I don't think it was about the runtime. It's just that it wasn't a showy performance like Emma Stone's
Also, Nicole Kidman and Anthony Hopkins was in the movie that under 2 hours but Lily was in a 3 hours half hour long movie, which naturally give her "more" screentime absolute term. So Lily "absence" was more felt in KOTFM.

Thought the ratings would get a bigger boost with two huge movies leading the awards. At least viewership was up a little.
The telecast also was at a 3.8 demo rating, compared with last year’s 4.0 — down, but not by much.
This expectation for the boost doesn't make sense since last year we had two even bigger movies in the mix, in fact Elvis will still be the third biggest film for 2023 line up.
I feel like the one hour earlier and shorter runtime probably help the older demo to turn in more.

Twitter and I gaslit Ghibli into believing they didn't stand a chance 💀
Super interesting tho that the Academy aligned with HFPA and BAFTAs on this instead of Annie and PGA. Spider-Verse crew turned up for BAFTAs instead of Annies. Heron crew didn't turn up for Oscars. Most chaotic race ever!
So my theory kind of proven??
Suzume getting so much love at Annie probably split the vote from Heron, causing spiderverse to dominate but at the Oscar, the anime/handrawn friendly voters all gather and vote for Heron.

Heron won was definitely my happiest moment in a mostly expected event. It is hard to believe, no matter how much legacy Miyazaki carries, heron actually beat out a heavy favourite, which is at one point considered to have outside shot of best picture nomination.

It was poorly done, not just by the Producers but by Pacino as well. The whole "my eyes see Oppenheimer" with a question mark tone in his voice. Very weird. Nobody was sure if he was joking or what. Compare this with older days. Harrison Ford in 1994: "The Oscar for Best Picture of 1993 goes to...Schindler's List" and he says it with full authority.
With emma stone wining best actress, announced just before best picture, Al-Pacino messy announcement probably was a subtle tribute to La la land vs moonlight mixed up disaster during 89th Oscar?

Never thought Russia market could be this crucial for important milestone.

The lead acting awards basically play out like the VFX or sound awards. Whatever has the "most" acting wins every single time. Not the best. Actress is usually better than Actor with this (I mean that 2015-2020 stretch for actor was just terrible) but still Stone won because she had the showiest performance here out of all the actresses.
I thought ZOI win over Oppenheimer in a showcase of subtlety can win over showy?

if only Spiderverse was part of the MCU. But I know it's all the same. Go with that.
Well it isn’t but I don’t like that movie for featuring that many fanboys bait moment. So I am glad a non-English, PG-13 anime took the prize, a first step for academy to embrace more mature content (dealing with self-harm matter) for animation.

Re-release coming soon? Prove that spirited away won 20 years ago was not because of Disney’s campaign.

Gladstone was not the lead of Flower Moon while Poor things was about Emma. I think the deserved performance won the award.
I really think the screentime factor play the role here. Had Scorsese know she is the film’s biggest chance to win for the KoTFM, will he make the movie more center around her?

Congrats to Oppenheimer but why Al Pacino has to make the announcement so awkward? It looked like the room including music take few second to react to the announcement.

HERON SWEEP!
Boy and the Heron is actually the first PG-13 animation winner in this category.

Yeah it needs to be a good movie in many eyes. But above that, it should be a movie that doesn’t offend much people, especially now with the preferential ballot.
Which is why i think Roma lost to Green Book, or Power Of The Dog lost to Coda. They’re all somewhat decent movies (to most people), but the losers are clearly the better ones. Still, Roma and especially TPOTD probably lost because it pisses off some people. Even if they’re probably the movies with most top choices in the ballots, there’s also people hating it, while the winners was crowd pleasing projects that maybe didn’t get most top votes but are consistently high in the ballots without any backlash.
I think the reason Roma, The power of dog, or 1917 failed to prevail as the eventual winner, is largely attributable to the fact that they are the movie that people respect, appreciate or admire, rather than loving them to the heart. Parasite, Coda or Green book are the kind of movie that voters love it genuinely, despite knowing their flaw. Voters are known to vote with their heart and if one really love a movie from the bottom of their heart, no way they are placing them at the bottom tier.

