  1. Transformers 3 and 4, the Hobbits, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Les Miserables, BVS, The Last Jedi, Blade Runner 2049, It Chapter Two, Ford v Ferrari, both other Tarantino films you didn't mention, and that's just those that made any money and not counting a whole other bunch of movies that just got in at, like, 148 minutes.
  2. The film section stayed good until March 2022, when AA Dowd left.
  3. There wasn't a movie with 100mln opening released in July that had a sub-50% second weekend hold and reached 400m in 14 days, and then Barbie did both quite easily.
  4. Keanu's limitedness is used perfectly in Much Ado. His assignment is to state "I am the villain", glare at everyone and then leave, and you can't accuse him of not doing exactly that.
  5. A Palme winner isn't small exactly but I could see Anatomy of a Fall sneaking up on it, paving the path by winning original screenplay and actress. It's not just a critical darling but supposedly entertaining/crowdpleasing too, and Neon knows how to push a movie. Or maybe this is gonna be the year where the curveball is the absence of one, and Oppy is finally that one megahit that unites enough people behind it.

  7. Wildly irresponsible on Nolan's part if the phrase "different stages of life" isn't repeated every time they're together.
  8. Back when we were doing the Zoom group watches, @MrPink treated us to Swordfish and some of us have never been the same.
  9. Animated films do better on summer weekdays than PG-13 live action blockbusters. Then they typically have smaller increases on Friday and Saturday.
  10. You'd think Fury Road would have taught Hoult to stop worrying about hero roles and go on playing supporting weirdos.
