She's definitely not. I think the only movies she watches by herself are 80s-90s romcoms.
oh it could really go either way then
hope you have a blast together!

To be clear, I'm pretty sure I'd like this movie, although if I brought my mom along, I think she'd say "Oh, that was interesting".
does she happen to be a classic movies fan? it has a very strong 50s' MGM vibe, if she digs that.

gosh, just came back from it and it was a perfect bow to classic Hollywood and Jacques Demy. and it still feels fresh. what a great film.
and Emma Stone is PERFECTION in this. Even her overacting works amazingly well.

what about Chicago? it's a BP winning musical that opened in late December and it did $244M est.

It really can't be stated enough just how delightful Emma Stone is in this. Her performance alone is probably gonna power word-of-mouth and make it a must-see for people by itself.
sounds like a lock for Best Actress Oscar to me.
Portman's 2nd win would only be more justified if/when the movie Jackie itself were a more of an award-bait than LLL.

btw it seems to be doing very well in South Korea. Musical isn't a particularly popular genre here but if it breaks out it breaks out yuuge (Les Mis did $40M here..! Mamma Mia did $26M and even Begin Again also did $26M). Same applies to the mid-budget romance flicks (have you heard of About Time..? it did $23.4M here). And LLL happens to be a bit of both. Plus Whiplash did quite well here too ($11.4M, and that's almost the same with its $13M dom). I def see the momentum being built and the WOM will be crazy good. I wouldn't be surprised if it does about $20M or more.

seeing this in about 4 hrs. SUPER pumped!!

I wonder why no one's talking about Sing.
Yeah, I don't really like this song, but the movie it's from is going to make buckets of money.
think Faith (by Stevie Wonder & Ariana Grande) is a bigger contender from Sing. (didn't realize it was original before)

It wont clic with me, as far as I have seen what it is about, but I do wonder too (but haven't checked on involved actors,...)
Is that news? He seems to rant about the reboot time... too click-baity for me, I already know he does not like (at least most) of the big budget CBMs
I took a quick look and if I'm not mistaken he's just talking about the new Tom Holland franchise with "the first reboot" referring to the Amazing Spider-Man..? wonder how that is the news. ?

I can see OCP doing 20M+. Project X did 21M a few years ago, with the cast this has, and the appealing (and timely) premise, I can definitely see this going to 25M.
yeah as a non-US resident I'm not sure how relevant SNL still is in people's daily lives but I hope Jen's appearance last Saturday also generated some hypes. Maybe it could have an Anchorman 2 kinda run but this Christmas seems waaay too busy for a mid-budget original comedy like this.

I wonder how much OCP will click with the audience. think the Wrap called a $25M opening. I love almost everyone in the film especially Kate ?

Moana's Wed drop last week after the huge Tues bump wasn't too bad. Should be another 35-40% drop.
It had a 37% drop after a 36% surge, so I wonder if tomorrow we'll get to see an apocalyptic 60% drop that'll bring such joy to certain people here.

Reading your posts all over the forum I think this is a "Troll" vs "Fanboy" war.
I only write numbers this time, no comments or judgements.
However I'm sorry if Moana won't be a hit, but statistically is hard to believe in three animated "billionaire" (not literally intended) from a single studio in less than one year, while in the same time they had to promote other 3-4 non animated blockbusters. In fact in international threads (especially UK) some users is speaking about a lacking p&a for this movie. An other user reports that this Christmas there is a super-successful Disney's Tv-serie that impact in the same segment of Moana. Add to this the fact that Moana isn't a clearly targetizet movie (is too complicated for 3/6?, too far from classic pop culture for 6/11? is totally girl oriented?). Add also that the soundtrack hasn't (by now) any "Let It Go" effect. With this scenario (I repeat BY NOW), if also Japan/SK will have the results of the other key markets, a ww run under 500M is predictable.
I hope you reply to me with fact and numbers and not just with "His/Her idea is different to mine! He/She is trolling!"
again, for the 2845245th times, I'm not writing you off as a troll because your "idea" is just different. and no one here believed it to be a billion grosser in the first place. The problem is your constant attempt to call it a failure with your delusional standards when it's doing just perfectly fine. Your logic is flawed to the point where it seems like there's a hidden trolling agenda is what I'm saying. Besides, I totally relate to the people here like @James or @FantasticBeasts rooting for the film that they love, just like @Finnick pointed out up there, but I don't see how undermining a particular film's BO performance could be a sole motive to join BOT. Your 19 posts here have all been about how Moana is/will be failing. Even if Moana's bound to be a huge failure as you say and you are a Cassandra-like prophet figure who is here to tell everyone that when no one either cares or wants to believe so, what's the point in that, really? Does it somehow make you a better, superior person?

