Incarnadine

I hope that when the first negative review comes in it's not one of those "meh" barely negative kind kind of reviews, I want the first one to be a full on vitriolic trashing of the movie, those are much more fun to read.

Still 100% after 65 reviews. I figured it would be fresh, but I wasn't expecting anything like this after this many reviews. I'll be seeing this tomorrow for sure,

They really don't resemble Emma and Ryan, but I like them because I appreciate the effort, and it's pretty good marketing and promotion.

It seems I'm not the only one here that feels that bit of casting news has made the movie much more interesting.

It's definitely Emma. She actually got her start singing, in The New Partridge Family VHS1 competition when she still went by Emily (she won the role of Laurie Partridge, but they only filmed a pilot, but it got Emma her SAG card)

They were both good enough. Emma actually has a pretty good singing voice when she can belt it out like Knock on Wood in Easy A, Cabaret and the second half of Audition. She does tend to sound breathy when she sings more softly.

Really? The US version is 106min. I'm pretty sure there was more than 7 minutes of " bloody scenes, zombie-killing scenes and fighting scenes ". It was more like 7 minutes without those scenes.

So, a 6 minute short then?

I think $400m WW is almost locked now. There should be another $20+m left domestic (assuming it wins BP), holdovers still doing well and Denmark, Norway and Japan all about to open this week. Anyone know how musicals do in Japan? Edit- I just looked a few Japan runs and it looks promising. Mamma Mia- $27.6m Chicago- $27.4m Les Miserables- $62.1m Moulin Rouge- $8.4m

Yay, A Dog's Purpose passed $50m domestic today ($50.68m). The movie did amazingly well considering the BS sabotage job it had to overcome. LLL had another amazing hold despite losing almost another 25% of its screens. What to say about JW2, $100M is still on the table, it's all up to the holds the next couple of weeks. I was a bit worried about those ridiculous early estimates in the $12m range

Yeah, it would be nice in the sense of passing the torch, but I can see how it could get awkward if someone wins back to back and had to present to themselves.

I wish the list had who will be presenting what, I'm really hoping Brie Larson presents Best Actress, Emma and Brie are both so adorable.

Odd that they weren't mentioned. http://deadline.com/2017/02/oscars-leonardo-dicaprio-brie-larson-mark-rylance-alicia-vikander-presenters-1201899594/

Awesome for JW2. After today it should only be about 700k behind the domestic total of the first JW ($43.037m). $100M is looking more and more likely with these excellent weekday numbers.

Make it a double feature.

That China number really surprises me, I really didn't expect LLL to be a hit there for some reason. I don't really follow China boxoffice trends, so does anyone know what kind of total LLL could be looking at with an opening day like that?

LLL passes $300m WW with a surprisingly large opening in China, $12.5m on opening day (including $1.7m from Sunday previews). http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2017/02/14/as-la-la-land-tops-300-million-why-musicals-are-a-solid-box-office-bet/#6ded3edf5b0f

I think he Oh, and I also think

That was my first thought too. Technically, there could be 11 villains.

One of the best moments in the movie...

Maybe it's just preferences. Hardy has done good work and has commercial success, but he always seems to play similar types of characters, which he's good at and I feel both Emma and Andrew Garfield would have been better choices, but I will admit that's with 20/20 hindsight and both were only just starting to show their potential. Kristen, well, I see her as completely one note. I can't recall her ever leaving her comfort zone, but she was very much in the public eye the year she won, but Mulligan would have been by far a better choice.

It has been a good year for Emma, just one to go...

I'm just glad LLL took the 3 big categories it was expected to (Best Actress, Director and Picture), after that it was just gravy. Apart from LLL's 5 wins, everything else was spread out all over the place.
