Gladiator 2 is now odds-on to be rated over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes
Ahead of next month's highly anticipated sequel to Gladiator being released, UK Betting Sites are now offering odds on how highly rated Gladiator 2 will be when it comes out.
Rotten Tomatoes is self described as the "most trusted measurement of quality for Movies & TV" and is many people's go-to site for film ratings and odds are given on what score the new Gladiator film will receive on there.
The first Gladiator film has an 80% Tomatometer score from the 259 critic reviews that have been posted on the site and the betting odds suggest that the new sequel will rate much higher.
Paddy Power's latest market makes it odds-on at 8/15 that Gladiator 2 will receive a total score inbetween 90% - 100% by December 22nd, more than a month after it is released.
Those odds give an implied probability of 65.2% that the movie is rated that highly with the Paul Mescal release expected to be a big Box Office smash.
| Gladiator 2 Rotten Tomatoes score (on Dec 22nd) | Probability | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| 90% - 100% | 8/15 | 65.2% |
| 81% - 90% | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| 71% - 80% | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| 61% - 70% | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| 60% and less | 12/1 | 7.7% |
What the expert says...
Long awaited sequel set to be released next month
Gladiator 2 is set to be released on November 22 with the Ridley Scott directed sequel already looking like it'll be one of the biggest sequels in recent cinema history.
The original Gladiator is consistently spoken about in conversations around it being one of the best films of all time with the movie winning Best Picture and Best Actor (for Russell Crowe's performance) at the 73rd Academy Awards.
Paul Mescal will play the main role in the sequel and all eyes will be on the Oscars nominations to see if he'll be nominated for Best Actor for the second time in his career after 'Aftersun' in 2023.
