This includes all its re-releases including the most recent Fathom one from a few months ago. It was overtaken by The Sound of Music in 1966. https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/packages/html/movies/bestpictures/music-ar.html

BOT's top 100 Black And White films.
Jake Gittes replied to Tower's topic in Archived Lists and Countdowns
So the list by "Hydrogen" should be thrown out now. -
I'm in favor of this, provided you could get all those members to re-send. And if you feel strongly about them not gaming their lists, idk maybe you could ask for screenshots of their original PMs from all those who haven't deleted them? Also if this were to happen I'd be happy to help you out with the tabulating.

The Quick and the Dead was a bomb. Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Blood Diamond, Body of Lies all made less than 2x of their budget worldwide, the last two in particular likely ended up in the red.

Not sure if serious.

Midsommar PTA increased from last weekend so it may still have enough juice in the tank to pass The Witch and Ex Machina to become a top 3 A24 release. Though The Farewell might kick it back out soon afterwards.

Oh, I've been saying that ticket prices (at least for non-event movies) need to be lowered for a while.

It's not dead but it's not getting advantages or the necessary exposure. The hits always have room to get bigger. And partly because of that, movies like Booksmart in almost all cases can only get smaller. And smaller and smaller. Unless they either become an unexpected wom sensation or were made by one of the very few directors who are themselves brand names.

No one'll remember it long enough for it to reach even the third of those stages.

*predicts 500m dom for mary poppins returns* the TLK predicts were absurd, no basis in real hype

Audiences don't know what they want. They can only choose what they want out of what they see in front of them, and when those options largely if not entirely consist of corporate brand extensions, that's what the audiences are going to support, because they're actively not being encouraged to seek out anything different. It's a self-perpetuating vicious cycle and an essential cultural problem when you get down to it.

Following Lady Bird (91k PTA first weekend, 32k second weekend) pretty closely. Nice.

Calling for legs weak enough that TDK remains the highest grossing July release domestically @MrPink

Standards were higher back then.
