A Clockwork Orange is the only Kubrick that got worse for me on repeat viewings so I'm actually glad it missed. Barry Lyndon, on the other hand...

Because Tommy Lee Jones doesn't care

Still like Gladiator a ton. Not enough to place it on my own top 100 list but more than a lot of films that have shown up here. Great rousing entertainment.

Yeah Bound is damn good. Prime example in how to spin a stylish twisty thriller out of just a couple locations and three major characters.

Finding Nemo, Azkaban and Up too.

You know he made movies prior to LOTR right. Heavenly Creatures is one of the all-time greats. Braindead and Forgotten Silver are both wonderful.

Okay, there clearly was a mistake made somewhere

I don't love everything about 2001 (yet, probably; it's another Kubrick that's clearly a grower), but it's damn cool seeing it so high.

Aaaannnnd we're off and running with the "This movie is going to WIN this category" predictions in May

Saw 2.1m for Neighbors in the headline and thought we're entering an era where even holdovers drop on Saturdays. Almost disappointed it's just a typo

If you believe that The Exorcist did $193m during its first run, the sequel with its $30.7m dropped almost 85%. Post-1980 Blair Witch 2 dropped over 80% (26m vs 140m), Gremlins 2 around 72% (41m vs 148m), Analyze That about 70% (32m vs 106m).

No Almost definitely no

Its 45m Friday was the second biggest opening day ever at the time. I actually remember thinking it was gonna take down Spider-Man's OW record, because what's a 2.5 IM over a holiday weekend? Then it went ahead and showed me what "frontloaded" means.

With a 29m Friday it could just do 70m 3-day and 85m 4-day, then finish in the 160s.

It'll be closer to The Last Stand for sure. Hell it could end up just barely above the first movie's 157m.

Not kidding when I say the most interesting thing going on for me BO-wise is The Lobster's expansion. If A24 actually manages to get something that idiosyncratic and singular into even a semi-wide release for a couple of weeks it'll be amazing. So far it's holding OK too.

Zootopia lost 60% of its theaters so unless it gets double features with Alice it's gonna take a dive

Hamm was already in The Town and Sucker Punch a few months before that, in bigger roles. They all had more free time during that period because the fourth season started in summer 2010 and the fifth didn't hit until March 2012.

That's also the word the most people on this forum need to learn the definition of.

Dazed and Confused, Scorsese and Tarantino could make up 50% of my list all by themselves.

Incomplete without "Stuck in the Middle with You" from Reservoir Dogs, "Malaguena Salerosa" from Kill Bill Vol. 2 and "There Won't Be Many Coming Home" from H8ful

Holy shit, Fury Road owning motherfuckers. What a beautiful sight. OK, that and Lawrence of Arabia and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly both placing higher than they ever have bought this list a lot of goodwill from me.
