While “The Painter”continues to rank above several better-reviewed films, such as “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back”(37%) at No.8, its position on the chart may not be secure. Viewer interest, sparked by its availability on Paramount+, is evident, but the film currently holds a disappointing audience score of only 35% on Rotten Tomatoes. This suggests a general dissatisfaction among viewers, raising concerns that its popularity might diminish swiftly.
