It will mirror it in that the deserving film/person wins but the same people as usual will cry that it's because the losers are black that they lost.
I don't even care about the whole race thing lol. La La Land is a great and very competently made film, but don't have much else going on for it. At least to me, and I'm a sucker for musicals.
I won't be upset if it won, but I still think there are two or three more deserving the award quality wise among the nominations.

Finally watched this. Cute, and the chemistry is good. But frontrunner for Best Picture? ....kay. Not a bad film by any stretch, but feels pretty vanilla.
This winning Best Picture over Moonlight will mirrors the Grammy giving Album of the Year to Adele instead of Beyonce, tbh. But I digress.

Whoops at Lego Batman. I guess I'm one of those that overestimated it. Then again, the trailers, as good as those are, seemed to be gearing toward the cbm fans more than the family audience.

Also, this is taking the Sing spot.

The only Shyamalan film I really hate is only Last Airbender.
Happening is a great comedy, Village is beautiful, Lady in the Water is meh but still passable.

If OS ended up with around $800 million, I think an almost 50:50 DOM:OS split might happen.
-
Wow, we need to make a list of how many films that Your Name had cockblocked from the top.
-
Critics aren't gonna affect this. The only thing this need to be is cool, and even with a 20% RT score, as long as people come out of the theatre after watching this thinking something along the line of "that's actually pretty fun" $100 million DOM is good to go.

Now thay I think about it, PR and TMNT is actually in a very similar situation??
Both are adaptations from a very popular kid show in the 90s, have budgets in the $120-150 million range, opens just one week after a Disney tentpole that target similar demographic (BATB is practically a YA-family film, at this point). Also, didn't they cross over once in the tv shows??
Yeah, I think Turtles-like number can happen if things went well.

There's a slight relation on how a film performs in Japan and S. Korea. Films that do well in South Korea tends to do well in Japan as well, and vice versa. I don't think there's any recent big Hollywood flicks that do well in S. Korea but bombed in Japan.
I think $25 million (4 million admission, 40% of Frozen's, and around 85% of Zoo's) is possible for Moana in SK. Taking that percentage with a grain of salt, and go with the Zootopia comparison, I think $60 million from Japan isn't too crazy.
-
The trailer actually looks good. I guess I'll see this after all. Seems like the Marvel formula will do wonder for this.
-
I'll stick with the anime, thank you. Big budget or small budget, live action anime adaptation always ends up being meh at best and fucking horrendeus at worst. Don't really think this will be any different.

I'm thinking a little higher than that, maybe around $280m? By January 2nd, Tintin had made 66% of its final gross. Sing will be sitting around $180m, but January shapes up nicely for it and it should keep a high theater count throughout.
I'll be damned, I forgot the biggest January release is probably A Dog's Purpose and that one is like $80 million tops.

I think Sing will finish at the $250-260 million range. Somewhere around $10 million within Moana, whether it's over or under. Probably over unfortunately.

Lol at Pitch Perfect above Transformers.

Depends, really. Had a policy that I only pirate films that are at least 1 year old, and had a DVD release. One of teh reason is, Netflix is still a huge question mark in my country, so there's that. Will immediately got myself a Netflix account once it's clear here tho. Used to the same with music, but once Spotify came, I immediately switched to paid streaming.
But yikes at people that blatantly pirates films like, one week into the theatrical release. That's just flat out terrible.

Finally watched it. Good enough, really. The first half is a solid A-, but the second half is B at best. Overall an enjoyable film.
B+(7/10)

Jurassic World is dumb fun, and I'm looking forward for another 2 hours of giggling to myself and groaning as people got chomped down by dinosaurs.
