The Revenant was a revenge western with an easy hook and visuals that begged to be seen on the big screen, released in the peak of the Oscar season and benefitting massively from being the most nominated movie of the year and the one for which Leo was finally gonna win. OUATIH is a 160-minute movie about TV actors hanging out in LA 50 years ago. A combination of names doesn't just magically guarantee you a big box office gross.

The PTA is def strong enough for it to expand into a few hundred more theaters. But yeah low 20s total looks like the most it can get.

Take that, Nolan!

The Russos are more managers than directors. They've never shown they have their own voice.

week 15 no

what if it fails so hard it comes in second in BOT's best of 2020 list

Hopefully our man Lin will work his magic on Charlize

me looking at these lists

My man Baumbach finally getting big time oscar recognition would be a nice thing to see even if as with Linklater/Wes Anderson it would be comically belated on the academy's part.

It's not getting another 20m necessary for 4x.

it's almost as if it's the futurist who's actually engaging in reverse snobbery and enforcing the false and needless divide here, patronizingly stereotyping all the non-coastal simple folks as having no need or use for ever being exposed to anything more interesting or unusual or artful than the latest marvel product

Lot of love for Diary of a Country Priest and A Man Escaped from me (both made my list), but not for that one, no. Also from the canonical Ozu films I'm more partial to Late Spring and Early Summer than Tokyo Story.

Surprised that Frances Ha didn't make a single list. Me and Blanks were talking on telegram the other day about how we both forgot it. It would've made my top 30.

Great work Tower and thanks for doing this. And yeah, what Talisman said. Watch more movies folks.

Based on Lucy and The Equalizer 2's dailies gonna guess a 18-19m second weekend for Hollywood. So long as the drop is sub-55% I'm not gonna be too worried

Four of the five letters are the same as in Tenet. Coincidence?

Pink's contribution to this fine page will not be forgotten. Down with the mods etc
