  1. Here in the US recent ads have started to bill her as well and she shares top billing on the poster.
  2. I love that Felicity Jones has started to get top billing alongside Hanks in the marketing. Girl is coming for everything (box office, Oscars, maybe the world too if she's that thirsty).
  3. Guessing it makes around $300M worldwide total. Not nearly as strong as the first two but I don't think anyone expecting it to be considering Angels & Demons was 7 years ago.
  4. There have already been people within the industry claiming that the Nate Parker scandal is gonna change how deals are made at the festivals and that studios will be doing background checks before signing 8-figure deals. Because Birth of a Nation was completely sunk by the controversy.
  5. Billy Lynn failing frees this category up a bit. I think Jenkins could sneak in, small movies have gotten in before.
  6. Unlikely. It's gonna begin shedding theaters too quickly once November arrives. $80M+ is possible though.
  7. Not my point. My point was that being the only horror movie in the month of October won't automatically give you solid numbers. I don't see any reason to expect Ouija 2 to open better than that did, especially with the ad campaign being so muted.
  8. It's just funny that someone who started their career on some innocuous TV series has made a career out of playing such psychotic characters as an adult. Relax, Father Time.
  9. Being the only horror movie in all of October did nothing for the Carrie remake three years ago.
  10. The ad campaign for Ouija has been really muted. Thinking it opens sub-$10M before it opens to $20M.
  11. Has anyone mentioned that Birth of a Nation fell almost 70% week-to-week? This movie is gonna go down in the books for contradicting the belief that there's no such thing as bad publicity.
  12. This is getting rave reviews at NYFF with some calling it as sure to be among the best movies of 2017. Also, rave reviews across the board for Charlie Hunnam. Looks like the list of Bland White Dudes Hollywood Wants to Make Happen has lost a member!
  13. It's WB's main push this year (Live By Night looks like a tech push) and it's probably gonna make more than every other movie in the running with the only movies that seem to have potential make more being La La Land and Arrival. I have it in my lineup as well.
  14. Cookie gonna bring her broom to whoever doesn't vote for her.
  15. I'm kinda shocked nobody has created a highlight reel on YouTube of all the nutty characters Ben Foster has played throughout his career. And to think he got his big break on a Disney Channel show when he was a teen lmao.
  16. A Love & Friendship A- Eye in the Sky Finding Dory Hell or High Water The Jungle Book Zootopia B+ 10 Cloverfield Lane Bridget Jones's Baby Captain America: Civil War Deadpool Don't Breathe Everybody Wants Some!! Ghostbusters Hello, My Name is Doris The Nice Guys Sausage Party B Bad Moms Central Intelligence Deepwater Horizon Eddie the Eagle How to Be Single Kung Fu Panda 3 Me Before You Money Monster The Secret Life of Pets The Shallows Star Trek Beyond Sully B- Florence Foster Jenkins The Girl on the Train Jason Bourne The Magnificent Seven Nerve Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping War Dogs Whiskey Tango Foxtrot X-Men: Apocalypse C+ 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi The Accountant The Boss Hail, Caesar!

  17. Ben Affleck certainly gives a very good performance in this unusual twist on the spy story (in which the protagonist has autism, which is thankfully handled tastefully), but The Accountant becomes so bogged down in preposterous storytelling and jarring tonal shifts that it never really finds its groove. Affleck is really what keeps the film afloat, as the talented supporting cast can't do much with their paper thin characters (Anna Kendrick is resigned to playing damsel in distress while J.K. Simmons is called upon only to be the movie's source of lengthy exposition). There are a couple of nifty of action scenes, but there's still an overwhelming feeling overall that this isn't nearly as compelling as it should be. It might be worth a rainy day rental though. C+
  18. Madea Terrorizes Halloween- $21M Jack Reacher- $17M Ouija- $14M Keeping Up with the Joneses- $7M
  19. Now officially a 2016 release: it'll get a qualifying launch on Christmas Day. That means: 20th Century Women Hidden Figures Live by Night A Monster Calls Patriots' Day Silence Will all be starting their qualifying runs on Christmas weekend. Oof. It'll be interesting to see how they fare PTA wise.
