I'm assuming only American films are allowed in these awards ceremonies

Guys, what did Puss in Boots: The Last Wish make on Wednesday? I have no clue what the numbers are.

Today’s Thursday. So you mean she got nearly 30 million followers in one day? That’s crazy

It’s worse than that. January 28 is “80 for Brady Sneak Preview”. Then January 31 is “80 for Brady BFF Night Out”. Then February 1 is “80 for Brady Ladies Night Out”. That’s three days of sneak previews. Who demanded three days for this?

Do you think Martin Luther King is happy about this? 🤔

Okay.

That's not a movie title. That's just the name of one of his grills!

I mean 64% is still way higher than I expected. Thought this woulda been a 33% clunker.

And...that’s it. You can probably guess that I’m not expecting much from 2023 barring one or two major hits. And even then, this is probably going to be the first time in a while that a film hasn't hit 500M+ domestically. Sadly, there’s no reason for me not to feel this way. I know there’s a lot of optimism that people want to go back to the theaters and that everybody hates watching movies at home now and the studios will ditch their streaming services forever and we’ll all sing kumbaya at our local AMC multiplexes...but that’s not gonna happen. It’s more than obvious that a good chunk of people want to stay home, even for the big theatrical events, and we are never going back to the good old days. This is a new era for this silly little hobby of ours, and it’s one that I doubt many of us will be happy with. The big stories are losing their impact and the little stories don’t exist anymore. But hey, at least we have our community to vent out our frustrations with. So let’s enjoy this brotherhood of man and complain about everything together. Thank you so much to @WrathOfHanfor saying yes and doing this again with me for the first time in three years. I was planning on doing this no matter what, but it’s always fun to have a second opinion, especially for films that we are totally split on. Hoping that your 2023 is a great one in your personal life and I wish you nothing but prosperity and good luck. And of course, a tremendous super-duper extra huge thank you to everybody who reacted to our posts and responded in our thread, whether it be yelling about how wrong we are or giving your own predictions for what the year has in store. I love talking with you guys about the box office and it was really fun hearing your guys' input on all the upcoming tentpoles. Can’t wait to do this all over again next Christmas, and I hope everybody else here is excited too. And hopefully my negativity bites me in the butt this year. For all our sakes really.

December 25 Aquaman and the Last Kingdom: At last, we are finally done. I’ve been down on almost every superhero movie this year, but even though this has the same issue of “Gunn/Safran are rebooting everything, so who fucking cares”, this one...will be fine. There’s already excitement for this judging by The Quorum, the first Aquaman was a solid crowdpleaser, this likely has a lot of the same fun and thrills, and...well, there’s nothing else for the normies to watch this holiday season. It should still see a decline, but not as bad as some of the more gloomy prognosticators have it at. 25 (OD)/305
