No movie that opened with that kind of PTA has finished below 13m and subtitles aside Parasite is a lot more accessible in terms of pacing/tone/entertainment value than films like The Master and Inside Llewyn Davis, not to mention Oscar nods in the main categories will give it a second life. High teens at least, let's go

Also saw this linked on Twitter and it cracks me up. Ah the '90s. Lemke hits H’w’d with 2-pic pitch Darren Lemke, who until February was wrangling shopping carts at a ShopRite in Carlstad, N.J., is now a half-million dollars richer, having sold two pitches to Touchstone for Tony Scott to direct. The price for both is an estimated $500,000. JD Prods.’ Don Murphy and Jane Hamsher are producing. The first pitch is “Undertow,” the search for the black box after Air Force One is blown out of the sky, and the second is an untitled sci-fi thriller about a successful corporate assassin who is hunted by a younger clone of himself, created by a genetic engineering company. The 27-year-old scribe has been writing screenplays since he was 15, but his scripts hadn’t gained attention until he gave a script called “Cherry Poppers” to Salvatore Capone, a friend who worked for director Joe Dante’s company Renfield Prods. “It’s beyond words and it hasn’t hit me yet,” Lemke said. “I always thought I had two talents: pushing up shopping carts and writing. I had no middle ground. Going out to Los Angeles is like visiting Oz. People want to look at my scripts and talk to me. I mean I even met Tony Scott. I’m somewhere over the rainbow.” https://variety.com/1997/film/news/lemke-hits-h-w-d-with-2-pic-pitch-1116679545/

Nice that we got the correct Coppola ranking in here. -

Now I wish Judy Davis had been a part of the Mad Max universe that would have rocked. -
I'll give Green Book this: it's extremely good at ingratiating itself with the mass audience. A cultural critic could probably comfortably write a, ahem, book about all the choices it makes as part of that and what they effectively mean.

No clearer proof than The Lion King in its 13th weekend playing in more theaters than Ad Astra in its 4th.
