IT's going to break all (Fall) the records!

Lol, of course I'd adjust my Emoji predicts down after the reviews only for my original predicts to be more accurate. There goes like 20k points on the Summer game.

Lol, SMH's run is fine, it's doing well for Sony but its legs aren't anything to write home about. They'll be around 2.6x or so which is good for a comic book sequel but not spectacular. Even with a breakout like Deadpool, the focus was one the surprise factor and opening weekend, not the good but notmal legs.

Of course somebody had to spoil the Stewart party.

They bid on it after the LEGO movie but prior to Angry Birds (which wasn't a resounding success, by any means, just a decent one). I personally don't remember ever being optimistic about it, it felt like a step too far from other similar concept animations.

Also, just think. This movie idea was pitched to three studios and Sony "aggressively" bid for it.

I guess we'll never know.

Lolololol at the actual RT Consensus.

We're at 21 already though

How many reviews before Armond White ruins the fun?

This settles it: I'm gonna buy some tickets for The Emoji Movie at some point, I must know how bad it is.

LOLOLOL these reviews. It's getting a large amount of 0/4s, that's crazy. RT Consensus: "😬 🎥 ➡️ 💩💩💩💩"

Yeah, I wasn't shocked by Transformers DOM performance, even if it underperformed my low predict. It was that it went so absurdly low WW compared to the last one. It looks like they may even be close to losing money on it.

I'm gonna go balls to the wall and have these be my July predicts. Best Picture Blade Runner 2049 Detroit Dunkirk The Florida Project Get Out Last Flag Flying Logan (Why not?) Mudbound The Papers Three Billboards Outside of Ebbings, Missouri (Looks really quirky and funny, but may not fly with the Academy) Alternates Baby Driver (Probably will be under the radar by Oscar season, and there's much buzzier films from the summer) Battle of the Sexes (Thinks this gets actor pushes but just that) The Big Sick (seems like a well reviewed movie that could get overlooked) Call Me By Your Name (Great reviews but may be too much for Oscars) Darkest Hour (Kind of think this just gets the Best Actor push) The Disaster Artist (I think A24 pushes The Florida Project) Downsizing (Looks quirky and fun, it could easily make it) The Glass Castle (Good director, promising trailer, could get lost in the shuffle) Goodbye Christopher Robin (Good trailer, but Saving Mr Banks missed it and this is very similar) Phantom Thread (PTA isn't an Oscar shoe in) Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (Seems like it could go either way) mother! (May be too much for the Oscars) Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House (Director is unproven, but looks like it could pull itself in) The Shape of Water (Del Toro can go either way, but this does look to be like his first real Oscar potential) Suburbicon (Clooney isn't always consistent) Wonder Wheel (Woody Allen is inconsistent) Wonder Woman (Comic book movie, but highly successful) Other Potential Contenders All the Money in the World (Scott is inconsistent) Breathe (It looks promising, but the trailer is a bit hokey) The Current War (Weinstein may have enough leverage to push it in) The Greatest Showman (looks lackluster and like straight up bait) Logan Lucky (Good reviews, but may end up forgotten) Marshall (Director has a bad track record) Molly's Game (Untested film director, but has been solid elsewhere) The Mountain Between Us (trailer doesn't look that promising) Murder on the Orient Express (trailer makes it seem like it could go either way really) Roman Israel, Esq. (Not enough info) Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Likely a competitor for techs, but I doubt much else, sadly) Stronger (A little hokey, Oscars have moved away from these kinds of movies) Victoria & Abdul (Director has done highly liked prestige stuff before) War for the Planet of the Apes (Fox seems to be pushing Logan) Wonder (Looks pretty hokey but maybe they go for it) Best Director Sean Baker, The Florida Project Richard Linklater, Last Flag Flying Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk Dees Rees, Mudbound Denis Villeneuve, Blade Runner 2049 Best Actor Bryan Cranston, Last Flag Flying Matt Damon, Downsizing James Franco, The Disaster Artist Hugh Jackman, Logan Gary Oldman, Darkest Hour Best Actress Jennifer Lawrence, mother!

Dunkirk will be fine, as that's not a significant enough portion of the score.

War for the Planet of the Apes, Logan and Wonder Woman are all good enough for Oscar noms but I'd be surprised if any of those three got much more than a few tech noms (maybe a tech win). Dunkirk's got an excellent shot, excluding that I think Baby Driver or the Big Sick are the only other Summer films that have a good chance. Now, I think it'd be cool to see a few deserving blockbusters get a nom (because it'd encourage studios to make more Prestige Blockbusters, that could be a cool genre) but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I choose , , and

Batman Returns is bonkers and fun. TDKR is a messy drag.

I overall liked Chronicle, Dane DeHaan was fine but he wasn't anything special. Probably the best I've seen him in.

I'm honestly tempted to see the Emoji movie just so I can see how bad it is.

Thinking back, I don't think I've ever seen DeHaan give a legitimate good performance. He just had a few passable ones.

I'll take all three

This should also mean an easier Wednesday drop, so it'll even itself out.

I want to point out that in SOTM4 it says DM3's 12 Day total but then says end of its second sunday. It's actual 12 day total is at the end of its second Tuesday. Which way is that going to be scored, because it'll be the difference of players going over or not (which is a significant amount of points on that question)
