At least it had a good Tuesday bump. Storks had a pretty miserable one.
To be fair, I don't think many parents will take their kids to the movies on a school night.

I'm a simple man. I see Daisy Ridley's in a movie, I go to that movie.

The thing that's interesting is that 2015 was kind of a precursor to this; The only movies that ended their run at $200M were Mockingjay Pt. 2, Martian, Cinderella, and Spectre, and the latter two had some fudge in their numbers, so it's debatable if they truly count. I guess in today's world of rising ticket prices and shorter theater-to-ancillary windows, so this will likely be the new norm.
I'm almost guaranteed that next year will be a repeat. Even the movies that I currently predict will be in the $200M range (Lego Batman, Kong, Fast 8, Apes, Dunkirk, Ninjago, Thor, Coco) I have a strong suspicion will fall below or rise above that range.

New Review: BEST SCI-FI IN RECENT MEMORY
"Arrival may be the best science fiction film to come out in recent memory. It’s smart, quiet, and infused with heart. Arrival is soulful down to its very core, and director Denis Villeneuve portrays the impact that an impending alien invasion has on people on both a micro and macro level quite effectively. Not only do we get to see the intimate reactions between our main characters, we also get to experience the differing dynamics between the major countries who have had the luck of an alien ship landing in their backyard. In other words, the stakes of the film are deeply personal, but are shown against a vast global backdrop."

The hardest thing for any science fiction movie to achieve these days is a real sense of amazement or wonder. Audiences quickly get used to seeing ever more fantastical things and as your tolerance rises, filmmakers have to push things further and further to get any reaction. It's why those first few series of The X-Files were so jaw-dropping, but the last were just eye-rolling.
And the more impressive special effects get, the less likely you are to believe your eyes. Moments like that first glimpse at a dinosaur in Jurassic Park or finally meeting the tuneful visitors in Close Encounters of the Third Kind just don't come along all that often.
Believe the hype, then.

Arrival is a language lesson masquerading as a blockbuster, though much more entertaining than that sounds. The film features shades of Interstellar, Contact and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but never feels derivative. Rather it’s smart, sophisticated sci-fi that that asks BIG questions, and does a pretty good job of answering them.

I just remember a lot of people saying similar things about a "3 hour, borderline NC-17 white collar satire" a few years ago
That "3 hour, borderline NC-17 white collar satire" had Leo though. Liam Neeson's a boss, but his presence does not guarantee $100M. I'll eat crow if you're right, but I only see Gangs of New York numbers as this movie's ceiling.

Chirstmas Day NY/LA, Jan. 20th wide release. I thought Beginners was just okay, but I like the actresses here, so I guess I'll wait and see.

Paramount has a real conundrum on their hands. They have 3 Oscar contenders to push with Arrival, Fences and Silence.
I bet they wish they could bump Silence back to next year.
And they can't bump it to next year, because...?

This TV show will never exist after the movie flops
Well, the budget's only $60M, so it would have to flop really, really hard for it not to be a success.

The movie adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” is getting closer and closer with the 2017 February release. And as the premiere date approaches so do the new details on the expansive world planned for this massive book series translation. Part of that plan is a TV series that explores the books’ wild backstory, and today a few details have been revealed.
The TV show will focus on the fourth novel in the series, “Wizard and Glass,” according to Entertainment Weekly, and both Idris Elba and Tom Taylor will reprise their roles from the film as Roland Deschain (the Gunslinger) and Jake Chambers.
Elba and Taylor will serve as a framing device for the 10- to 13-episode TV series, which will dive deeper into the origins of the gunslinger. The younger Deschain will be played by another actor.
Matthew McConaughey, who has been cast in the film as Roland’s enemy, the Man in Black, has not been confirmed for the TV series. While McConaughey’s involvement is a possibility, the ageless sorcerer could be played by another actor in the TV show.
Other details about “The Dark Tower” TV series are sparse, but the film’s producer and co-screenwriter, Akiva Goldsman, will serve as one of the executive producers of the show. And while the TV series will hire a different showrunner, “The Dark Tower” director Nikolaj Arcel and co-writer Anders Thomas Jensen are also signed on as executive producers and are working on a script for the show.

This has to be my favorite bit of news this weekend. So many scriptwriters in Hollywood struggle to get even one of their ideas on the screen, and a 4-year old gets a 125M budgeted movie greenlit
That explains a lot about the movie for sure.
January can't come soon enough.

There are currently like 5 movies set for October 21 while Inferno has the following weekend to itself now. Something should move back a week, in particular Ouija.
What are you talking about? Inferno's facing Untitled Lionsgate Horror Film. I've heard that it has great franchise potential.
