Assassin's Creed is most likely not even gonna make $60M in total and Passengers is likely to finish below $100M at this point, so probably not.

Yikes.

Kinky.

At least Downsizing should be good (Alexander Payne, everyone). Jumanji will likely be the backup choice for families sold out from Episode 8, and Pitch Perfect 3 will still make a profit even if it sees a big dip from the second one.

Maybe if Hollywood was actually hiring him these days. Alas...

Look at poor Rebecca Ferguson third-wheeling.

Can't be worse than being in Collateral Beauty, the "heartwarming" holiday tale about gaslighting your friends.

Poor Alicia Vikander. She should bail on Tomb Raider if she still has the chance. Abandon all hope.

This was interesting but flawed. Deserves props for not going the traditional biopic route while still highlighting what a fascinating person Jackie Kennedy was, but this was a bit too clinical for me. Natalie Portman is outstanding and deserves her impending Oscar nomination, though. B

The 5-day should still be around $30M which seems fine enough. But yeah, it does raise questions of how much a JLaw/Pratt film would've done had it actually been appealing.

"There was a comment in one of the reviews that he starts the movie as a 19 year old and "Affleck can't pass for a day under 35." I can't remember which review it was." Oh Ben. Even DiCaprio knows he's reached the point where he can no longer get away with that.

And now Why Him? has made its way down to the low 30% area on RT too. Movie studios to audiences: "We want you to see Star Wars instead, for the second year in a row."

Thank you!

Also @Grand Moff Tele I put in that request yesterday.

Man, the end of the year has produced so many critical duds from talented people. Collateral Beauty, Passengers, Assassin's Creed, now this. Just goes to show you can't win them all.

Last year Christmas fell on a Friday. Since this place started in 2011 (when the schedule last lined up), how did you handle it then or was it a completely different site then?

There has been so much running through the stages of grief these past several days.

At least he didn't completely embarrass himself like Jesse Eisenberg did.

It made $46M against a $60M budget. It certainly wasn't a hit for the studio.

Gangster Squad says hi.

Yeah, they're expanding this in just the right way. Wait until the holidays pass and we're fully into awards season to take advantage of the building buzz.

As I said, it should do better in limited and wide release than Live by Night will. It's probably not gonna make much more than Deepwater Horizon did, though.

It should at least do better than Live by Night on account of having much better reviews. I'm not expecting its limited run to mean much, it's only getting such to compete for awards.

Is this gonna be the weekend thread since it's a technically gonna be a 6-day opening for the today's trio of openers?
