    Not sure if Heron studio is trying the same tactic but movies that expect Oscar nominations tend to drop theaters for MLK weekend or 2 weeks before noms and then go wide after the noms. Usually not super wide (over 1.5K but under 2K) but wide enough. 

     

    This is when you are up for the run in best Picture race. I don't think there is any slot left for Heron.

    $3K PTA from 625 theaters is pretty good considering it's being put in smaller auditoriums at a lot of places and the storms taking some theaters offline this weekend. Should be around for a while IMO, especially if it lands a Best Picture nomination.

    3k from 625 is just normal good not something worth screaming. Fabelmans, Bottoms and Holdovers got better PTA at this point of run. Unless the movie start leg out like PT, AF would still pretty much stuck in a 10-20m range like most of the platform release. AF got 90% posttrak, one point lower than Holdovers. I would expect their run to be similar from here.

  2. I honestly start thinking if Leo will get crowded out especially in a competitive year. He doesn't have as much as passionate support like other contenders. As for winner, I think Murphy has some advantage here since he play a dramatic role as compared to a more comedy tone for Paul.

    -48% from last Friday after losing 1/3 of its theaters. with the holiday should be closer to -40% drop for the weekend?

    If IC followed Priscilla, this should end in the range of 32-34m. The consolation prize for getting ignored by award season. On the other hand, ZOI holds very good in its limited run. A24 should have no problem getting two best picture nominees slot for the first time.

  4. Boy and the Heron getting in PGA animation is a big news. This is the first time foreign language animation got in PGA. The first for Miyazaki and Ghibli (They snubbed SA back then), and the second GKIDS nomination in PGA! 

     

    If even PGA can be this open to a non-english foreign animation from GKIDS, they snubbed 11 out of 12 GKIDS eventual Oscar nominees after all, I would expect Oscar to be even receptive. Heron really stand a chance to beat ATSV now.

    Looks like it'll have one of the (maybe even the) lowest day-to-day drop of everything despite Mean Girls previews being direct competition. Seems promising for the weekend.

     

    Pretty nasty weather out here in the Chicagoland area, hope that plus the frigid weather doesn't hurt overall grosses too much. 

     

    Iron Claw is holding up as good as ABY this week, managed to keep mid-week decrease at sub-50%. I guess Allen White underwear campaign helps.

    Joe Hisaishi's momentum has been growing in the past few weeks. And compared to Miyazaki, Hisaishi is more open for campaign and he did attend some interviews here and there. His first nomination isn't a sure thing and far from safe at the moment but I believe his concert at Seattle during voting period could boost some visibility. If animation branch members are allowed to nominate a composer, Hisaishi is safe but unfortunately this isn't how Oscar works.

  7. Denying the use of platform release is showing that just how patience is depleting from our world quicker than iceberg. 
     

    I bet if every studio start throwing movie randomly 3000 theaters and then quickly drop them afterward, people will again start complaining they couldn’t come to aware of a movie fast enough before it loses its screentime.

  8. So surprised that Nimoma got this many nomination. Netflix is really turning itself into an animation powerhouse streamer. I believe this is the first time both Pixar and Disney are shut out from the best feature category. Suzume also overperforms. Now the fifth slot at the Oscar is really up for grab in between Nimona.

     

    Elemental really take a hit here. Even finding dory, cars 3 or monster university and good dinosaur make it to best feature list.

  9. If there is one small movie that can challenge Oppenheimer, that is not holdover or poor things. It is American fiction. Holdover and Poor things is mostly socially irrelevant and unimportant to be a best picture winner. The past 10-20 years if there is a trend, the movie that touches real world issues tend to win like class conflict (Parasite), racial relation(Green Book), nomadland (capitalism), spotlight(press integrity), 12 a slave and moolight(black’s plight). 
     

    American fiction seem to have checked off this box and audience is responding very well with 97%. Could be A+ cinemascore if they poll it.

    It's chugging along fine but its PTA for so few theaters isn't impressive. It was only when it played in 8 theaters but dropped big with the first expansion and kept dropping. 

    But its PTA at this stage is quite comparable to the favourite, a pre-pandemic award season player. Although I doubt poor things is more audience friendly than that movie. At this stage I would say Poor things is the first movie that have a pre-pandemic like platform release run since Licorice pizza. I was hoping the holdover to replicate a similar run like GB, only smaller but obviously the streaming ruin the party.

    I guess Margot Robbie is the new Oscar darling along with Bradley Cooper. I can't believe she's gonna get nominated for an Oscar for Barbie!

    It is quite common to see someone got in both GG and SAG but missed out Oscar. I still wouldn’t put Morgot Robbie unless she got in BAFTA in my prediction because she is way too pretty in that movie to be a nominee. Sandra may take her spot at the Oscar. Plus, she is also a producer of the movie.
