There was already a ton of excitement surrounding "Weapons." The fact the early reviews have it at 100% is going to send things through the roof.
It's also a sign that people really resonate with fresh and original ideas. Hollywood needs to stop repacking old stories and pumping out superhero films. Nobody wants to see that garbage anymore.
Feed us fun and entertaining ideas we haven't seen before, and audiences will respond. Look no further than the success of "Sinners" for proof of that fact.
