To be fair, I haven't seen the movie yet. But at the level it's opening, and the intent of the studio to give it an Oscar push, I wouldn't assume too much based on opening weekend alone. Just my two cents, though.

Poor timing in the wake of ASIB since both target older viewers... First Man maybe even more so. I think FM will leg out just fine, though. Bohemian Rhapsody is the only thing that might dent it in the weeks to come, and that's distant enough not to be a concern, IMHO. I wish I could say $100M Domestic is guaranteed, but it still has a lot of life ahead with a big Oscar push coming in 2-3 months.

I appreciate the guts in making this club, @YourMother the Edgelord. I wouldn't have that kind of courage. But...

I literally never even thought about the fact that the trailer doesn't show the flag being planted. And then I went on the internet.

I haven't been to the theater as much as I would like to this summer, but I've seen a ton of ads for it -- both trailers and brief 30-second ads. With Universal backing it, I wouldn't worry at all about marketing. This will probably have some of the widest ad penetration of any non-Marvel movie in 2018 by the time we get to the holidays.

I agree 100%.

What's the difference between the two, in your opinion?

We meet again, shay.

True, but I think there's a legit argument that they apply to both in that case.

Very interesting/good observation. If that rules out films like Get Out and A Quiet Place, that would be a shame.

But, but... ~$600 million domestic!

This is my favorite GIF of the week.

Ah, dammit -- you are right, of course. I keep forgetting that since Spidey became part of the MCU. #Shame

I'm holding out hope! I really think Panther or I2 have legit chances at a BP nod. Leaning toward Panther.

Next year, they could have most of the nominees in that case. Captain Marvel Avengers 4 Lion King Spider-Man: FFH Episode 9 And those are just the safe to safe-ish bets...
