Kudos for using the present tense not the future

And of course the conditional or subjunctive moods for an expected soon to be event but of course schedules could change. The release hasn't happened yet. This is in total keeping with encyclopedias :-)

"mixed reviews"

Metacritic is ~~cited~~ almost cited for saying the film received "mixed" reviews. Metacritic does not say that. It says the film received "mixed or average" reviews.

IMO, "average" reviews could means several things: 100 critics say the film was about average (neither good not bad, middle of the road) or, they might be saying that the overall critical scores were, when taken as a whole, middle of the pack: 20 critics gave it an A, 20 a B, 20 a C, 20 a D, 20 an F, for an average grade of C - "Average". 50 Bs and 50 Ds or 100 Cs would give the same.

"Mixed", OTOH, would mean there were roughly equal numbers of good and bad reviews, perhaps with some middling reviews thrown in.

We do not know the specifics of their methodology, only that they said "mixed or average". If you would like to use "mixed" and exclude "average", please explain why we shouldn't use "average" instead, as it would be just as accurate. - SummerPhD^v2.0 14:30, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would be perfectly fine with using "average" as well, however I am opposed to quoting Metacritic as it gives them too much weight in my opinion. The tendency for summaries is to use positive, mixed, or negative. Truthfully, I'd be fine with cutting it out altogether and just leading with the RT and Metacritic scores (like at Mad Max: Fury Road). Sock (~~tock~~ talk) 14:32, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "average" is any more justified than "mixed". I believe they are equally weak. The hidden instruction insisted "mixed" is drawn from Metacritic. It is, but very poorly so. IMO, cutting it altogether is the best approach: "Let the sources speak for themselves." - SummerPhD^v2.0 14:40, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Horrible Bosses 2

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Horrible Bosses 2's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "mojo":

From That's My Boy (2012 film): That's My Boy at Box Office Mojo
From Jennifer Aniston: "Wanderlust". Box Office Mojo. Internet Movie Database.
From Mortdecai (film): "Mortdecai (2014)". Box Office Mojo. Internet Movie Database. Retrieved November 2, 2015.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:03, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
