Just saw it for the second time and now I'm ready to count it among my all-time favorites. Hell, I could watch it again right now and not be bored for a second, it's just wonderful filmmaking through and through.
-
Haven't seen that one. -
The second one is weaker but watchable.
-
I dunno... basically all of those films performed more or less like I would've expected them to. Maybe Room could have done better prior to the Oscars (like with Whiplash the year before, I think it was a missed opportunity to not release it a few hundred theaters right away) if it hadn't got lost behind more hyped platform releases. Besides they've still only been around for three years.

I guess now it has a shot at climbing over Ex Machina's $25.4m to become A24's highest grossing movie.

Tuesday: BvS 12.2m (DHD) 19% drop from Monday

It's like he gets off on being withholding. -
Love that Fiennes is pretty much doing his M. Gustave voice again here
-
I also hope Valerian crushes the record.
-
Fuck all that BVS noise. Check out Spectre deciding that it's not done yet and going after Superman Returns' total now. That's the story of the weekend

Yeah, TFA managed to behave like a summer blockbuster in December because it was practically a once-in-a-lifetime event that people NEEDED to see as soon as possible. I don't get that vibe from Rogue One; it's a "Star Wars story", which still sounds incredibly appealing but also like something that the general public can afford to be a bit more patient with and not rush out to see on day one. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if it opened below 150 but still handily topped 500m/got close to 600m thanks to holiday legs.
-
If Rogue One opens to 200 that would put it on track to finish with 700+, and I don't really see that happening. More likely it opens closer to 150 and finishes with 550-600 or so, provided Edwards actually makes a universal crowd-pleasing hit this time (it was clear Abrams would deliver that, Edwards is a bit more of a wildcard).
-
Nobody feed him guys
-
Less than 25m most likely.
-
This has no summer weekdays.
-
If true Friday is 53.6m and it drops like Furious 7 from that, it gets 136.5m weekend plus 27.7m previews, so 164m and change. Hard to see it going higher.
-
Michael Shannon is the best.

Whoever wins, we lose. Or we already lost.

I almost took for granted that, no matter what, Linklater would follow up the double whammy of Before Midnight and Boyhood with a "minor" movie, because what would be the odds of him being so consistent? And now all the reviews are like, oh yeah, he just went and completely delivered again. The man is on fire.
-
So Collide disappeared from the schedule and now the only thing opening wide next weekend is God's Not Dead 2. (Though I guess WB will expand Midnight Special. It'd be stupid of them not to). Will be funny if BVS drops harder against that than MOS dropped against the $150m combo of Monsters U and World War Z.

Wonder how many pages of this it's gonna take for Tele's real-life self to look like his avatar. Unless he already does
-
The audience isn't made up entirely of fans. There should be plenty of non-fans who have been on the fence all this time, who would readily go see it if it got praised but don't have much interest now. (I'm one of them). That's money lost, even though the movie will still be a huge hit.
-
Taking Kurt Russell's mustache as an indicator of quality though, this is not gonna be nearly as good as The Hateful Eight and Bone Tomahawk
-
The legs should be strong no matter what the opening is if it's as good as it looks.
