No to mention its box office actually quite decent as a foreign language film distributed by unknown distributor. But so far I have yet seen enough of industry recognition for the film outside of best foreign language film. Not sure its 3 hours runtime will deter voters from watching.

Stewart is falling faster than Carey Mulligan last year in just two days after losing both GG and snub even for nomination, proving resistance among voters against once badly perceived actress. Similar thing happened to adam sandler, no matter how great his performance in Uncut gems, they just decided to ignore him because his brand as a actor

As Focus Feature top contender this year, Belfast 6.9m is actually not much higher than their PYM. Speaking of Studio performance, Searchlight maybe missing the Oscar BP race for the 1st time since 2017 Oscar. I start suspecting drive my car may coming out from nowhere and surprise the race, either in BP or Best Director. The buzz has been building and passionate. It is now the sixth (and first non-English-language) film to win Best Picture from all three major U.S. film critics' groups (Los Angeles Film Critics Association, New York Film Critics Circle and National Society of Film Critics) after Goodfellas, Schindler's List, L.A. Confidential, The Hurt Locker and The Social Network. All of them are final BP nominees. The only "problem" is the film being non-english and it is in the hand of the super-mini distributor called Janus FILM.

On 2nd thought, maybe I should thank China for banning Marvel.

Not sure why but NWH weekend number seem super solid and bold well for passing Avatar. I thought Kingman can be biggest disaster of the season but MaTrix 4 took that title fasrt. TKM hold well. GB:A hold last two weeks have been super good.

LP's 20-25% decline is a solid hold since there is no expansion this week.

I just realised the teaser actually have a decent number of views at about 9.6m.

Malaysia Top 10 highest grossing film of 2021 as of 04 Jan 2022. 1. NWH: RM55.1m ~ $13.2m 2. GvK: RM20.1m ~$4.8m 3. Eternals: RM11.1m ~ $2.65m 4. V2: RM7.96m ~$1.9m 5. SC: RM7.9m ~ $1.85m 6. Demon Slayer: RM5.5m ~$1.3m 7. NTTD: RM5.0m ~$1.2m 8. Annaatthe (Local movie) RM4.0m ~$0.95m 9. Kingsman: RM3.8m ~$0.9m 10. Mortal Kombat: RM3.6m ~$0.86m The movies released in Sep to Nov was heavily impacted by the vaccination rules which denied the entry of those below 16 (since they had yet eligible for vaccination) . However, the rules was lifted 2 weeks before NWH and cinema see immediate return of family business.

Let' see if Scream 4 breakout (if it ever happened) will change Sony mind like how SC did for V2. If not, they maybe planning for something bigger.

Looking forward for Belle release in NA. This could be the biggest hit for GKIDS since weathering with you in early 2020.

Surprise hit is always important for box office as they iron out the flop and disappointment, like how Joker offset the impact of T:DF or Sonic mitigate the disappointment of BoP, and to a certain degree, KO compensated the TROS decline from TLJ. Surprise breakout provide stabilizer for box office cycle but the problem since the reopening is the lack of unexpected hit to offset the flop or disappointment that happened almost every week. We only have FG that offset the TSS disaster and JC for Space Jam collapse. Since then, I can't remember a single hit that we can all agree that it is surprise breakout.

I just realised the new year weekend isn't even hitting 100m in total.....seem like we are off to bad start and Batman likely a NWH of Q1 2022.

Seem like LP still keep on its current location until sometime near Oscar nomination. I am not sure if the movie will hit streaming before their next expansion or they will just give it up altogether.

I don't get the hate. I agree this is probably the weaker crafted Mckay's film but the satire storyline is still mostly effective and spot on. One may see this as comedy but I would argue this piece of comedy is probably the closest representation of our reality. Given the blending of comedy-approach and close-to documentary storyline, I think we have a new genre called "comentary".

So the year 2021 closed out with 4.55bn. I thought the market can hit $5bn but some mishap here and there, from NTTD & Eternals underperformance, to Matrix 4 & TSS bomb, to almost zero presence of surprise hit since reopening and the completely drained small/mid-sized market, the market failed to even hit half of the 2019. And, for 2nd year in a row, China is the biggest box office market of the world which domestic may not be able to reclaim it.

They could have try one last expansion before the movie completely out from theater. But considering they didn't do this with NTTD, unlikely HoC will get one. Luckily the movie still get 3x multipliers (thanks to thanksgiving opening) to 50m total

Judging from past year data and some reference from South Africa and Germany, the current NWH wave should peak in mid-Jan and likely start decline until next MCU event.

Is it just me or patrick wilson really look like Chris pratt in this movie ??

I feel like Stewart has a chance ended up like Carey Mulligan last year, when her buzz last year gradually decline as the award season, to the point that she has to sit in a dark corner during the ceremony.

Sing 2 has reached half of the Sing 1 here in Mexico in $USD, pacing faster than domestic market. Can it still hit 10m given the holiday is over ?

NWH is challenging IW number everywhere else, so I really think 90m should be the range. So there is at least 30m that NWH lose to Korea here. Also, I don't have the data but I feel SK is one of the slowest market to recover from Covid19

Glad to see this film come close to doubling TBALC. It is funny to see even if China allowed all MCU this year, all 3 Chinese mega blockbusters will still stay where they are in the 2021 worldwide rank.

How can you all dismissing Jan/Feb when the moon is falling to theater on 04 Feb ? A 140m film that Roland "mysteriously" got.

LP gross this week is a bit disappointing (-35%) considering the movie only have 2 days wide debut, instead of 3 in last weekend. Likely final total at around 10m, unless they are expanding to 2000+ locations.

If TFA, IW, or EG couldn't crack the list, I doubt NWH can. This isn't a socially relevant film that Academy love to acknowledge like Selma or the Post or The blind side, that you can just get yourself a lone nomination elsewhere and suddenly appear in the BP list. The only advantage NWH has right now is the 10 slot rules. People keep mentioning that EG or NWH as a ROTK moment equivalent for MCU and Spiderman without realising that before ROTK oscar sweep, both TTT and FOTR were heavily nominated in various categories leading to the finale, suggest that members had been paying attention to LOTR before checking everything off during ROTK . Something that MCU or Spiderman didn't have.
