My theater's first showing for Bad Moms 2 starts in a half-hour, so this is what the Wednesday looks like at the moment. I'll do the other days, as well as all the other movies I look at tickets for later. Bad Moms 2 1:30 7 113 6.19% Bad Moms 2 4:30 4 113 3.54% Bad Moms 2 7:20 66 113 58.41% Bad Moms 2 10:20 0 113 Bad Moms 2 Total 77 452 17.04%

Looks like a blast, and Janney looks like an absolute riot. Also LOL at Sebastian Stan only getting one line in the trailer.

Nah, Wikipedia says he's in it.

Variety says it's okay enough, though leans negative: http://variety.com/2017/film/reviews/a-bad-moms-christmas-review-mila-kunis-kristen-bell-1202602716/ Hollywood Reporter's also negative: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/a-bad-moms-christmas-1053072 TheWrap's also negative: https://www.thewrap.com/a-bad-moms-christmas-film-review-mila-kunis-susan-sarandon/

Yesterday's tickets and showtimes Today: Overall Total: Bad Moms 2 388 3004 12.92% Thor 3 913 3853 23.70% Daddy's Home 2 4 1366 0.29% Orient Express 19 1294 1.47% Justice League 303 1921 15.77% Wonder 41 1294 3.17% Star Wars 2236 4330 51.64% Both Thor and Bad Moms got a bunch more showtimes in, since the rest of the returnees will make diddly squat, and again, both are doing well relative to expectations. Wonder also saw a big boost in tickets sold, thanks to a group or two buying tickets.

Remember the time he said he rooted for the rapist in that movie? Good times, good times.

The third Wonder trailer's already up. Everything else is new.

BOM says Christmas opens in limited on Thanksgiving.

It's like the ending to 1984. Pretty soon, you'll have to accept your fate and conform to Big Brother.

Think I figured out why the trailer's coming so soon. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/behind-screen/dunkirk-could-launch-a-70mm-film-presentation-renaissance-1021854

I guess they're rather confident in the film, if they're giving this a trailer so early.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/schedule/?view=changes&p=.htm Date has been shifted to December 20

With one more week until Lady Bird (and to a lesser extent Last Flag) starts the Oscar box office season, here's just one more look at where I think the race is heading. Again, if I don't mention a movie, you can assume that I think it's dead. Big Sick: I don't see it as a Best Picture nominee. The competition is super fierce, and the film seems too small to really make huge noise. But Supporting Actress and Original Screenplay seem really good. Blade Runner 2049: I would be more confident if its box office was more impressive, but I think Adapted Screenplay and Director are pretty likely. Call Me By Your Name: Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Actor are locks (hush Jake). Director is pretty likely Supporting Actor is iffy, but I think both Hammer and Stuhlbarg will find a way in, thanks to their performances and the strength of the film itself. Darkest Hour: Oldman's locked for the win. Picture and Screenplay are likely, and I feel Kristen Scott Thomas could ride on the film's coattails for Supporting Actress. The category's weak, and I'm sure she has at least one decent scene to make her a possibility. Disaster Artist: Franco and Adapted Screenplay will be the only noms. Dunkirk: Picture and Director are locks, but that's really about it. Florida Project: DaFoe's still an easy nominee, but I'm now even less certain on the film. Box office is only okay thus far, and Prince has been moved to a competitve Actress field, and Director's the only other non-Picture nominee I can see the movie turn up in. Lady Bird still seems like a safer bet. I do have it as an alt though, if Lady Bird or I, Tonya disappoint at the box office. Get Out: Everyday, this movie looks stronger and stronger. Original Screenplay and Picture are locks, and I think Kaluuya has a really strong chance for a Best Actor nomination. The Academy isn't against non-showy performances in the past (see Casey Affleck), and the film itself has garnered acclaim and box office, to the point where it's still talked about and I'd assume every Academy member has already seen it. Add on strong chances for nominations at the Globes and BAFTAs, and an empty Best Actor field (Stronger bombed, Breathe did even worse, Roman Israel probably can't reverse its previous reception, and Tom Hanks has been snubbed many times in the past couple of years), I think Kaluuya can ride on the movie's coattails. Peele? Not as much, but I can see a scenario where he gets in for Director. I, Tonya: Actress? Lock for nomination. Supporting Actress? Lock for win. Picture? Not confident, but I can see it as a lower-tier nominee. Lady Bird: Orignal Screenplay? Likely Actress? Very likely. Supporting Actress? Lock for nomination. Picture? Not as confident as I was before, but it definitely has the potential. Last Flag Flying: Adapted Screenplay's weak, so maybe this can find a way in there, but that's about it. Molly's Game: Actress? It's Chastain vs. Ronan vs. Dench for the last spot. Adapted Screenplay's a lock though. Shape of Water: Picture, Director, Actress, and Supporting Actress are guarantees. Screenplay's super likely too. In terms of Supporting Actor, between Shannon and Jenkins, I'm going with Shannon, if only because he's a bigger name, but I wouldn't be shocked if Jenkins beats him. Three Billboards: I think this will sweep the night. Wins in Picture, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Original Screenplay, with a Director nomination. Victoria & Abdul: Dench has a good shot, thanks to her film's box office, but I'm more partial to Chastain or Ronan. The nominees: Best Picture: 1. Three Billboards 2. Call Me By Your Name 3. The Shape of Water 4. Dunkirk 5. Get Out 6. The Post 7. Darkest Hour 8. I, Tonya 9. Lady Bird ALT: The Florida Project Best Director: 1. Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk 2.
