Dang, we got a dark horse ladies and gentlemen.

Can't wait for it to turn Chalabae into the new DiCaprio. (And I guess Rebecca Ferguson too. Just wanna be charitable to @Alli)

I still want that Haunted Mansion movie made (yes I know Crimson Peak is basically that, shut up). The Eddie Murphy movie is awful trash garbage, and the ride deserves so much more than that filth, and it should be made from a brilliant creative like him.

...I'm genuinely curious what the post was.

Does The Tick count?

Having Ali explain the situation definitely helps, but I think it also helps that Viggo's not a very popular figure. The last commercial movie he was in was Hidalgo, or I guess Appaloosa if you want to be charitable. If it was Tom Cruise or something who accidentally blurted out the n word, things would probably be different. This also applies to Schrader. Only movie nerds like us know who he is, so it'll likely blow over and Hawke won't be affected that much. Original Screenplay on the other hand could be different.

Seems expected, but good for all openers. Also, this Sunday, Grinch will officially be the 200th 200M domestic grosser...yay?

@WrathOfHan and @Morieris are right. Ralph Breaks the Internet is better than Wreck-It Ralph (of course I just think the first Ralph's pretty average, so maybe that's not saying much. )

He gave his full thoughts on Letterboxd. Got me hyped https://letterboxd.com/demiadejuyigbe/film/mary-poppins-returns/

https://pro.boxoffice.com/long-range-tracking-kid-king-serenity/ Kid: 15/50 Serenity: 10/30 Engines: 13/46 (-7%) Mule: 16/80 Spider Verse: 30/135 (+3%) Aquaman: 58/212 (+6%) Poppins: 38/320 There’s also something called Arctic Dogs opening on the 19th of January...do people know what that movie is? Anyway, that’s at 5.5/17

The Amazon preview numbers will count for the total, but likely not for the opening weekend. Just as its own separate thing Jumanji and Hotel Transylvania 3's BOM pages list their Amazon previews on a separate day.

It's weird they waited this long to upload the trailer publicly. I got the trailer in front of Halloween a month ago.

I believe the next trailer will be centered on Gidget.

In your subjective opinion.

Sadly DW hasn't done this as much anymore, and the only other arguable comps are BP and IW which are hundreds of posts away, and I can't be bothered to do it. But it seems good for a lot of movies. Spider-Verse has only been on sale for three days (maybe two if DW only has Wednesday and Thursday results), so it getting close to 100K in a short timespan is very, very good. Also good that Mary Poppins is reaching 200K in only 5 days. Aquaman's been out longer at 11 days, but that's also really strong as well. Bumblebee seems pretty weak, as does Mortal Engines.

A lot of tweets seem like "good not great" material. It'll still be positive, but reviews will probably be more 7/10 than 9/10.

That seems good for SV, MPR, and AM, right?

I think Lin's only being campaigned for Lead so that he can get a Globe nom for Best Actor - Comedy or Musical. Maybe Disney is more interested in Picture and Blunt when it comes to the Oscars than Lin. Although maybe Lin plays a big part in the movie or has a lot of screentime.

...sure. Why not?

I'm aware. Still annoys me.

Names don't match with the actors.
