    It'd be funny if, after Skyfall came out ahead of BD2 in 2012, Bond 24 would do the same with MJ2 in 2015.

    DH1 had a 2.36 multiplier. With a lower-than-expected OW and strong WOM (it's gotta be strong, right?), I think CF could match that. I'd be surprised if it did better than 2.4, though.

    Between the two I'd say third weekend of July. Better weekdays + not much strong competition in August.

    Well, these definitely aren't the numbers I expected to wake up to.

    Jackie Brown says hello.

    Personally I find it incredibly atmospheric. It fits the movie perfectly and works on its own, too. But I guess you either get absorbed into the mood or you don't.

    Anton Ego in Ratatouille

    I think I loved this.

    A two-hour gaze into the abyss. For me the one scene that really knocked me out was the talk show scene - taken out of context, it can so easily be taken as a hilarious sequence from some satirical comedy that's out to mock mass murderers. Except there's nothing satirical about it, these are real, ordinary-looking people who actually mean what they say, and once you fully realize that (which is, frankly, not that easy), it's scarier than any horror film.

    Finally saw The Act of Killing earlier today. Not only the best, but also the most important and powerful film of the year, if not the past few years. Nope, not overselling it.

    Redford I could see, Dern almost certainly not. Also, this may just be heat of the moment, but I think Phoenix could be something of a threat if the Academy gets really taken with HER and his performance in it is truly on the level of his best work. In general the combination of late release and huge early acclaim does give the movie that air of an underdog that enters the race late but ultimately shakes things up.

    Ejiofor is 36 now... plenty of actors won in this category when they were in their late 30s or younger. Brody, Crowe, Cage, Hanks, DDL (when he won his first), William Hurt, De Niro, Nicholson (for Cuckoo's Nest), Richard Dreyfuss were all aged 29-39 at the time of winning. Age is not an obstacle.

    Someone tell Ray about that little movie coming out next weekend. (and the fact that Skyfall had that drop against a similar little movie)

    OK, I didn't watch the video so she might look better in motion, but like this she looks seriously horrifying.

    You know that major Oscar nominees get theater expansions post-nominations all the time, right? 12YAS is going to be steadily earning money up until early March. I don't see any way for it to miss $50m, and over $60m is a real possibility.
  18. Jake Gittes
    I don't see how 12YAS is a letdown in any way. It's at $25m after a month in theaters and will be close to, if not over $40m by the time the Oscar noms are announced. Likely another $15m after that, perhaps more than $25m if it wins BP. That'd be outstanding for a brutal, harrowing drama about slavery. I mean, this isn't exactly Slumdog Millionaire.
  19. Jake Gittes
    I'd say 255-260 before the nominations are auunounced, after that who knows.

    BOM up. http://boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/?view=&yr=2013&wknd=46&p=.htm

    Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice6m ENDER'S GAME hauled in $6.2M (-40%), $53.7M total. Too bad it's gonna get destroyed next weekend.
  22. Jake Gittes
    Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice1m In its 3rd wknd of ltd release, DALLAS BUYERS CLUB earned $1.7M at 184 venues--$9,701 per--$3M total. Focus should probably give it a wide expansion next weekend. Doing very well so far.
  23. Jake Gittes
    Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice2m Relativity's FREE BIRDS was clipped just -25%, gobbling up $8.3M, $42.2M total.
  24. Jake Gittes
    Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice19s With $6.2M this wknd & $240M domestic, GRAVITY just rocketed past F&F6 as the #5 film of 2013.
  25. Jake Gittes
    That would be a 125% jump for Free Birds and a 100% jump for Gravity
