Jackie will be expanding to 300-325 theaters over the Christmas frame.

Has anyone noticed how poorly Lion is doing? Got some nominations from the Golden Globes and 1 from SAG this week and yet it dipped by 22.5% despite adding 1 theater. Weinstein is such a mess.
Jackie is kinda stalling a bit in limited release, although I guess that could be because Manchester by the Sea and La La Land have stolen its thunder on the specialty market. We'll see how it does when it reaches 250-300 theaters next weekend.
I'll pull up this post when it makes more than Passengers (in the long run, that is).
Fittingly enough, I'm thinking the bad buzz surrounding Passengers will send people that would've seen it in the direction of La La Land.
The Fences number is kinda weak but I think Paramount shouldn't have added the limited start so late in the game. It should still do really well over Christmas when it goes wide.
It doesn't. Gosling and Stone are the only people who do anything at all in La La Land. John Legend is the only other person in the movie who doesn't make a one scene cameo among the familiar faces in the supporting cast, and he still has less than 5 minutes of actual screen time. Giving it an Ensemble nom would've been really pushing it.
I forgot to mention that Will Smith goes on a LOT of angry bike rides in this movie. If you made a drinking game out of it, you'd be passed out by the time the credits started.
Everyone here should see this movie tbh. It's hard to believe such an asinine script apparently made a desired list at all.
