I actually think the way JWFK ended sets up a potentially great sequel with higher stakes.

If they build on that premise and make it appealing in the trailers, I'd say the sequel's OW has a chance to increase.

Great for Fallen Kingdom! $1.2B here we come!

Congrats Universal and Bayona!

Yay for Conan! My favorite anime and manga. Incredible success this year.

Happy for Universal! The only studio aside from Disney that continues to churn $1B WW movies with several franchises.

Since 2014, no other studio aside from Disney and Universal has succeeded in reaching $1B WW with any of its movies.

Sony in 2017 came close with Jumanji but still couldn't reach the mark.

How much did Conan make/drop?

Fantastic record especially that it opened on Friday and burned some demand there!

So Conan 22 is looking at a record Sunday and Coco is looking at a single-digit Sunday drop, easily the best among the three. 

 

As of 9 pm :

 

Coco -8.9%

Boss Baby -19.3%

Doraemon -33.8%

Will it beat Conan 21's OW?

Those articles from AwardsWatch on the Best Animated Feature race - they have Erik Anderson listed as the author at the top, but the bio at the bottom is that of Mina Takla, which I presume is you. What's going on there? I've noticed this for a while but haven't asked, today my curiosity is getting the better of me.

Hi Jason, thanks for asking!

Yes that's me indeed - I am the foreign correspondent of Awards watch and all year long, I go to film festivals (Cannes, Venice, Berlin, BFI London and Annecy) and write weekly Oscar pieces on 2 races: Best Animated Feature and Best Foreign Language Film. I started working with them on these articles last year and covered both races across around 50 articles. 

Erik  Anderson - the manager of the website - uploads all these pieces (I send them to him in word format) and since he's the website admin as well as being its founder and manager, any article he posts (whether by me or his), the CMS of the website counts it as "by Erik" since he uploaded it. That's why we made my name appear in the footer since I am not uploading them on my own.

Next month I will be in Cannes and will be covering all animated films there on Awards Watch - stay tuned!

Thanks for posting these, written by yours truly:) I forgot to add them here on the forum.

It will finish #5 os for the year, displacing POTC5 and behind F8, WW2, DM3 and BATB.
