Brad Pitt, Kim Kardashian, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lawrence have all starred in movies so bad audiences gave them a bottom F rating from market research firm CinemaScore

It's taken more than two years for audiences to hate a movie as much as Darren Aronofsky's controversial 2017 film, Mother!

That movie received an F grade on CinemaScore, the lowest grade a movie can get at the site, which surveys audiences on a movie’s opening night.

The most recent film to receive an F from audiences is The Grudge, a reboot of the 2004 horror movie (which was a remake of the 2002 Japanese film). A reboot of a remake flopping with audiences isn’t a shock, but the magnitude is.

Only 20 movies have received an F since CinemaScore launched a website in 1999 (it originally began polling audiences in 1978). Other F-rated films include Nicolas Cage’s The Wicker Man and Disaster Movie, which lived up to its title.

Below are the 20 films to receive an F rating from CinemaScore (along with their Rotten Tomatoes critic scores for comparison):

Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 16 per cent

The latest Grudge movie earned US$11 million domestically over the weekend, above studio estimates. But it is likely to struggle in the coming weeks due to bad word of mouth.
