Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy recently shared his thoughts on the Rotten Tomatoes rating for the movie “The Housemaid,” starring Sydney Sweeney. The film currently boasts a 92% “popcorn” score on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating that the majority of viewers found it enjoyable for its performances and entertainment value. However, Portnoy seems to disagree with this consensus.
In a tweet on Saturday, Portnoy expressed his disbelief at the high rating, calling it “disgusting” and questioning if there is any humanity left in the world. Despite the positive reception from viewers, some critics have pointed out flaws in the movie, criticizing its convoluted and forgettable plot. Portnoy’s skepticism adds to the mixed reactions surrounding “The Housemaid.”
Despite the varying opinions, the movie has been a huge financial success. With a budget of $35 million, it has already grossed between $356 million and $359 million worldwide, including substantial earnings in the U.S. and internationally.
In a separate incident, Portnoy suffered a significant loss after placing a $50,000 bet on the New England Patriots to win Super Bowl LVI. Unfortunately, the Patriots were defeated by the Seattle Seahawks, leading to Portnoy losing out on a potential $1.8 million return. Despite the loss, Portnoy acknowledged the Seahawks’ performance and expressed hope for the Patriots’ future roster improvements.
As the Patriots look to bounce back from the Super Bowl defeat and make improvements in the offseason, fans, including Portnoy, will be eagerly anticipating a strong comeback in the next season. With the team’s standout quarterback expected to lead the charge, hopes are high for another Super Bowl run in the near future.
