    Rules Don't Apply and Bleed for This, of course.

    All of this talk of director's and no one mentions Zemeckis rough run recently? Haven't seen Allied yet (soon) but I'm actually kinda sad he is looking at two big misses in a row. Oh well, at least he's given us the closest thing to a Christmas classic this generation (The Polar Express) which will continue to make dough for many years to come.

    lmao I recently saw Always again (for the first time in like eons) on Netflix for some reason. Talk about a forgotten Spielberg effort. Not to mention Ghost came along the following year and beat it all on fronts.

    This opens here next weekend, so excited.

    It's expected going to be in at least 800-900 theaters by December 16 according to Roadside Attractions.

    Not really. I'll just be surprised if it doesn't clear $200M with ease given the total lack of family competition. A good comparison is 1999's Stuart Little, which really cleaned up over the holidays due to having zero competition (and adjusts to well over $200M today).

    He's too poor to go after any competition these days.

    Nate Parker set up his own interviews well before Birth of a Nation opened and the aftermath that followed caused the film to die before it even opened. But mostly the timing of it is just suspect. Why not even two months ago? Affleck's been a frontrunner for the nom since it screened at Sundance. The only way the story catches on is if there are more victims waiting to reveal themselves (even though, as we've seen in this hellish election, that unfortunately might not even matter).

    I honestly don't care either way, especially when the case was settled out of court years ago. My point still stands: Oscar campaigning is becoming more and more vicious each year. Especially when that article was likely only generated for hits in the first place.

    1) no he doesn't and 2) thanks for playing this week's game of Trying It. That article was completely orchestrated and timed for release by The Daily Beast btw. Just goes to show that Oscar campaigning is becoming just as bad as political campaigning.

    Cult Classic has become replaced by Tumblr Classic.

    The Garrett Hedlund Curse.

    Truth. They showed the trailer before Moana yesterday and these dudes were Cracking. Up. over the Nicki Minaj bunnies.

    Rules Don't Apply's numbers are even more embarrassing tbh. It's not even gonna make as much as Town & Country did, and that film was of course a most miserable flop.
  17. filmlover
    This is making as much as The Secret Life of Pets.

    The movie was doing virtually no business last weekend and most theaters have now put it down to 1 showtime a day everywhere, where it continues to draw no audience.

    Some plays just don't lend themselves to movies, or can't fully overcome their stage origins. Take August: Osage County, for example. Hard to make people yelling at each other for two hours nonstop feel very cinematic.
  20. filmlover
    It's based on a play. Hard for it not to.

    I saw that it was written by Pete Hammond and closed the link, sorry.
  22. filmlover
    That would be hilarious. All of BOT to @CJohn:

    Take Tele Jr. to see Moana ASAP, old fool.

    Every theater around me showing it has dropped it to 1 show a day so I won't be surprised if it's in less than 100 theaters next weekend.
