Eric is Quiet

Huh. Weird Nut Job isn't on the list. Not that I expected it to be a nominee, but still. Seems the race will probably be Big Hero 6, Boxtrolls, Lego Movie, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and probably either Princess Kaguya or Song of the Sea. And Big Hero 6 will probably be the winner as well.

I've only seen two ads for it in my entire life. One time on TV, and the back ad for Nick Magazine. I believe the movie was in development hell for 10 or so years.

Yeah, this fall easily makes up for one of the most boring summers in a long time. So many successes both critically and financially to count.

Y'know, I'm mixed on the character designs, but I feel like the only one who enjoys the live-action sequences. I think they're just as funny as the animated segments. They both have the same wit and charm the series always had. Seems people only hate the live-action because "ZOMG CG DESTROY MOVIE!!!!1" Of course I'm the only person on the Internet who likes modern Spongebob (I know, I know), so probably take my words for a grain of salt.

I just realized something: Where's the Ratchet and Clank movie? Sony keeps saying "early 2015", and outside of a teaser and an E3 trailer, there hasn't been anything else, and it's almost November.

Pretty much. Fox president at the time enjoyed the script, but didn't approve of it, but Seth didn't want to restart everything, so he abandoned the project. But I believe WAG is planning to make a Flintstones animated movie produced by Will Ferrel and Adam McKay. That sounds pretty cool. And I know WAG has other movies besides Lego, but I can't remember off the top of my head what they're called or what they're about.

Well, doing more research, Tootsie and Beverly Hills Cop beat it by a week. 13 in a row. Jesus! But they are. Everything was better in the 90s: Sorry, I just adore this video!

And speaking of which, Home Alone was #1 for 12 weeks? Holy guacamole!!

Don't know how to do it, but here's the link.

Weird that 80s girl cartoons are suddenly getting a revival? MLP, Rainbow Brite, Jem...interesting.

YES!! Thank you theater camp!

Let me guess: Amazing Mazy from Seussical: the Musical?

So Mojo's dead, then not dead, then maybe dead again? Am I dead? Are you dead? Is he dead? Is she dead? WHAT?!

And right when you wrote that, BOM crashed on me. Nice job Eddy, you ruined Christmas!

...there is a God.

Should I know who this "Fishnets" person is?

I've got school on Columbus Day. I ALWAYS get school on Columbus Day. Why do you ask AC/DeeCee?

So this weekend is a battle against Gone Girl, Dracula, and Alexander. I'm really loving this October: lots of fights for #1 seem to be occurring.

Because February and April were packed with major competition in both the romance genre and just movies in general? Big idea!!!!!! But as for your answer, in many ways, February and October have changed. February seems to be where animated movies made by smaller studios are released (Escape from Planet Earth, Lego Movie, Spongebob, Illumination's Pets project), along with romcoms and romdrams, with the occasional action movie here and there. October seems to be a lot of horror, a kids movie here and there, and plenty of adult dramas/Oscar bait. For the other months, April, and especially March, seem to be giving a bigger focus on summer blockbusters, while August could make studios put less movies in the June and July area, and January...will still be where the crap goes. With the Oscar season and limited movies rolling in nationwide, January will have the movies that the studios know are bad and won't turn a profit, but a slightly bigger push on MLK weekend. September will also be filled with movies not as bad as January, but ones that won't get a big push on the distributor's slate, with some exceptions. Now I'm fine with how the release calendar works for now, but any change is welcome!

Shame. Boxoffice.com, while nice, had nowhere near as good writers as Ray Subers, as well as having a clearer calendar to show what's limited and what's not. Now what do we do?

Come onnnnnnn...

More Lego shiz? Please stop milking this Warner.
