100 million is still reachable for Life of Pi right?Parental Guidance, Jack Reacher and This is 40 are doing well enough

I feel the same way and people will only remember this as the movie in which Kristin Stewart had an affair with the director

Spielberg gave me Jurassic Park while Cameron gave me Titanic. Two iconic movies of my childhood that I will always fondly remember True and well any Hollywood child/.teen actor who grows up without a DUI arrest or drug issue or any scandal deserves praise (and their parents/guardians as well)

Hoping for Looper.If Ruby Sparks had a better ending, I would've rooted it for as well. It was compelling but the ending was disappointing but in general it was a good script by Zoe Kazan

My predictions:SpielbergBigelowAffleckO'RussellLee

Community already won an Emmy although it's for a technical one for their Christmas claymation episode.I'm impressed with Cloud Atlas' make up but I guess it was TOO OVERWHELMING for the academy, I don't know

My dark horse for the win is Hawkes just for the sheer difficulty of the role but DDL's going to win easily. I don't think the voters would mind giving a 3rd Oscar to a role as universally acclaimed as this. Plus the box office success of Lincoln helps a LOT as well I always love when actors I saw first on TV break out on films and awards, one of the reasons why I was so happy with Melissa McCarthy's nomination last year

I think Quvenzhane's chances at this point is low although I hope she can still make it. People are forgetting Helen Mirren, she scored a Globe and most importantly a SAG nod despite the movie's, lukewarm reception. Here's my predictions:ChastainLawrenceWattsMirrenCotillard (or Riva)I still think Streep's Hope Springs performance is nomination worthy (I like it better than her performances in Iron Lady and Doubt) but well she seated this one out. If she didn't win last year or Sony at campaigned, she's an easy nod.

I hope Leo makes it

If Perks fails to get WGA nod then it's over. But I really hope if gets in, I'm already seeing FYC ads on Oscar-centric blogs

Well Jennifer Hudson won for one showstopper number so it's very possible for Anne. But the reviews for Les Mis put a dent on her chances from unbeatable to just a vulnerable frontrunner

Kidman was terrific in Rabbit Hole.I hope Amy Adams could still score a nod, the SAG snub was surprising and could really hurt

My predictions I'm going with 9 just like last year1. Argo2. Lincoln3, Zero Dark Thirty4. Silver Linings Playbook5. Les Miserables6. Django Unchained7. Life of Pi8. Best Exotic Marigold Hotel9. The Master (I think those who really LOVED it could be enough for a 5% vote)

Agree with Extremely Loud, I understand why people don't like it but it's not as bad its online reputation tells it so.If there's an Extremely Loud shocker nominee lurking in I'm betting on Looper

Brave's story might be weak to some but the technical aspect is really impressive and should be enough for a nomination.I think Disney's PR is promoting Frankenweenie more than WIR for the Oscar win is because it is a box office failure and it winning an Oscar is something that they could use to promote it for DVD/Bluray sales and probably being an Oscar winner could also help when licensing the film's rights to TV channels for a higher price. Just guessing here

Manigong Bagong Taon!Opening next weekJack Reacher - Jan. 8Life of Pi - Jan. 9Zero Dark Thirty - Jan. 11

Browsing through BOM's full list of actuals. I'm surprised Finding Nemo 3D, Odd Life and Frankenweenie are still in theaters. Odd Life is such a moderate success for Disney, $51 million is very solid for this one. Too bad they cancelled international screenings and went to straight to video instead. Frankenweenie will likely stay in theaters for quite awhile thanks to Oscar buzz

Too bad for Flight, if it had more screens during its OW it would have crossed 100 million by now but still $91 is very goodThis is 40's performance is solid, it will make more than its budget now. Guilt Trip will have a tough time matching its budget. Parental Guidance will be profitable now.Silver Linings Playbook's performance is still impressive, I hope it could keep up when its finally released nationwideHoping for $180 million finish for Wreck-It Ralph. Rise of the Guardians will crawl to $100 million just like Princess and the Frog before (but that didn't have 3D advantage). Such a shame but at least it's not a box office disaster like Happy Feet 2 but just a disappointmentGo Argo!

Silver Linings Playbook still doing fine numbers but I'm quite nervous for it when it finally goes wide, I hope it won't disappoint

Impressive for Django

It's just like when people were "disappointed" when Skyfall's OW was not 100 milion as the early guesstimates said

I hope this holds up

Maligayang Pasko!No foreign movies (except The Hobbit on IMAX screens) until Jan. 7 for the MMFF.

Disney jumped the gun with these 3D re-releases when Lion King 3D became a success, the situation was so different back then
