I believe A.I. got two #1 votes which accounts for almost 2/3 of its points alone.

Was planning at first to give all my movies between 9 and 11 points, but figured that would put my top picks at too big a disadvantage compared to standard lists without really helping my bottom half that much. Bigger difference between 11 and 35-40 points than there is between 3-5 and 9 points. So in the end I just took the default allocation and compressed it slightly.

On the day TGM cracked the all-time top 10, it posted another fantastic Tuesday hold. I honestly can't see how it misses 700m, it's constantly in Avatar territory with dailies and more than a month of summer plus LD still to come.

 

Biggest domestic 8th Tuesday:

 

1	Jan 1, 2013	Lincoln	$2,463,323	1,966	$1,253	$136,652,420
2	Feb 9, 2010	Avatar	$2,025,264	3,000	$675	$633,621,035
3	Jul 19, 2022	Top Gun: Maverick	$2,002,436	3,292	$608	$622,089,456

 

Avatar made 23.6m on the weekend following its 8th Tuesday. TGM is looking to make 9-10m. It'll be sitting at about 635m after Sunday, and 65m is an awful lot of ground to cover once your weekends have dipped into seven figures, summer weekdays or not.

130 final?. Could reach that in the next 2 weekends

 

It'll be at 112 going into the weekend, which should bring ~5.5m give or take a few hundred thousand. If it drops 20% next weekend with no competition, might reach 127 by Aug 1. Still a long way from there to 150.

I haven't been super into boxoffice numbers and patterns for years now(funny on a boxoffice forum I know), but is there a reason why this isn't expected to jump around 100% on Friday like Pirates 3 did after Memorial Day weekend?  Or like Doctor Strange did on its second Friday several weeks ago?  Thanks.

 

Because it made a lot more money over the weekdays than those two.

There is a Russia release date attached to Dominion on IMDB on June 16th. Don't know how real it is though as that's the only source I can find stating a Russian release.

 

It's getting released in CIS countries on that date but not in Russia itself.

Eyes Wide Shut is the only correct answer for the best Tom Cruise movie.

Anthony Hopkins was singled out for praise in every Armageddon Time review I read and given the character type (wise, beloved, morally upstanding Grandpa) it shouldn't take much for him to get another nod.

Any idea of Neon's release plans for Crimes of the Future next weekend? It's already booked at a couple chain theaters near me (with Thursday previews no less) which makes me think it'll be in a somewhat wide release. Which would be an interesting choice.

 

As with Titane, going wide(-ish) right away is best because it's not gonna be an audience-building WOM player. Cronenberg heads / reviews-following movie buffs already know they want to see it, might as well get what money you can from them especially on an otherwise empty weekend.

[Best Picture Predictions: 2022]

Triangle of Sadness won the Palme d'Or and Broker best actor for Song Kang-ho. Both are distributed by Neon in the US so will presumably get an Oscar push, although neither has overwhelming Drive My Car-level acclaim that would make them serious contenders. James Gray has now been in competition 5 times and has won nothing but Armageddon Time's initial reception seems solid enough that maybe he can finally break into the Oscars especially since for once he's got a distributor that won't bury his movie.
