SLAM!

I've only seen the mediocre remake of Footloose.

Logan was #67 on my list. I think it is a very competent film and I'm glad it made the list.

Do The Right Thing was my #2 pick, probbly because of recency bias. I'm glad it's here,and I knew that I was kidding myself if I was hoping for it to be as high as the top ten or something of the sort.

Wow! I've only seen bits and pieces of The Departed but I kno. for sure that it is a good one

Citizen Kane was #1 on my list. I really think its placement is way too low, but in hindsight, the fact that it made this list at all is fairly reassuring.

Nevermind... sorry... this isn't for me...

Hopefully they prove themselves to be the next A24, because if not, Laika's next film is in for a disappointing gross.

I'll be your padawan.

I think I agree with him. I mean, we can tell when an actor is doing a bad job, but if a performance is Oscar-quality, it becomes harder to compare it with others.

If Annapurna keeps making smart moves while acting on the experience they've gained as a distributor, they'll become one of the most exciting companies in the business. It's great that they're picking up so many intriguing films. Maybe this time, one of them will be an Oscar contender.

I really do think it'll be somewhere between 600 and 1,000. Bollywood films are doing better domestically, Bollywood soap operas are commonly referenced by internet culture, the film is looking to be a big hit in its home country... it could surprise for sure.

I definitely still need to see Lawrence of Arabia!

Avatar making the list at all is exciting! It's place on the list feels perfect to me. It's not the best but it is certainly a well-executed film that deserved every penny it received.

My friend in the college dorms uses to watch movies in the TV lounge while he was studying and I saw that he was watching this one. He said it was a very good film, and from the footage I saw, I'm inclined to agree.

What a week. What a week, for both wide releases and for platform releases. I have quite a few things to say for quite a few films. I was telling myself that if Avengers: Infinity War would have a good 3rd weekend if it managed to have a percentage decrease lower than 50%. And lo and behold, it had a percentage decrease lowet than 50%. That's what happens when you make a quality product that resonates with society. I can't wait to see how well it holds against its R-rated competitior, Deadpool 2, next weekend. I decided to compare Life of the Party to other Melissa McCarthy comedies, and it turns out that this opening is worse than the openings of both Tammy and The Boss. While the film might be doing okay, that is enough to spark concern. It's clear that McCarthy needs to star in better quality films, and fortunately, she is signed up to star in such better films as soon as later this year, such as The Happytime Murders and Can You Ever Forgive Me?. Meanwhile, Breaking In is lucky to have done as much as it did with its quality. But the budget was low enough to ensure that it was a success nonetheless. If it performs similarly to Tyler Perry's Acrimony, it will likely manage a strong total for what it is. I did not expect Overboard to gross above $10 million on its second week. Such success is further proof that Eugenio Derbez has gained a passionate fanbase over the years. A Quiet Place has a strong hold this weekend, likely because the film is a very applicable one to Mother's Day in its own right. That, plus it is the only prevalent horror film on the market thus far, as Truth or Dare seems to have fallen out of the public eye much more quickly. I Feel Pretty had a very good hold for Mother's Day, but I think the film will take a dive rather soon. Rampage had a beautiful hold, and I'm now much more optimistic that it can reach $100M domestically. Tully really did have a good Mother's Day hold; hopefully there's still room for some healthy word of mouth to keep its legs going strong. Black Panther will likely begin a nosedive once Deadpool 2 and Solo come out. This is neither good nor bad, as the film is certainly already a profit. The clutch move RBG made to contend for the #10 spot is phenomenal for a film in only 180 theaters. As much as I would like to see Blockers get a 6th weekend in the top ten, I really would love to see this well-received documentary maintain its spot. Isle of Dogs had an increase just by expanding to 344 more theaters! I'm so happy about that! Thanks to its sudden expansion, my hope for A Wrinkle in Time to reach $100M has now been rejuvenated. Less than $3M to go! Can it leg its way there? I don't know what to say about the foreign film Nothing to Lose, which had an impressive debut in 69 theaters. It is a Porteguese-language, self-financed biopic of Brazilian Edir Macedo, a founder of The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. I did some research, and the church itself is a part of the "neopentecostal" denomination. The good is that Bad Samaritan has become Electric Entertainment's highest grosser. The bad news is that the film is still an egregious flop. I really do feel like Bleecker Street will try to put Disobedience into more theaters as soon as next weekend. On the movie reaction app Stardust, Disobedience is even listed as a May 18th release. Plus, the film is still fairly healthy. Again, if they did it with Captain Fantastic, I am fairly confident they will do it with this. The Miracle Season seems to be on pace to hit the $10M milestone, which seems like it would a good catch for newcomer distributor LD Entertainment. I have my eye on French film Let The Sunshine In. I feel like it is doing good for what it is, and it will likely do better in its home country. The Seagull, Beast, and Revenge all seem to have done fine business. All three platform films have experienced distributors that are doing what's best for their films, and I can't wait to see where those films go from here -- though Revenge, in particular, may struggle theatrically, as it is also an on-demand release. Last but not least, GKids' newest anime film, Lu Over the Wall, had a profoundly disappointing debut. $66,607 from 97 theaters? That's just bad. Recent domestic-release anime successes such as Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F and Your Name. prove that films in the genre can have mild successes if they are marketed correctly. Heck, they practically just did have a relative success with Mary and the Witch's Flower less than four months ago. The credibility and goodwill is there, but it's disappointing how selective the company is in regards to putting forth marketing effort.

I'd say that's some pretty good choices from 2017 for the most part. Lady Bird was my favorite film of 2017, though I left it off of my list for a reason that I can likely chalk up to idiocy. Because if I like a film, then... why isn't it there, you know?

The last four films (Holy Grail, Singin' in the Rain, Gravity, Good Will Hunting) were all on my list! I'm pretty happy about that!

...Whoops.

Better than mine so far...

Exact same here!

I still need to see There Will Be Blood. In fact, all of the films that make the list that I've haven't seen yet are films I need to see.

Stardust is a mobile app that lets you post 30-second reaction videos of movies and television shows - in other words, it's Vine or Instagram for film enthusiasts. It has been endorsed by well-known reviewers such as Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckmann, and its userbase is growing fairly quickly. This thread can be for discussions about the app, for meet-and-greets between members of the forums who use Stardust, and for speculation on how the app might be affecting the box office. Stardust is a great app, and I highly recommend that you give it a try if you're interested.

I find it interesting that 12 Years a Slave was #11 on my list and it still didn't receive enough votes to make it onto the list. But that's an understandable snub, and it's good that it made it to the top 250, even if it barely made it. It's exciting to me that Life of Pi and Boyhood made the list. They were considerations for my list, but I decided to give other films a shot instead. I think, for next time, I should definitely consider adding them onto my own list. They are both very good, very important films.

I might be wrong on this but we'll see. I really genuinely believe it'll be a film no one sees coming.

Paramount is in for a rude awakening.
