Zootopia is not an allegory, it's a fable.

What are you talking about?

Wanting to open a single jazz venue ≠ "saving" anything and John Legend rightly calls him out on his arrogance and self-importance that he starts the movie with.

Maybe people should pay attention to movies they watch instead.

"Everything else" just means the critics' awards and the Globe so it's possible Affleck has been this year Fincher/Linklater of the best actor race all along. It's definitely a race now.

Yeah I was thinking the other day if Portman wins it very well could mean that she and Stone were insanely close and might split the vote at the Oscars opening the way for Huppert to take it. (It's unlikely as hell but it's the only possible way she could win considering what movie she's in). But if Stone wins this it's all hers.

Stunt people get no respect, man. Why is it not Movie 43?

Bye Bye Man got nothing on The Devil Inside. That was legendary.

PTA is bound to drop with the combined effect of Superbowl and sudden huge expansion. I'd be cautious expecting anything over a 5m weekend. Not that there would be anything to worry about because it'll still be heading for a 40m finish.

Do we know how wide Lion is expanding next weekend? 1,500+? 2,000+? I think Split is gonna drop close to 40% and HF and LLL both over 30% (similar to Juno and Slumdog back in the day). Superbowl is a tough weekend.

That's easy. Tell me it's the best Batman movie since Batman Returns or even Batman '66, and that's when I'll pay attention

As long as HF doesn't drop below 9m next weekend I think 150 is happening.

Fury Road develops its characters through every single thing they do and say, down to even the smallest gestures. Rogue One just has a bunch of people show up and decides that's enough.

Silence's PTA jumped by 167% compared to last Friday. Makes me think it could have actually crawled to 10m+ if it had a slow and steady theater count increase, and Paramount did their homework and focused on the markets where it had the biggest chance of finding an appreciative audience. Instead they just blew their load completely with the ridiculous 1,500 theaters increase last weekend.

'Tis. It's gonna be over 105 after this weekend, over 115 after next weekend. Then there will be Valentine's Day, President's Day and the week after that it's gonna own the Oscar night. That'll give it more than enough fuel.

All it needs to do is beat Slumdog's 141m. That will happen easily.

Goddamn I need RE6 to make 15.509 for the SOTM. That 5.5m Friday better end up at least a million higher

Earlier this week I read the novel AND watched the earlier 1971 adaptation, and then had very little sleep the night before my showing, and it still held my attention every second. It's slow but no scene is longer or shorter than necessary. Scorsese and Schoonmaker

And now I remember that thanks to Rogue One we got yet another movie - in 2016! - in which a character completely earnestly utters the phrase "Your father would be proud of you". Oof.
