I just rewatched it, and I’m not seeing a huge discrepancy between this and Mamma Mia, which came out just a year later. They’re both ‘jukebox musicals’ of extremely popular groups, with comparable production qualities. While the ratings for AtU were slightly better… you would never be able to tell based on the box office outcomes. So, what gives?
Metacritic:
Mamma Mia
Critic Score - 51
User Score - 6.6
Across the Universe
