For platform releases, American fiction doing less than what I hoped. 1.9m or 3000 PTA is weaker than holdovers first wide expansion weekend. On the other hand, Poor things PTA is really encouraging. Now we know the movie is special enough to secure an impression among audience.
-
If wouldn’t for SK still on its way, I will start my doubt if this can pass 600m. Anyway, the holds post-holiday hasn’t been good. Probably the holiday feel good tone means there is no more hook for people to seek out the movie after the holiday.
-
Unexpectedly the movie continue to match avatar’s hold in post holiday, and way better than NWH at the same point of run. If the hold continue to match avatar 2, with some extra help from Japan, 440m is within reach the final total range.

Suzume is pretty much within my expectation but Heron completely overperforms. The annual Ghibli film festival organized by GKIDS clearly is a successful gospel that contribute to this overperformance, especially Heron also perform way better than other Western countries.

-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.

Poor Things is awesome. Hope it keeps rolling. Looks like an easy #1 here on opening Friday.
Surprisingly Searchlight didn't expand the location further this week after the GG win. In fact they drop another 170 locations when the hold is so good.

officially pass 40m. It is now holding like an art house movie than a anime or animation.

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.
-
Pretty much the expected line-up for Oscar. I didn't expect them to take Zone of interest and Anatomy of Fall though because PGA tends not to recognize foreign film.

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.

Both suzume and heron made Annie nomination record at 7, beating Belle which got five nominations. They are the most nominated anime now at Annie.

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.

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.

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.
-
They take a big turn against A24 this year. Zero performance from A24 movies are nominated slot this year.
surprised to see de niro get in but not Leo. SAG really like American fiction. AG get a big boost today.

I think this is the first time a Japanese anime or a GKIDS award contender got this extensive of support from multiple craft communities. Annie awards nomination is tomorrow, I got a feeling heron will perform way beyond its typical categories like writing and directing.

I meant the break even point. The marketing budget was reported as "possibly" being $100M, meaning it wasn't an official number but rather an estimate. So it's closer to breaking even at $500M rather than $600M
I don’t think that 100m is an understated number. In many part of Asia, aquaman did receive some big marketing push, more than barbieheimer.

Oppenheimer win eight CC but unlike the past three winners which took both directing and screenplay categories, Oppenheimer came with only director win.
