What is with Jamie Foxx's face? Dude looks like a video game character.

Just as a bit of a heads up for people, I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to start the countdown today. Work has been an absolute pain this week, so I haven't been able to get as much progress on my write-ups than I intended to, I'm hoping to catch C'mon C'mon later today, and tracking for Spider-Man just takes up an obscene amount of time. I'll see if I can get something out today, but I might have to push things tomorrow.

I will do it starting next week. I did a cursory glance at some AMCs yesterday and it didn't sell too much, but this isn't really a film that will have huge upfront sales, even with it being based off a popular musical. That's what makes me a professional 😎 And in all fairness, Sing 2 doesn't have that many shows. Outside of a couple theaters, Sing 2 only has like 2-4 shows per theater, so it only takes me a couple minutes to check, especially since a couple theaters have like...three sales or just flat-out none. Matrix will likely be a bigger problem, but it'll still likely only be like 4 shows per theater to check, at least pre-NWH's opening, so I don't see it being that huge a deal.

Reactions aren't bad, but still pretty muted for Nightmare Alley. Should do well in techs, but Best Picture probably ain't happening.
