I think Star Wars: The Last Jedi has the best technical stuff for a Star Wars movie thus far. Because of this, it might be the first Star Wars movie to win an Academy Award since Jedi (83)

So when is this due? Are we supposed to rank these and message it in? Why wasn't mother! nominated for BP? Nvm. Is this the complete ballot?

I wanted to post predictions for about 20 movies outside the top ten, but there is no theater counts for Ferdinand or I, Tonya, therefore now I will not share anything

is Annihilation tracking well? On paper, it looked great. I'm feeling half the OW of Arrival...

.

any idea what to put for Samson in the derby? I am starting to loose my faith in the legitimacy of reported numbers. Good thing that is just my problem and no one elses =).

.

will Thor, Coco, or Star Wars get the bump? Justice League???

it appears Fifty Shades retained the #1 spot.

last year seemed to have the best holds too when comparing Sunday/Friday. the ratings will prob be the same as last year.

If Peter Rabbit does not go all crazy like Lego Batman, then mmaybe there will be less damage to the theater count drops. Super Bowl weekend is usually the max out for theater counts. Each weekend throughout January, you get a bunch of non-event films and expansions, and theaters wanting to hold onto all kinds of good stuff for fun. The total theater counts just keep growing until Super Bowl weekend, then it stays level. Last year, it got to be 47,000 and this year it should bust way past that. someone could add all the TC's, because my calculator is broken. Week after Super Bowl gets the Valentine's Day product of 10,000 theater counts + extra. 42,000 would be the number to look for next weekend. But if this weekend goes to 48 or 49 thousand, then there goes excess screens and all our favorite movies this weekend get pummeled this weekend and are in discount theaters the week after. However, like the first statement, if Peter Rabbit does not go crazy, then more screens for different films will stay. I could see Fifty Shades Freed getting alot more prints than the one last year. I think last year was like underestimated and it sold out the nation during night time. Double those prints (except no one will show up next week for #3).

looks like next week will see the depletion of 11,000 screens from new product + an additional 5500 screens gone. The only way it will probably be less than an additional minus 5500 screens is if some of the awards ones like Phantom Thread continue to expand. Most likely, all the awards movies will do great on Saturday, and then loose half the theaters next week but still manage to post a good Sunday number (next week, no super bowl and half the screens = same sunday # as this week when Sundays drop about 66.6% from Saturday, or sometimes even from half of the Friday #. It looks like The Post should increase 75% tomorrow, and then drop to about half of what it does today. Greatest Showman should be like 60% of Friday, min.

just like Divergent 3, MR3 has massive competition for week #2

Maybe Winchester does well? It seems usually mystery house horror/thriller might be 50/50 polarizing. The Disappointments Room being the most recent (Tulip Fever). However, due to the California setting, this castle set supernatural drama might scare in some people with an average similar to the adjusted averages of The Glass House and An American Haunting http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=glasshouse.htm&adjust_yr=2018&p=.htm http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=americanhaunting.htm&adjust_yr=2018&p=.htm Still, if reviews hit and write this one off as a boring supernatural biopic that cannot figure itself out, then WOM might suffer on the spot and you might just get a 3-5 million Saturday followed by the Sunday collapse.

I never got around to this. Investing either money or time into my profile here for the promotion of nominating Milla Jovovich for Favorite Hero - Resident Evil: Final Chapter. Did she ever get a nomination within these annuals for any of the former years playing Alice? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000170/awards?ref_=nm_awd

I find revisiting older movies can be a satisfying experience. If your not really feeling any new serious movies, and you have no idea what else to see, revisiting decades like 2008, 1998,1988 etc always seemed to grab my time and make it worthwhile. Also, maybe you should try reewatching Good Night and Good Luck, Imitation Game, Theory of Everything, The King's Speech, or Frost/Nixon. You never knw..... someone times it helps to watch Good Night and Good Luck a second time years later, but with someone else and with a different POV. it is like you come away with a different experience which matches whatever you 100% got out of it on just that sole viewing. its happened w me before

anyone know why Call Me By Your Name only has reported Monday holiday grosses? http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=callmebyyourname.htm Theater counts went up 50% from those previous two Mondays, where as the per theater average dropped by 50%. Looks like the weekend grosses might stay around the 1m mark no matter how far they push the theater count. it should probably double it's gross though to 15 million IMO
