Because they've never seen a non-safe film before.

because it's that time of year.

85.1m if Joker follows Halloween 90m if it follows Venom and Deadpool 2 but has a 40% Sunday drop 92.5m if it follows It 1 94m if it follows It 2 96.6m if it follows Logan with a 40% Sunday drop

Was #7 on my list

'Sall good man don't sweat it.

I just finally saw Dog Day Afternoon for the first time. Might partly be the immediate post-viewing high talking but this is probably one of the 20 or 30 best films I've ever seen. Just stunning.

Can it be kicked out if it was never in

it's not a fight.

I disliked this overall but the opening dance is the scene of the year.

Shyamalan is up there. Six 100m grossers, five not counting Glass, four not counting the 150m-budgeted Last Airbender. Not Eastwood level but still impressive.

a movie that's six weeks away from release.

Guilty of stupid look-at-me gimmickry until proven innocent.

1. The Irishman 2. Uncut Gems 3. Knives Out 4. The Lighthouse 5. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 6. Marriage Story 7. Ford v Ferrari 8. First Cow 9. Tenet 10. Soul

This should be good for at least a low-teens opening and from there the holidays will help it leg it out to 50-70 total.

Hmmm probably still Assault on Precinct 13 although ITMOM has now been seen and it's pretty excellent. Need to rewatch Big Trouble in Little China now, it's been almost a decade.

me watching that trailer

Crazy excited for this.
