The Silence fate is probably what PTA should be worried about if his movie is rushed into this year, not Spielberg.
-
Pitch Perfect? Also John Wick pulled it off on a small scale. -
343 would mean a 4x multi. 3x multi would mean 326m.
-
Was a bit of a false alarm in the end. Still not great numbers but at least leaves room for some expansion 33 N Lucky Magn. $46,000 - 5 - $9,200 $46,000 - 1
-
Agree with the second part but Magnolia has had a bunch of limited successes too.
-
With Stanton's passing and strong reviews I really thought this would pull a five-figure PTA. The man's gonna stay way underappreciated after death too smh.

43 N Lucky Magn. $9,200 - 5 - $1,840 $9,200 - 1

It's the length that really got you hard isn't it.
-
Her performance in Super is one of the best of the decade.
-
They don't really matter either. (In a good way)
-
Page's career deserves to be in a much better place.
-
Would be perfect for Cronenberg tbh but alas that's not the world we live in.
-
I do hope Florida Project gains enough traction for a Picture nod. It does look all set to become one of the big critical favorites of the year, at least.
-
John Wick 3 > all of those combined.
-
But so does IMDb. I mean the year next to the title.

Vadim Rizov who's the biggest Linklater fan you'll find among serious non-fanboyish critics wasn't too hot on this either, though according to him the movie is pretty solid for its first hour with problems arriving near the end. Think I'll adjust my expectations accordingly. http://filmmakermagazine.com/103523-nyff-2017-last-flag-flying/

Bought the book this is based on today.
-
Well that doesn't sound great but I hope it's more quietly rewarding than the less positive reviews suggest.
-
Sure but the movie's finished and was shown to an audience. In the end, the problem is that the year of commercial release is obviously the one to go with when ranking recent/new movies, but it becomes less and less relevant the further you go back in time, especially with non-US releases. Tele proposed 2000 as a cutoff point for this in a previous thread, and it seems as good as any. Maybe we can pick another one.
-
because unlike you he's seen the movie?
-
I just think checking both festival and theatrical releases is too much of a needless headache for 1997 just as it would have been for 1987. A movie is from the year when it first premiered anywhere.
-
Okay I think I might be getting sold now. Those ads up above legitimately make this look like the funniest movie of the year.
-
Hard Eight: USA 20 January 1996 (Sundance Film Festival) Cube: Canada 9 September 1997 (Toronto International Film Festival) I don't understand the problem.
-
That doesn't just magically give you a free pass to take a story that's ultimately pulpy nonsense and film it is a 150-minute long, relentlessly one-note journey into the darkness of human nature overloaded with on-the-nose religious symbolism.

Prisoners has a pretty garbage script that Villeneuve alternately elevates and dooms even further by treating it as The Most Serious Thing Ever. It's just portentuous and stupid, though great-looking and solidly acted.
