The game is simple. Movies only. No foreign language. Predictions due at 5pm PST. Posts after 5pm will not be counted and edits after 5pm will lead to full disqualification. Rank each category and the one with the lowest total score wins. EXAMPLE. Director 1. Mad Max 2. Spotlight 3. Revenant 4. Carol 5. Martian Since Revenant won, you would get 3 points for that category. The goal is to get the least amount possible. The fun aspect of this game is to get inside of the minds of those who vote for the Golden Globes!!! There is no prize for winning. It is a small game (and last minute). I am willing to tally up all the scores and post the results but I wont be able to post on the computer until Monday. I will post my predictions and you can copy and paste and adjust to the ones you like. Best Picture - Drama 1. Moonlight 2. Manchester by the Sea 3. Lion 4. Hacksaw Ridge 5.

With Rogue One crumbling the way it has been, I fear next week Sing might take #1. If not, then surface at #1 for a few days.

could weplease expand the category 'most disappointing box office run' from 5 to 10 nominees?? There is so much going on this year for this category and this is a box office forum after all!

Just saw Lion today and I definitely think it will be in contention for a best picture award.

Michelle Williams was really good but she was not even in Manchester by the Sea that much. Nicole Kidman was not in Lion that much and she was good, but I am not sure she will get in... I think it would be fair to put Viola Davis in the supporting actress category. I have seen all 3 of these movies so far. Not sure yet what to make of Hidden Figures. It seems the movie revolves around Octavia Spencer's character so i don't know why she would be here for supporting actress.. This shows who is eligible (I think) http://www.awardscircuit.com/oscar-predictions/oscar-predictions-best-supporting-actress/ Viola Davis – “Fences“ Michelle Williams – “Manchester by the Sea“ Naomie Harris – “Moonlight“ Nicole Kidman – “Lion“ Octavia Spencer – “Hidden Figures“ THE NEXT FIVE Greta Gerwig – “20th Century Women“ Janelle Monae – “Hidden Figures“ Helen Mirren – “Eye in the Sky“ Molly Shannon – “Other People“ Margo Martindale – “The Hollars“ OTHER TOP-TIER CONTENDERS Lupita Nyong’o – “Queen of Katwe“ Gugu Mbatha Raw – “Miss Sloane“ Rachel Weisz – “The Light Between Oceans“ Elle Fanning – “20th Century Women“ Greta Gerwig – “Jackie“ Margaret Bowman – “Hell or High Water“ Julianne Moore – “Maggie’s Plan“ Judy Davis – “The Dressmaker” Elle Fanning – “Live By Night“ Felicity Jones – “A Monster Calls“ ALSO IN CONTENTION Aja Naomi King – “The Birth of a Nation“ Leslie Mann – “The Comedian” Laura Dern – “The Founder” Kristen Stewart – “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk“ Hayley Squires – “I, Daniel Blake“ Chloë Sevingly – “Love & Friendship” Teresa Palmer – “Hacksaw Ridge“ Laura Linney – “Nocturnal Animals“ Sienna Miller – “Live By Night“ Lizzy Caplan – “Allied“ OTHER POSSIBILITIES Rooney Mara – “Lion“ Lily Gladstone – “Certain Women“ Laura Dern – “Certain Women“ Michelle Monaghan – “Patriots Day“ Sarah Gadon – “Indignation“ Rose Byrne – “The Meddler“ Elizabeth Olsen – “I Saw the Light“ Toni Collette – “Glassland” Shailene Woodley – “Snowden“ Keira Knightley – “Collateral Beauty” UNRANKED CONTENDERS IN PLAY Nina Arianda – “Florence Foster Jenkins“ Annette Bening – “Rules Don’t Apply” Haley Bennett – “The Girl on the Train“ Olivia Colman – “The Lobster“ Jennifer Connelly – “American Pastoral” Tyne Daly – “Hello My Name is Doris” Kim Dickie – “The Witch“ Dakota Fanning – “American Pastoral” Phoebe Fox – “Eye in the Sky“ Rebecca Ferguson – “The Girl on the Train“ Carla Gugino – “The Space Between Us” Kathryn Hahn – “Captain Fantastic“ Riley Keough – “American Honey” Helen Mirren – “Collateral Beauty” Gugu Mbatha-Raw – “The Whole Truth” Imogen Poots – “Green Room“ Kristen Stewart – “Certain Women“ Tilda Swinton – “Doctor Strange” Zoe Saldana – “Live By Night” Kyra Sedgwick – “The Edge of Seventeen” Rachel Weisz – “The Lobster“ Michelle Williams – “Certain Women“ Kate Winslet – “Collateral Beauty”

Reserved seating just collapsed. Cannot wait for fresh numbers.... Monday projections will be simple.

i wonder if it is a California thing.... Passengers is always packed for 3d and 2d reserved seating. Everytime i sneak a peek, they are nearly sold out.

