Will the upcoming comedy I Want Your Sex have a higher Popcornmeter rating than The Invite's 91%?
82% of users predicted NO — the community got this one right. 34 predictions cast.
'I Want Your Sex,' Gregg Araki's erotic comedy starring Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman, and Charli XCX, opened in theaters July 31, 2026 to strong critical notices -- a certified-fresh Tomatometer score in the high 80s to 90% range -- but its Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter audience score settled at 60%, short of the 91% posted by 'The Invite.'
Critics praised the film's provocative tone and performances, with reviewers including NPR describing it as a bold entry aimed at younger audiences. Audience reaction was more divided, a common split for Araki's work, which has historically polarized general moviegoers even when it earns critical acclaim.
The gap between critical and audience reception reflects the film's niche appeal: an explicit, stylistically unconventional comedy competing for audience scores against a more broadly accessible film in 'The Invite.' Early box office returns for 'I Want Your Sex' were also reported as soft, consistent with a narrower audience base than its reviews alone would suggest.
The community leaned heavily toward "no" on this question (82% predicted the Popcornmeter would not exceed 91%), and the outcome confirmed that expectation.
