Can we just sue the entire MPAA for false advertising when they say this about every single movie? I mean we can observably show when they're nowhere near as successful as previous movies that year, to say nothing of when multiple movies are simultaneously advertised that way.

MPAA doesn't have anything to do that. It's the studio's advertising.
Oh right.
Still. I mean that feels like a really risky claim to be making, whoever's making it.
It doesn't say #1 in what.
Being #1 movie for a week= you can call yourself the #1 movie in America.
Happens in Canada too.
happens everywhere.
At this point, I just ignore critical blurbs. They use the same ones to the point of meaninglessness.
It's all over really. Like the usual "4 out of 5 dentist recommend Trident" (brand picked at random)
They don't tell you it's "out of 5 dentists who would recommend a gum at all coz the first 20 just told you to not chew gum to begin with".
I don't really mind as much when they at least say a movie got praise from a specific critic or magazine or something. I mean at least at some point there was presumably a dude somewhere who said "yeah I like this", dubious as their tastes might be.
I highly doubt, however, that much positive was ever said about half the movies that use this line.