THEATER ONLY: Shut In - 6,891,009 Incarnate - 4,799,774 Swiss Army Man - 4,210,454 Morgan - 3,915,251 The Disappointments Room - 2,433,251 Shin Godzilla - 1,918,403 Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk - 1,738,477 The Neon Demon - 1,333,124

reserved seating looked surprisingly packed for everything!

Down to 61. The Tuesday night preview crowd must have really loved it! I did not mind it, 8/10

its 12am on the Pacific Coast.. I hope deadline updates with numbers soon!

I just want to point out if Lion increases more than 5% today, it will have its highest single day yet since it expanded to 500 theaters XMAS day. Currently it is playing in 525 theaters and it was one of the few movies to increase on Thursday and still manage to have an over 40% increase Friday. I am watching The Man Who Knew Infinity and Dav Patel is in it. He is doing a good job and it has me thinking maybe he will get nominated for Lion to celebrate his body of work this year. (i have not seen Lion)

When comparing to 2005 and 2011, this year seems to be doing its own thing. So hopefully that means good holds tomorrow.

Based on RTH's numbers... Rogue One - 18.2 (-14.3%) 15.6 (+16.7%) 18.2 = 52 Sing - 17 (-23.5%) 13 (+15.4%) 15 = 45 Passengers - 5.8 (-13.8%) 5.0 (+10%) 5.5 = 16.3 Moana - 4.3 (-23.3%) 3.3 (+3.0%) 3.4 = 10.0 Fences - 3.8 + 3.8 + 3.8 = 11.4 La La Land - 3.1 + 3.2 + 3.3 = 9.6 Assassin's - 3.0 (-20%) 2.4 (+25%) 3.0 = 8.4 Why Him? - 3.2 (-28.1%) 2.3 (+39.1%) - 3.2 = 8.7 Office XMAS??? COLLATERAL???

15.3 was XMAS EVE. that would be -16.0% from 18.2.. Then it would just have to jump up 19% to match 18.2 again on Sunday. = 51.7 = 52 weekend. We can only hope for a higher Friday number and good holds and increases.

TFA fell 18% NYE Thursday, Rebounded 50% NYD Friday. 18% Rogue One drop, and a Sunday to match Friday should be fair. 18.2 14.9 18.2 = 51.3

Loving (2016)

Our god

I have had my best year with going to the theater almost 100 times and watching less than 10 movies (for free). It has been along time since the ratio was greater than 10 to 1. I noticed in the Thursday numbers thread earlier today how members were remarking about how Cinema is dead and how legit movies are platform releases. Well, the Golden Globes are next week and I would love to be caught up with all of the movies to make the awards show funner. So how the hell am I going to get to all these movies without using piracy? And what is sad is that these are the movies that count on box office revenue more than franchise pictures that are just pretty much an investment with a 200M budget.

Saw La La Land tonight for the first time. I liked it alot and i tried to dislike it as much as possible. I just do not want it to sweep all the awards!!! Emma Stone vs Natalie Portman for the oscar will be fun to watch though. As for the ending...I thought it was one of the best parts. This is my take on the ending....

Underworld 5 bad reviews look promising for Rogue One #1 4 weekends in a row. Week #5 - Bye Bye Man, Monster Trucks, Sleepless Week #6 - Split, XXX 3

MY GUESSES: Rogue One - 21 / 339 Sing - 17 / 92.5 Passengers - 5.5 / 35.5 Moana - 4.5 / 190 Fences - 4.5 / 16.3 Why Him - 4.0 / 19.5 Assassin's - 4.0 / 26.3 La La - 3.2 / 20.3 Collateral - 1.9 / 19.3 Office - 1.6 / 45.7 F Beasts - 1.5 / 217.4 Manchester - 1.2 / 22 Jackie - 0.6 / 4.8 Lion - 0.6 / 3.0 Arrival - 0.4 / 90.2 Dr. S - 0.30 / 229 Trolls - 0.25 / 149.15

I did not like the 3d either