If Oppenheimer won, this is the first year since Birdman that a Oscar best picture actually match my personal top 1 of the year.

Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 4 came out kicking as it begins a staggered overseas rollout. The fourquel opened to $22.2M in 41 markets which rep just 23% of the international landscape, and put the global debut at $80.5M. Spain was the only major in this first suite as the Jack Black-starrer will continue adding markets in the coming weeks to align with holiday play; it goes to China on March 22.
QuoteSpain led play with $3M including previews. Friday’s opening was the second biggest opening day of the year and the best for an animated title since last summer’s Elemental. KFP4’s Saturday was the biggest for an animated title since Super Mario, and the biggest for DWA since Puss in Boots in 2011. The full weekend is performing above KFP2 and KFP3, and in line with Zootopia and HTTYD3 excluding previews.
Malaysia debuted on Thursday with the biggest studio opening day of the year, No. 3 biggest Universal animation opening day, No. 4 DreamWorks opening day of all time, and the top animated opening day ever including previews. The running total of $2.36M including previews is in line with HTTYD3 and KFP3, and above KFP2 excluding previews.
Indonesia bowed Wednesday with the No. 2 opening day of the year for a studio movie, and the second-best post-pandemic animation opening day (behind Minions: The Rise of Gru), as well as the No. 3 DWA opening ever (after KFP3 and HTTYD3). The full weekend was good for $2.1M including previews.
Vietnam debuted to the biggest opening day ever for an animated title. At current estimates of $1.94M, the weekend is the biggest Hollywood animated opening weekend of all time, the No. 3 biggest Universal opening of ever (after Fast films) and the No. 10 biggest non-local opening weekend in history. The start is over three times higher than KFP3.
Poland punched up $1.6M including previews, above the opening of Super Mario Bros, in line with Zootopia and Ice Age: Collision Course, and well above previous franchise titles (excluding previews).
Other early markets include Argentina ($1.2M and biggest opening day of 2024); Denmark ($1.2M and franchise-best opening); Chile ($1.1M and best DWA opening); and Singapore ($1M and best start of the year).

In IMAX, the sci-fi epic dipped by just 15% globally, with $27.7M from 1,600 screens. The overseas portion of that is $16.6M, down only 25% across the markets that opened last weekend. The international cume climbed to $35.8M and global is $72.4M or 20% of the worldwide cume to date.

Idk where the drops happened but here in Vietnam the thing dropped 1%. Essentially flat. It's like the biggest thing on social media right now.
QuoteTurning back to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, the sci-fi epic added $81M from 72 international markets, just a 36% drop in the holdovers. The overseas cume is now $210.5M, putting global on its way to the four-century mark, currently with $367.5M through Sunday.
Elsewhere, of the 72 released overseas markets, the film ranked as the No. 1 in 57 and as the top U.S. title in 60.
Markets that saw good drops include France (-17%), Germany (-19%), Taiwan (-22%), Brazil (-23%), Holland (-23%), Spain (-27%), Australia (-29%), Italy (-32%), UK (-34%), Hong Kong (-34%), New Zealand (-34%), Singapore (-34%) and Philippines (-35%).

Remove china debut, the holdover markets drop around 40% this session. Looks like the some meh holds in Asia or LATAM offset the great hold in European market.
to be frank I am not entirely certain if this can hit 700m, even knowing that Japan and Middle East are still on their way.

The Boy and the Heron | Hayao Miyazaki | Studio Ghibli | GKIDS | NA Debut at TIFF | WINNER OF THE OSCAR FOR BEST ANIMATED FEATURE
in Box Office Discussion
Posted
It was mentioned GKIDS will re-release the movie (technically it is still in theater) later this month. I was hoping they can quickly reexpand this coming weekend to capitalize on Spring break and immediate Oscar buzz but looked like they are busying doing Evangelion release this weekend.
