    All the Money in the World

    X-Mas Day, 3:30 PM, 80% full

     

    Trailers

    Black Panther

    Annihilation

    Fifty Shades Freed (Kinda appalled that there was no "Crazy in Love" in the trailer. C'mon Universal, that's practically a tradition!)

    The Post (The people next to me immediately went "Oh, I definitely need to see that" as soon as Hanks and Streep appeared)

    12 Strong

    Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool

    Sicario 2: Soldado (For some reason, the people next to me gasped when del Toro took off his mask)

     

    The people next to me were pretty annoying. When literally anything bad happened in the movie, they would gasp or say "oh no", and many times they would talk with themselves. Not a fun crowd to be at.

    Last Saturday, acclaimed Taiwanese director Ang Lee attended the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival and talked about his latest production ‘Gemini Man’ during an interview session. Ang Lee reveals that he will continue to use high frame rate in this movie. In addition, he will use VR technology, although the movie itself is not a VR movie. Starring Will Smith, ‘Gemini Man’ tells the story of a retired assassin who faces off against himself, a clone who is 25 years younger.

    Quick thoughts:

     

    -Star Wars had a bad drop mainly due to it being Xmas Eve, and it's clear the film's WOM isn't the strongest, but it's still very impressive, and it's on track to being the third biggest movie domestically. Although it will be interesting to see what Disney will do going forward.

     

    -Jumanji did stellar work, which definitely surprised me. I guess starpower and a good concept really does work wonders during the holiday season. Good to see Sony has a new potential franchise under their belt, even though I can't see how a Jumanji sequel would work.

     

    -Pitch Perfect 3 did atrocious. But in hindsight, I guess it made sense. Looking at the previews, the film screamed "we ran out of ideas, and we're trying to see what sticks," at least to me. Even though it'll probably break even, it's definitely a sour note to end on for the series.

     

    -Greatest Showman did about what I expected. A nice $70-80M gross.

     

    -Downsizing and Father Figures were LOL-tastic. Not much else to add there.

     

    -'CMBYN, Darkest Hour, and Shape of Water had great expansions. The last two seem on track to gross above $50M, while Call Me seems poised for a solid $25M and secure all there Best Picture noms, so kudos to them.

     

    -Lady Bird outgrossed Moonlight to become A24's biggest movie. Wonderful to see.

     

    -The Post had a great OW and PTA. I can't wait to see what Molly's Game and Phantom Thread do tomorrow.

     

    -I, Tonya seems kinda weak, but it could pick up some steam during January and February and make around something like Room, or at the very least The Lobster.
