BTW, it says that it Moonlight is "coming soon", so with luck, I'll see it.

Yeah, I know this is supposed to be tongue in cheek, but there's no way you can do a movie called The Lego Batman Movie 2 and not feel a bit dead inside.

BTW, now that I've watched the trailer, I expect this to make $120m opening weekend and $350m domestic.

I just realized that Jenny Slate voices Harley Quinn in this. So she's going to be a small player in 3 different animated blockbusters from 3 different studios. Shit, maybe she's going to be every animated feature.

Story of his life.

I don't know why you're assuming the reviews will be good...

I dunno. Maybe there's bias against play adaptions. Doubt and Rabbit Hole didn't get Best Picture nominations.

Nope. Really not feeling it. Would be lucky to get to $50m.

Fences is neck and neck for Best Picture? I thought people wrote it off as an acting showcase.

Wow, you're pretentious.

Ho. Lee. Shit.

I can't wait until they get IMAX with Laser in more places. It's not in that many multiplexes at the moment.

Election Day is always a big day at the box office.

I've never seen B take up over 50% of the vote.

Only quoting a few parts. Everyone knew animated features were big. Just look back on Dreamwork's successes back then. In fact, 2010 was huge for animation from multiple studios. The problem is that franchises are decades in the making. Marvel, DC and Lucasfilm are productive wells now, but they can run dry.

Sure, but I think there's a cycle that's ending in 2020, and I think movie studios are apprehensive about it.

I really hope this shows at the indie theater near my University. Otherwise I'll have to take a pricey bus trip into the big city.

Take a look at the movies announced beyond 2018: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/schedule/?view=bydate&release=theatrical&yr=2018&p=.htm As you can see, the only thing scheduled for 2021 is Fast & Furious 10, and who knows if people are even going to watch that. In fact, it seems that no studios has long term plans beyond 2020. WB mostly has vague "Event Films" scheduled then. Somehow I doubt that the Fantastic Beasts series is going to last for more than 3 entries. Their DCEU movies will hinge on the success of Justice League in 2017, so they better hope that Zack Synder doesn't alienate the audience again. Maybe Battfleck can be interesting, though. King Disney might have some issues as well. Their new Star Wars trilogy will end in 2019, leaving them with spinoffs for a few more years. Would they be so bold as to announce Star Wars X, XI and XII? Also, the current crop of Avengers will end their Infinity War in 2019 in some untitled sequel. What will they do after that? Will recasting be in order? I predict that 2020 will see a sharp revenue drop from 2019, and 2021 will drop from 2020. Who knows what comes after that. I think right now is the golden age of blockbusters. Then again, maybe James Cameron's 4 Avatar movies will swoop in and save the day. You never know.

Oh, we're doing a KFP retrospective? KFP1: ⋆ ⋆ ⋆/4 KFP2: ⋆ ⋆ ⋆.5/4 KFP3: ⋆ ⋆.5/4

Nah. If they did that, it would look bad on them.

@No Prisoners I'm seriously surprised that I'm doing better than the median entrant in the derby. I guess I haven't forgotten everything!

They turned out 3 movies a year because they basically had two animation studios at the same time. The PDI unit closed after the Penguins movie bombed. As a side note, the Penguins of Madagascar movie and Minions both had short turnarounds because they were spinoffs, and could be written without thinking of the main series.

According to Box Office Mojo: Friday11 NEW IN THEATERS DISTRIBUTOR RELEASE Almost Christmas Comedy Universal 2,200+ Arrival Sci-Fi Paramount 2,200 Shut In Thriller EuropaCorp 1,850 Doesn't look like intense competition to me. Doctor Strange is probably going to win this weekend.

Your Name is probably going to get the same amount of reviews.
