week 3 no

I don't know about this year but I won't be surprised if she wins an Oscar before she's 30. She's just been on that kinda roll.

I imagine it could pull off a Tron Legacy kinda run. It'd leave that December without a truly massive tentpole but a little more room to breathe never hurt anybody. But this is premature talk anyway.

Could put Dune in December and give its pre-Thanksgiving slot to this. Dune feels like a much more appropriate Christmas release except that it's not necessarily likely to be huge. Regardless, this'll make bank no matter where it opens.

No but if that happened it'd restore my faith in humanity a little after the Endgame numbers.

they should play each other ofc.

Ad Astra coming to make September great again

you should probably ask the mods to pin this in the main topic now that the songs countdown is over.

i'm pretty mixed on brothers bloom and looper but brick and last jedi far outweigh those.

I wonder how these types depressed over an Aladdin remake possibly doing 200m instead of 250m or whatever would feel if they were ever invested in the box office fate of movies that weren't brand-extending products of the biggest media company in the world.

Does this mean there's any chance Disney could close and go away? Please? Please? In the climate we're in movies with recognizable human beings in them usually don't make the yearly top 100 anymore.

Mine might be even more so cause I put it in my WW top 12 too in addition to DOM and multipliers. But we'll see maybe the GA will be kind enough to it anyway.

Fair. Also I now recall that at one point its lifetime gross was just over 190m but then they updated it down to 189.7, the only such instance I know of

Nah it just had an Oscar re-issue.

Universal does this routinely with its movies. WB did it with not only Rampage but virtually everything it released last year. (The Meg was somehow updated from 143m to 145.4m even though it made less than 100k in its final tracked weekend. Crazy Rich Asians added almost 500k to its total after they tracked it all the way down to less than 10k in its 21st weekend.)

Can we knock those people on the head hard enough to render them unconscious until about January?

I definitely assumed this was a Bourne Ultimatum type of deal where it would be at least intended as conclusion. Trilogies are solid structures for a reason, I hope they don't turn this into a neverending story.

I'm up at 8 am after four hours of sleep bc there's no non-sold out showtimes later in the day and bah gawd I'm gonna see this endgame movie if it's the last thing I do.

The last man on BOT browsed the pages alone. There was a notification at the top.
