Same. I'm not gonna be posting my yearly "Best Of" list until middle/late January (Phantom Thread opens here around then and is likely to be the last movie I see from this year).
I don't even bother. I'll probably just make a 2010s "Best of" list in 2021 or 2022, and just see what happens. Maybe even later than that.

Jumanji has become a monster though. This has to be Sony's first unqualified hit since...well, what?
If we're talking tentpole movies, I think it's their first big non-Spidey/Bond hit since...Hotel Transylvania 2...back in 2015. (Or I guess you could maybe make a case for Angry Birds. Its domestic gross was meh, but $350M on a $73M budget is pretty good). It's also the first non-Spider-Bond Sony movie to gross more than $200M since...Hancock...back in 2008. Yeesh, Sony really has gone south (Speaking of Hancock, how come they never made a sequel to that?)

Hopping on the bandwagon a bit early. Haven't finished all my 2017 watching sadly, but oh well, I can still probably form a solid list! Just to prepare you guys, don't expect any of the following possible contenders to appear on the list:
-Phantom Thread
-Call Me by Your Name
-The Post
-The Killing of a Sacred Deer
-Wonderstruck
-Mudbound
-Nocturama
-I, Tonya
I'll probably update this list again anyway once I see those films, so why not?
This is why I get annoyed with a lot of these year-end lists. If you haven't seen all of the movies you were interested in/were excited to see, then just wait a while longer, and then make your countdown. Who cares if you missed the bandwagon?

salty mad because even imdb score proves mixed WOM, the displayed score is just rigged
Y'know, it's kinda weird that you seemingly only joined here to diss Last Jedi. Most people here join to have fun discussion about box office and the industry as a whole, but you seem rather dedicated to only targeting one specific movie. Sad!

In the UK, Comedy Central used to be called the Paramount Comedy Channel.
What is the ‘Paramount Network’?
It’s the new name for Spike TV. I was watching Jurassic Park, and they had an ad announcing that.

The only shows I watch on TV now have Gordon Ramsay in them.
And Twin Peaks, but that's not currently on TV.
Kitchen Nightmares has the best YT channel ever.

Is this a show that FOX is using to desperately try to cash in on American Idol before ABC airs it?

I'm curious to see how The Post does in wide release - it will tell us if Meryl Streep's career and brand have been tarnished by recent events. Will the #SheKnew accusations (apparently it's her fault that actresses agreed to take meetings in Harvey Weinstein's bed) negatively affect her career?
Good thing Thomas the Hanks Engine is there to save the day.

Pretty weak-ass Friday number for TLJ, will decrease over the 3 and 4 day from last week when everything else increases. Great for Jumanji, will most likely be #1 next weekend ahead of TLJ.
I like seeing Jumanji break out, but

You're gonna love it, CoolEric. Armie spends most of the movie wearing really short shorts or bathing suits that show off his thighs.
The entire movie is excellent though. I think only the most close-minded would be unable to take away at least something from it.
It's definitely the first movie I'll plan to see when I get back to Uni...unless I'm unable to see Jumanji, The Post, or Paddington before I head back.

Maybe it’s an app this time.
I was actually thinking about that idea the other day, and I think it's the perfect way to bring a new hook.
Picture this:
The game becomes an app. It becomes super popular across the entire world, and it's bought by almost everyone. When the time is right, Jumanji sucks all of the people in the world into the game. Then it's up to the kids from the first movie to try and go back as their old characters and save the day.
The thing however is that each of the app users pick one of the game characters. Meaning there will be a lot of Rocks running around in Jumanji. Jumanji 2 made an ungodly amount of money with one Rock. Can you imagine hundreds, thousands, millions of different Rocks in one movie? $1B DOM guraranteed.
