    Oh come on.  It deserved every bit of praise it got.  Better than that shitty Juno movie that everyone seemed to like despite its low quality.

    Well if the characters actually had motivations that made sense and had more personality than just, "nice James McAvoy", "precocious Saorise Ronan", and "sad Keira Knightley", maybe I'd sing a different tune. Everything else about it is great, but its main cog is just...ugh.

    Yeah, such an ART FILM THAT WAS DIRECTED BY THE GUY THAT MADE...

     

    Okay he had a solid track record with affecting dramas like Pride and Prejudice and Atonement before doing shit like The Soloist and Anna Karenina, and of course, PAN.

    Atonement's really not that good, tbh. How it was nominated for Best Screenplay, let alone Best Picture is baffling.

    At least JJL HAS ACTUAL TALENT AND DOESNT PICK SHITTY PROJECTS.  Like who does Mara think she was by deciding to be on fucking PAN.  

     

    While Mara did Pan in between those two films, Leigh did THE MACHINIST, SYNECDOCHE NEW YORK, SPECTACULAR NOW, AND ANOMALISA.  Meanwhile, Morgan is going to make BANK at the box office.  Just you wait.

    Look, Mara just thought Pan could give her some franchise material. But a true auteur realized franchises are stupid, and she should be remembered for picking projects that Oscar voters will cream all over for, giving her way more attention from the GA. Anomalisa was a flop, lol (character break: Although it shouldn't have been :()

    FUCK NO.  She was awful in Pan and that obviously shows she didn't deserve any of this.  She has to keep a consistent acting record in her movies. 

     

    Jennifer Jason Leigh should've won, but of course, the Oscars have a Tarantino bias.  Sigh

    Hell no. People don't even remember who JJL is. What was the last thing she was in that people actually watched? Road to Perdition LOL. Mara's last big hit was Dragon Tatoo, but Lion's gonna explode in the box office, and she'll usurp J-Law's throne. HAIL QUEEN MARA!

    Guys, Suicide Squad dropped 79.4% from Friday to Friday. That's terrible. For example, other movies that have done this poorly:

     

    1. Captain America: Civil War -74%

    2. Twilight Series ~75%

    3 The Dark Knight Rises -76.6%

    4. Batman v Superman -81.6%

    5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 -84%

     

    What do those movies all have in common? Toxic word of mouth? I was going to say huge previews on Thursday, built-in fan base, and all that jazz, but nah...toxic word of mouth it is. 

     

    Also, another interesting point to ignore, Suicide Squad had crazy Thursday preview numbers AND Tmobile Free Ticket Fridays. Sure, the major drops seem to be associated in comparison to that first Friday, which just so happened to be special in at least two ways, but hey, let's forget that, and project the anomalies into generalities, just like the best numerical analysts.

     

    So to continue its flop status, like such other flops, Suicide Squad could do anywhere between 15m -21m Saturday, depending if it's WOM is like Twilight or if it's like Dark Knight Rises. Can't wait to find out!

    We get it.

    So today:

     

    Pete's Dragon first or Sausage Party?

     

    (Kinda disappointed with Pete's Dragon opening but eh, at least it only had a $65 million budget.)

     

    Coin Flip?

    Edit: Just go Pete's then Sausage, since the latter will probably have a bigger crowd at that time, and comedies are always great when there's a big crowd.
