good at first glance, it’s not. Due to the film’s negative criticism on social media from critics, the box office underperformed to a degree much lower than Hollywood’s original projections.
