Apparently this is a thing?
Oh, that's an adaption of a theatrical musical that was written by the same guy who wrote Jesus Christ Superstar. We'll see how that fares, I suppose.

This still seems interesting! I think they aren't making as many romantic comedies anymore so I'm definitely rooting for this to be at least as popular as Begin Again. Begin Again is definitely the comparison here.

I'm in. This'll be something fun for the summer.

Toni Collete all the way. We need more wins in horror movies.
I'm not planning on seeing Hereditary but I'm rooting for her nonetheless. I like rooting for different films to get recognized and it seems like Toni Colette is a big part of why Hereditary works.

Still no trailer for this and it opens in 2 months?
They need to have a trailer for this as soon as possible...

I want this to be the film that relegitimizes romantic comedies. It'd be a shame if an entire genre fell by the wayside, especially one with so many memorable, diverse, cherished films (Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, 500 Days of Summer, Say Anything, Silver Linings Playbook).

Lots of interesting occurrences at the box office this weekend!
A Quiet Place was able to overtake Rampage! That's great for A Quiet Place; though I think Rampage held pretty well in its own right, all things considered. Hopefully Rampage can still cross $100M; Avengers will be deciding its fate.
I Feel Pretty certainly could've done better. But it should make up the rest of its production budget at the very least. (That is a very high production budget for a film of this sort; much too high to be honest.)
Super Troopers 2 is a surprise! Fans really did do what they said they qere going to do when they crowdfunded it! Big win for Fox Searchlight!
Truth or Dare had a harsh drop, but it doesn't matter at this point to be honest. I'm predicting Ready Player One will keep holding well and eventually overtake Truth or Dare on the chart.
In a weekend seeing two competing comedies enter the ring, Blockers held much better than I thought it would. That's what happens when you make your film a good one. Kay Cannon has a career ahead of her.
Black Panther's hold is just...
I didn't think Traffik would even make the top ten, so good for Lionsgate, that they at least made a footprint.
I was worried that the sneak-attacking Indian film would overtake Isle of Dogs, but I'm really happy that Isle of Dogs stayed in there for one more weekend.
In fact, I think that Indian film, Bharat Ane Nenu, will do well enough next week amongst its community to have a top-ten entrance under the cover of Avenger's slaughter. We'll see.
I can't ask for I Can Only Imagine to do anymore than it already has. It has surpassed expectations by making 11x its budget, and it deserves every penny.
I think theaters will keep Chappaquiddick around for one more week because it is a popular weekday chpice among older folks. It probably didn't need much of a budget so I'm sure this is a modest success.
Hopefully The Miracle Season can make $10M.
Bleecker Street needs to get it together. First Unsane, and now Beirut. What is happening?! They need to reevaluate their strategy, because good films are suffering needlessly.
And Amazon Studios apparently hasn't come out with numbers yet for You Were Never Really There... I'm curious about its gross.

Isle of Dogs
April 21st, 8:40 PM, 10% full - interestingly, mostly college-aged students
AMC Wilmington 16
Previews (We came late and may have missed a few of these.)
Dr. Seuss' The Grinch (a young man leanes towards his group a said, "What do think, guys? Thumbs up? Yeah?", and his group agreed)
Sorry to Bother You (laughs)
Eighth Grade (laughs)
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (murmurs)
Can't You Ever Forgive Me?
The audience enjoyed this one quite a bit. When the audience was leaving, one girl said, "I was lost" -- though this was spoken enthusiastically.

Super Troopers fanbase: "Please make a sequel! We'll support it! Seriously!"
Fox Searchlight: "Well, we'll give it a decent wide release and see how it goes."
cynics: "Woah, there. You can't honestly expect the fanbase to support it, right? This is gonna end up like Zoolander 2!"
*fanbase supports it, with numbers to prove it*
cynics: "Huh."

Comes out on May 25 in limited
Simply putting it out there is probably the best move they could've done at this point. Releasing it is better than not releasing it in my opinion.

I mean Guillermo finally won his oscars by making the world's safest movie...
Now this is just my opinion, but I don't think, no matter how traditional the storytelling is, that a film about a janitor falling in love with a fish man is truly the safest movie in the world... something like Victoria & Abdul or The Post would probably be much safer.

I'm skeptical of a Yorgos movie really being mainstream enough for the academy's taste
Maybe it's a Wes Anderson situation or a Guillermo del Toro situation where the style or niche eventually grows onto people? I'm sure Fox Searchlight knows what they're doing...

I saw the Nancy Drew film starring Emma Roberts from 2007 in theaters and I remember watching it just fine, but losing an important sense of engagement from it. But if they're willing to do it right with a talentef, well-rounded actress like Sophia Lillis, then I'm willing to give this another go.

There would've been a new Science-Fiction film coming out each week during the entirety of August if this had stayed. This is probably for the best; Focus Features probably knows what they're doing with this. So I don't mind waiting a while longer for this if they're going through the effort to make it as good as possible. And on the bright side, there looks to be other features coming out in August that I'll be able to see instead.

That's a lot of people joining the cast... how in the world are they going to fit so many characters into this?
A Star is Born | 5th October, 2018 | Warner Bros | Bradley Cooper directing, Lady Gaga cast as lead.

The academy undoubtedly appreciates Gaga for the many great performances she's done on the Oscar stage, so if reviews are in line with this buzz then I think the goodwill might make her a lock for at least a nomination.
