  1. Disappointing, but I think that kind of information wasn't meant for us in the first place, so it's understandable.
  2. http://deadline.com/2017/11/what-women-want-taraji-p-henson-mel-gibson-paramount-players-what-men-want-1202208131/ Paging @CJohn @filmlover and @WrathOfHan (you're a Taraji stan, right?)
  3. Oh, I don't want an animated Zelda. I want an epic-scale LOTR-style Zelda movie. That's got plenty of potential to be great, or at least pretty decent. Go big or go home.
  4. Well, the only other film within my data I can maybe compare it to is My Little Pony, which ended Thursday with only 73 tickets sold. Obviously, that's a big improvement, but I don't think it's fair to compare the two movies. Thor ended with 913 tickets sold, so Justice League is in good shape (but I think I stopped looking at Thor on the Tuesday before release) I guess if we're going by predictions, Wonder definitely seems like it'll hit the high teens at least, and Justice League will probably do around $135M or so. Won't really do Coco until a couple days from now.
  5. Theater Update: Justice League 823 3713 22.17% Wonder 305 1507 20.24% Coco 95 2327 4.08% Justice League doubled its showtimes just this evening, while Wonder also added one to each day. Both are still doing well, and I'm sure Justice League will surge thanks to the added showtimes and it being release week. And for those wondering, no, my theater isn't getting The Star. Even more hilarious is that my theater has kept Ninjago since its September release, and will continue to do so, even with the inclusion of Wonder. Basically, my theater would rather keep a movie that I assume only gets two or three tickets a week over a new animated release. Coco also saw a decent amount added to it, but I don't expect it to grow significantly until release week. Star Wars and Fifty Shades also have showtimes up, but I'm really tired, so I'll probably look at them tomorrow.
  6. http://variety.com/2017/film/news/weinstein-company-bankruptcy-paddington-2-sale-1202613482/ So...it doesn't have a new studio...I think? All this legal stuff is confusing me.
  7. Seems a touch too optimistic, especially with Coco and Ferdinand waiting in the wings. I'd think $80-85M, which is still impressive either way.
  8. There's also a UK Trailer, which is far superior, if only because of the song choice.
  9. http://deadline.com/2017/11/mollys-game-kevin-spacey-afi-all-the-money-in-the-world-1202206651/ Replacing All the Money as the Closing Film at AFI Fest.
  10. While of course it's important to give credit to the other distributors and companies for their SH movies, it's honestly pretty impressive what Marvel Studios has done this year. Within just one year, they've managed to release three $300M domestic grossers, all from different "franchises." (I know the MCU technically counts as a franchise, but...y'know what I mean.) Has any other studio managed to pull three $300M domestic grosses in just one year?
  11. I already admitted and made a club about how I think Jumanji will underperform for many reasons (family competition, PG-13 rating, unpopular brand, mediocre views and lack of awareness for its second trailer), and while none of these are as bold as that, these are just a few of the things I'm going bold on next year: -The 15:17 to Paris hasn't gotten a lot of $100M predictions yet, but I feel it has an easy shot to cross the mark domestically. While Act of Valor beat the movie to the punch in terms of casting actual soldiers to play soldiers, this has a true-story angle, so having the actors reeenact the events is something that can be easily marketable to the more patriotic Americans. Add on Clint Eastwood fresh off of two hits and an adult counterprogrammer for February, and I think the film will be another solid hit in Eastwood's repertoire. -The Incredibles 2 is something people are being way too high on. For comparison's sake, Finding Nemo was a cultural phenomenon that had unbelievable legs and was one of the biggest-selling DVDs of all time, making it one of those movies every kid has seen. Incredibles isn't up to that level, in spite of the insane Internet hype for the film. It'll still do very well, and I wouldn't be shocked if it hit $400M like many people here believe, but I feel Inside Out numbers are more likely for the film, which isn't bad in the slightest.
  12. I'd also argue Christmas with the Kranks is up there. That film's creepy conformist message still gets under my skin.
  13. For the record, it's pleasant to see the film do so well, but WOM has me a touch worried it will cross the $100M mark (RT's audience score's at 62%), so it's nothing I can get super excited about.
