I've said it before and I'll say it again, fuck Pantelion and Universal for pushing their movies above those figures. Like you couldn't have let Overboard rest at 49m you had to fudge it? Seriously? Fuck off

Last year had a hurricane so the pre-LD weekend was noticeably deflated. Not the case this year. Although I do think CRA will increase if only because it's likely to add a few more hundred theaters. Would be really surprised with more than a 28m three-day though.

Lmao at Equalizer having added theaters this week just to 100% ensure Sony wouldn't have a headache getting it past 100m and/or the original.

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.

If The Meg follows TMNT '14 from here it's gonna hit 140 dom. And that movie wasn't some legs monster so if it holds a lil better it can flirt with 150.

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.

Damn boys and girls, looks like someone has finally arrived to TELL IT LIKE IT IS about all the actors and the movies

Gotta be just a matter of time before they make it now.

You don't even know who she's cast as dude.

Not enough.

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.

The problem with the internet is that there's always someone out there who isn't yet tired of making arguments like these.

Well he's pretty on point about Logan.

~35k isn't bad at all.

Yeah I can see it trudging through mid-to-high 90s through all of October.

I have a feeling Christopher Robin is gonna get Wrinkle in Time'd at a certain point and I hope it's as entertaining as it can be

Gosford Park and Chicago would probably win in '01 and '02 just like at the SAGs.

Enjoyed this. Even with the screensavery look there's still a better sense of old-fashioned big-screen grandeur here than in almost anything else I've seen this year.

week 18 yes

Still Alice is one recent American movie I remember that did it.

Haven't seen anything with Dunham in it but Tarantino finds good use for his actors almost without exception. I mean he made Eli Roth work onscreen. I'm not really worried.
