I don't know where BOM took its figures from but Inside Out definitely wasn't beaten by Home in local currency (it made 1.066 billion rubles vs Home's 900 million) and given how close together they were released I have no idea why it would've been beaten in dollars either. You aren't that off base about the Oscar/indie films but every once in a while they make for solid mid-range performers. La La Land and The Grand Budapest Hotel come to mind as movies that did well, finishing just outside of the top 50 of their respective years. One of the problems is that it's just really hard for any movie to develop legs here if it didn't start out at the top at the first place. After two or three weeks there's just too much new competition for screens. The concept of a platform release is non-existent.

Please Napoleon as if you'd post that video if she hadn't acted in Zack Snyder movies.

I've embarked on a Paul Schrader-a-thon and already I'll be hugely impressed if I see a better movie from him than Blue Collar. Up there with the all-time great directorial debuts. One of the sharpest and rawest social-issue dramas I've seen, and Pryor, Keitel and Kotto are all good as hell in it.

Too many increases imo. Especially since this weekend wasn't deflated like last year's. If TMNT '14 dropped 30% on its fourth weekend which was Labor Day why would The Meg increase? If RN dropped why would Fallout increase? If Pete's Dragon dropped why would CR increase? Don't even get me started with shit like Mile 22. If no one wants to see that on a regular weekend they won't suddenly wanna see it on a holiday one.

I never had any desire to rewatch it. It's fine and I'd pick it over most superhero movies but Hawke is right that it still can't escape being silly underneath the whole somber attitude. Ironic that it got nominated for screenplay cause that's easily its weakest part. I doubt its reputation is gonna come down that much though.
