So... The Choice.... What an awful choice of film (pun intended). But honestly if you watched any Sparks movie, you've already seen this movie, you don't need to know anything else. It's the exact same thing, just with slightly different attractive faces. As as somebody who likes sappy romances it just makes you want to gag, and the cliche's are played to the fullest. Every aspect is exactly out of the books in the worst way. I really don't know what to say, there is absolutely nothing to the performances, the script and directing are an epitome of lazy, and it's not even null you to sleep boring, it's just boring and you're forced to stay awake for every aching moment of this dull little "terror". This is the worst movie you've all made me see yet. It won't be the worst of the year, but I can't think of any redeemable aspects of it. F

At this point, I bet most Hollywood trade sites use ours for their predictions thinking we all obviously know what we're talking about, we're a box office site.

2015 Awards and Precusors (PGA NOMS ON PG. 10)
The Panda replied to Cmasterclay's topic in And The Winner Is...
Except the Big Short is a near lock for adapted screenplay and a dark horse for editing (if it wins BP I think it takes editing from Mad Max) It has a decent shot at BP, as does Revenant. I think Big Short has a better narrative as a "more important" feature but Revenant has more major wins, then again Big Short has the PGA and a SAG nod while Revenant lacks a screenplay and a SAG nod. Then again Big Short is very quirky for the Academy and the Revenant is a technically impressive drama with the most Oscar nods, but Alejandro also recently won (where he hadn't at the Globes and BAFTAS, so those could easily be discounted). Theres an equally long pro and con list for both. I think it's either films game. -

I've had an incredibly busy two weeks, I'll get to it eventually.... -
2015 Awards and Precusors (PGA NOMS ON PG. 10)
The Panda replied to Cmasterclay's topic in And The Winner Is...
Slim to none? 3 votes or not it still won the PGA. Revenant can easily be seen as a makeup for Birdman at the BAFTAS and Globes. You can make an argument for either, but neither have a slim to none chance. -
2015 Awards and Precusors (PGA NOMS ON PG. 10)
The Panda replied to Cmasterclay's topic in And The Winner Is...
Weird, either Revenant wins BP or Theres a BD BP split again. Id say 40% - Revenant BP/BD 40% - Big Short BP/Revenant BD 19% - Spotlight BP/Revenant BD 1% - Some other combo PGA is the only one with a perfect record since the expansion, so it makes it hard to ignore Big Short. It's also hard to ignore Revenant's 3 wins. Spotlight is the dark horse -
People would have said the same about Guardians had it been first instead of last up. I can easily see Deadpool over any (or all) of Civil War, BVS, and Suicide Squad. I'm not saying it will be, but with great WOM for Deadpool and no competition, it could be in for a surprisingly leggy run (for a comic book movie opening on a holiday weekend) Deadpool could go as high as 350-400m with a 130-135m OW. None of the big three comic book films are guaranteed anything. Civil War could have a small decrease from AoU, or an IM3 one. BVS is bombing its marketing campaign currently, and MoS was mixedly recieved, I'm thinking TDKR numbers are optimistic for it. Suicide Squad looks very appealing and has done a good job marketing itself so far, but if BVS is received poorly it might hurt it, plus we have no idea how much the GA will go for a movie based around villains. Im not saying how any of the three will perform, but that there is definitely reason to believe they are no locks to gross higher than a movie we haven't even gotten the OW to yet. I currently see the ranges (min to max) like BvS: 325m - 500m CW: 300m - 450m SS: 175m - 400m Deadpool can certainly hit in the 300m range, which could score it against one, two, all, or none of the above.
