Pot A: Moana Gross Pot B: Resident Evil OW Pot C: Fifty Shades 2nd Weekend Drop Pot D: Why Him Total Gross Pot E: Sing Worldwide Gross Pot F: La La Land Oscar Nominations

http://deadline.com/2016/11/matthew-mcconaughey-gold-january-27-date-shift-stephen-gaghan-awards-season-1201858215/ Now limited release, expands to wide on Jan. 27th.

Yeah. Beyond was awesome and might be my favorite of the Trek reboot trilogy, although it and '09 are kinda interchangeable and depend on what mood I'm in.

If I can join the tentpole argument, this season the only tentpoles I've really gotten a kick out of are Deadpool and all of the Idris Elba movies (well, except maybe Finding Dory, but I still really enjoyed it). The rest that I've seen thus far mainly fit into the "fun, but forgettable" category. But of course, I've never really had much interest in tentpole movies, even as a kid, minus a couple of franchises (Spider-Man, Potter, Pirates). When I got into high school, the only movies I cared about were the Oscarbaits, indies, and some of the cartoons, with only two or three big tentpoles grabbing my attention in a typical season.

Hi dcasey. Almost forgot you were a thing. @Nutella of Arabia

I come home from Arrival, changed by such amazingness, and I'm greeted with bad drops and a weaker than expected opening for Edge of Seventeen. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Alright, with all of the craziness going on, here's my two cents: I definitely feel that many of us overpredicted Fantastic Beasts, but to be fair, a lot of signs pointed towards it being huge. Presales seemed strong, Cursed Child was a huge hit, and it was supposed to kick off 4 other movies instead of 2, which showed that WB was super-confident with it. And on its own, if the OW is above $70M, it's definitely a great number. It works as a good launchpad for a franchise, and if it gets around $750M WW, I'm certain WB would be happy. But again, this is supposed to start a 5-movie series, and I don't see something that might not even cross $200M as the perfect place to start. I'll gladly eat crow if there's some major increase for the sequel, or if it has crazy good legs, but I do feel there should be a hint of hesitance. As for the whole Rogue One thing, I do feel Beasts is a good indicator for there being a potential big drop from what's expected. But that's just it: a potential big drop. Star Wars as of now is in a much better situation in terms of films, as this movie comes hot off the heels of the biggest domestic earner of all time, and this one promises to have a much bigger connection to the original series than Fantastic Beasts did. Juding off the trailers, Rogue One promises stormtroopers, AT-ATs, Vader, and the Death Star, all being key features of the original trilogy and film franchise as a whole. Fantastic Beasts has wands...a character from the book that wasn't in any of the movies...fantasy creatures...yeah, that's about it. But again, only time will tell, and quite frankly, I feel that if Rogue One is at least close to half of what TFA got domestically, I'd say Disney would be happy with that. Also, to EmpireCity, if you want people to PM you about their grievances, why aren't you doing the same to other people?

Also, yipes on that FB number.

I don't really remember Tele being that hyped for WW. For the Comic-Con trailer, he thought it looked solid, and for the second trailer, all he said was "I'm surprised you guys are so down on this". Doesn't scream super-hyped to me.

Nah. They're saving the goods for the actual movie. WB knows Queen Brie will be amazing in this, so they want to take everyone by surprise. And thus, the Year of the Brie will start with everyone talking about her.

Red for Inferno, likely green or gold for Strange, likely dark blue or green for Trolls, and likely burgundy for Arrival. So far, I'm doing better than I thought.
