    Last Saturday, acclaimed Taiwanese director Ang Lee attended the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival and talked about his latest production ‘Gemini Man’ during an interview session. Ang Lee reveals that he will continue to use high frame rate in this movie. In addition, he will use VR technology, although the movie itself is not a VR movie. Starring Will Smith, ‘Gemini Man’ tells the story of a retired assassin who faces off against himself, a clone who is 25 years younger.

    Quick thoughts:

     

    -Star Wars had a bad drop mainly due to it being Xmas Eve, and it's clear the film's WOM isn't the strongest, but it's still very impressive, and it's on track to being the third biggest movie domestically. Although it will be interesting to see what Disney will do going forward.

     

    -Jumanji did stellar work, which definitely surprised me. I guess starpower and a good concept really does work wonders during the holiday season. Good to see Sony has a new potential franchise under their belt, even though I can't see how a Jumanji sequel would work.

     

    -Pitch Perfect 3 did atrocious. But in hindsight, I guess it made sense. Looking at the previews, the film screamed "we ran out of ideas, and we're trying to see what sticks," at least to me. Even though it'll probably break even, it's definitely a sour note to end on for the series.

     

    -Greatest Showman did about what I expected. A nice $70-80M gross.

     

    -Downsizing and Father Figures were LOL-tastic. Not much else to add there.

     

    -'CMBYN, Darkest Hour, and Shape of Water had great expansions. The last two seem on track to gross above $50M, while Call Me seems poised for a solid $25M and secure all there Best Picture noms, so kudos to them.

     

    -Lady Bird outgrossed Moonlight to become A24's biggest movie. Wonderful to see.

     

    -The Post had a great OW and PTA. I can't wait to see what Molly's Game and Phantom Thread do tomorrow.

     

    -I, Tonya seems kinda weak, but it could pick up some steam during January and February and make around something like Room, or at the very least The Lobster.

    At my theater, The Greatest Showman's second screen (average screen) got its later showings scrapped on Saturday and Sunday for more Jumanji (the 4:00 on Sunday couldn't be scrapped because seats have sold). Like I said earlier, Showman is more of a morning movie, and if my audience was any indication today, it isn't really skewing to families.

    Eh, I never really considered Greatest Showman a family movie. I always thought it was going to be a Walter Mitty/Hidden Figures, where it's skewed and mainly marketed towards adult audiences, in spite of a PG rating and Fox arguably wanting to appeal towards the youth (The trailer was attached to a handful of animated movies, and it also had Zefron and Zendaya)

    Oh, and I had some interesting trailer reactions at my showing (a quiet audience throughout the movie though). The audience was evenly split between teens and seniors, and the seniors loved the trailers for Sherlock Gnomes and Peter Rabbit while they despised the trailer for Love, Simon. The teens were the exact opposite :lol: Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again unified the audience positively at least!

    Good to know today's youth is on the right track.
