I'm still bitter about never finding a Remains of the Day lunch box. Edit - 1993 was an outrageously good year for movies. The Matrix might have been right about the '90s being the peak of human civilization. Normally with these lists, "What were the best, or at least, good, movies of the year?" lasts to about #15-ish and then it slides into "What movies were the least bad/least embarrassing to list?" with a few joke entries at the end. With 1993, its steak all the way through. 1. Jurassic Park 2. Schindler’s List 3. Groundhog Day 4. Mrs Doubtfire 5. Falling Down 6. Tombstone 7. In the Name of the Father 8. Demolition Man 9. The Piano 10. Dave 11. The Sandlot 12. Philadelphia 13. Short Cuts 14. The Firm 15. Carlito's Way 16. The Fugitive 17. Much Ado About Nothing 18. The Nightmare Before Christmas 19. The Age of Innocence 20. What's Love got to do with it? 21. In the Line of Fire 22. Benny and Joon 23. Addams Family Values 24. Menace 2 Society 25. Farewell, My Concubine 26. True Romance 27. Hot Shots! Part Deux 28. Sleepless in Seattle 29. So, I Married an Axe Murderer (in a wild coincidence, I was living in SF when it was filmed and they filmed the butcher shop scene in Meats of the World, a butcher shop literally a block away from my apartment) 30. Remains of the Day (Ok, I never saw it, but I still want my lunch box)

SURVIVOR MUSHROOM KINGDOM Episode Six: "Kamek's Library"
Wrath replied to SLAM!'s topic in Box Office Survivor
Wow! Agafin again with the defensive stands, and Jack with the secondary defensive stands! When I wished everyone a good game, what I REALLY meant was that I *curse* the Goombas to failure and destruction! Muahahahah. Retroactively. -
SURVIVOR MUSHROOM KINGDOM Episode Four: "Daisy's Dojo"

Ah, nope, would have been Sparrow then. The funny thing is if Sparrow had also voted for you, then you 100% would have gotten to pick who was kicked out. -

Wow! What a dramatic finish! Avenge me, Ethan! Thanks for the fun game, Slam! -

I saw Soul on a plane flight and I remember thinking it was excellent. Might have been the one most screwed over by Covid, since it ended up getting a streaming release with minimal marketing support. -
SURVIVOR MUSHROOM KINGDOM Episode Three: "Toad's Garden"
Wrath replied to SLAM!'s topic in Box Office Survivor
Well, 44% in my case. Which turned out to be enough! I knew it'd be a busy week so I threw together some super-fast predicts really early on Monday or whatever, just so that I'd have SOMETHING down. Figured I'd come back and revise them later in the week. Never ended up getting a chance, so I'm glad I at least got those in! -

I dunno. Among Pixar's first 15 movies, A Bug's Life was probably the worst performer and it still did 162DOM and 330WW. And that was the WORST. Their next 6 were incredibly up and down at the box office, Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory, Cars 3 and Incredibles 2, Coco (which was fine but not huge) and Toy Story 4. So their numbers were overall still good, but the critical reception was clearly down from their earlier stuff, which, other than Cars 2, was basically immaculate. But their last 5 movies... Sure, Onward, Luca and Soul all got hosed by Covid at the box office, their critical reception was mostly very good (with Onward being a little worse and Lightyear worse than that) and Turning Red got streamed instead of a regular release. But none of them had any kind of cultural impact. The last Pixar movie that was huge because it was spectacular rather than because it was a sequel of something spectacular was, at best, Coco and really was probably 2015's Inside Out. After 20 years of being nearly perfect, they've now gone 8 years since their last year triumph. I personally would not bet on them re-achieving that past glory. -
SURVIVOR MUSHROOM KINGDOM Episode One: "Mario's Pipe Zone"
Wrath replied to SLAM!'s topic in Box Office Survivor
Team right in the middle and my score right in the middle. Going exactly according to plan. Ethan being poisoned is a bonus... -
Agreed. I WANT this movie to pull out the unlikely win, and the WoM is just good enough that, given perfect circumstances it might have done it. If this was 2 months ago and its biggest upcoming competition was Knock at the Cabin, 80 for Brady, and Magic Mike's Last Dance, it might have stabilized early and overachieved with great legs. But, A. 2 months ago Hasbro was in the midst of a HUGE fight with the D&D community and the marketing hadn't seriously started so it would have opened to like $9M, and B. It has the opposite of a perfect field as Super Mario launches this week and looks like an break-out hit. I think "epic bomb" is over stating it, but I do think it peters out a little under $100M and is viewed as a disappointment.