Dude you are not helping by posting such comments even they are numbers, you seem to be targeting @yjs every time she post something about Moana. She liked the movie and she is rooting for it. Why do we have to ruin every moment of joy for a member if their movies are doing great!!! By the way, Moana is doing great in the US and less good OS but it is not a disaster. There are members here like @James and @FantasticBeasts whom are rooting for FB numbers and lots of members are posting good news for their sake and this is the way we should treat each other not posting negative comments each time they come up with something about the movie numbers they are flowing!!!
by the way, I'm a he

- 28% from lw tue (worse than Frozen - 1% and Tangled -20% same lifetime comparison). Thr could be under 1m$.
last Tuesday Moana had +36.4% jump from Monday whereas Tangled's Mon-Tue increase was mere +19.6% and Frozen even had -0.2% decrease. (btw Tangled's drop was -26%, not -20%)
and Tangled's Thursday the same week was at $1.1M after its $1.05M Mon and TS2's Thu was $1.26M after its $1.34M Mon, so predicting Moana to fall below $1M on Thursday after its $1.42M Monday and additional 60% Tuesday increase is beyond me.
honestly why do I even bother explaining all this to you when you already made up your mind that "Moana is a failing bomb" as you announced on the Moana thread. Literally the only thing you've done here so far ever since you joined here is to prove yourself by putting every negative spin possible to Moana's run. Troll.

What if Moana drops less than 25% next weekend!! it will be awesome for the legs.
it'll be so awesome indeed, but I'll still be happy with anything smaller than -30% given the track record. (Frozen -28.6%/Tangled -33.7%/TS2 -34.3%)

wow already? good numbers! isn't that like 60% increase for Moana from its $1.4M Mon...? ?

Damn that's a big drop for Moana. 300 million looks dead now.
well, the "big" drop is just usual and it's actually slightly better than TS2/Tangled, but yeah at this point at least it's safe to say that it's not gonna do anything unimaginable. TS2 total seems very likely for now but we'll see how it holds well against R1 and Sing. TS2 had a bit smaller configuration but also a much lighter competition throughout the Christmas (mainly Stuart Little)

Wasn't Frozen effectively a week later, though? Thanksgiving was really late in 2013.
Thanksgiving 2013 was Nov 28th so we were looking at Frozen's Dec 9th's Sunday to Monday drop which was very soft (-79%). Had Moana held similarly its weekly drop from would have been much smaller at 21%.

This is opening in my country tomorrow
Will give my review and ranking among this year's animated films once I watched it.

Also, 1 original song.
85 that were licensed, but for most from the catalogue the use of the songs are very subtle in the film.

i had no idea it even opened this weekend. didn't do a great job of getting the word out there.
haha yes, this is more of an encouraging news, actually. cause at least it means it's just not well-known at the moment, not like rejected for what it is.
I need to stop projecting myself tho haha, I just got too excited and personal for the possibility of it being a huge worldwide hit featuring a colored female title role, we have way too few of those. The last one was Mulan.
but, it's still a hit, just not a Tangled level hit, I'll stop being dramatic and political and should just take that as a win. haha

hopefully this means Moana wouldn't take the hit too hard by Sing during Christmas in NA, either. I'll happily take anything more or less than TS2.
