Wrath

Honestly, I think thought the songs were underwhelming this time. Kristof’s “Lost in the Woods” was hilarious, but it was all in the presentation and not the song itself.

Just saw it with 12-year old daughter who pronounced it “straight trash”. She’s a little old for the target demographic, but she loved the first one and I’m not encouraged for it’s legs.

Pity. You missed a lovely trainwreck.

1. Will Frozen to more than $120M? 1000 YES 2. Will Frozen Open to more than $150M? 2000 NO 3. Will Frozen Open to more than $135M? 3000 YES 4. Will Frozen increase on Saturday? 4000 YES 5. Will Frozen make more than 75% of the total gross of the top 5 movies of the weekend? 5000 NO (I mean, this includes Frozen since it'll be in the top 5, so everything else's total gross would have to be less than 1/3 of what Frozen opens to. Ford vs Ferrari should be easily over 50M by then, so Frozen would have to open over 150M just to hit that mark between it and Ford vs Ferrari. Add in everything else and there's just no way) 6. Will Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood open to more than $13M? 1000 YES 7. Will Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood open to more than $16M? 2000 YES 8.

Will this weekend get back to normal, or is Frozen opening to $52,5M million because cinema is dead? 5000 LET CINEMA GO! LET IT GO! CAN'T HOLD IT TOGETHER ANYMORE!

Those 4 are kinda all in different boats. - Doctor Sleep and Charlie's Angels are totally dead. Huge, smoking craters which will contribute nothing anywhere. - Last Christmas will *probably* join them, but it might get lucky and hang on long enough to make the multi list. - Terminator is a disappointment, but still fine for game purposes. Its almost a lock to make the WW chart, its got a fighting chance of making the Dom chart, and if almost everything else also bombs it could even sneak onto the OW chart.

Wk4 - Yes. I'm confident, and feel confident about feeling confident.

Well, it’s supposed to be a SURPRISE, right? I’ll get you a copy of Ghostbusters and pay for it with Italian Lira I’ve been hanging onto for years and never converted! You won’t see THAT coming.

Someone in the Weekend thread described it as "One weird movie."

Seriously, this is the worst post, ever. By those standards, Parasite is a boring, uncreative piece of crap. Foreign language tone-changer on class and family issues with a couple twists? Been done a million times. Who would bother with such a yawner?

Sitting pretty at #8.

Awesome!

Nuts. Well, it was a vote based on hope rather analysis, and those often end up going wrong. Wk2 - Yes

Sure, sounds entertaining. To be clear, it’d presumably be movie-related and no porn (random strangers mailing me porn would concern my wife), right?

Holy moly! Twists and turns aplenty! And... oops. Not my finest week.

Oh, ty, good point. I know one of these Oscar questions doesn’t follow the game calendar, now to figure out which one it was...

Eh, its not that bad. BOM still mostly works. It just sucks now.

Had it the whole time. I was never worried.
