Lionsgate isn't going to see any of the OS money apart from UK so it really needs to do well in the US and UK markets as well as being a decent success for the local distributors.

Can't believe Lego Batman is only slightly behind Despite Sings's bigger opening, even if it only gets to £25-26m, it's still a big success.
Logan, £9-10m seems likely, I imagine it could get to £30m total which might be tricky with the huge competition in March. I have a feeling Kong is going to be squeezed as its released in between Logan and Beauty and the Beast

It's truly crazy.
You would think after Miss Universe and now the Oscars, award organisers are going to try and not have cock ups like this happens at their shows.
On the plus side, it's going to give award hosts material for this year's Tony's, Emmys etc

If it happened during Zootopia's win and they announced Kubo had actually won, cannastop would have gone full on Blanks...

Lion is 100% gonna be forgotten, that's for sure. Okay folks, with the win of Spotlight and Moonlight for the last two years, expect Fist Fight to be our best picture winner next year.
Poor Weinstein, least the film has been commercially successfully.

Absolutely brutal.
Most movies would kill for the success of LLL. The producer handled it better than most people would, which made me gain a lot of respect and sympathy. I think I may watch the movie sometime.
True, they not only have critical acclaim and a boatload of awards but they'll still benefit from the boost financially since it's still playing and I imagine it'll do a ell on home entertainment, VOD and TV airings so Lionsgate will benefit for years to come

La La Land still won 6 awards it would have been nice to win Best Picture but it doesn't take away from the fact it had a good night overall.

Jimmy might be pissed tonight but it's given him some great material for his monologue tomorrow.

You can bet they won't be having older actors doing the BP envelope opening next year and they'll have the envelope with huge letters as well

I know people say they feel bad for LLL but I'm not sure why. It's won a ton awards and is a massive box office hit. It's in a place most films would kill for.
Lionsgate had a great night overall, despite not winning BP La La Land is a huge hit for them critically and financially

Really, I felt bad for Chazelle. He took it extremely well but you could definitely see the confusion on his face. What a total screw up on the show's part, but I'm glad now that both films will have people recognizing them.
Chazelle least has best director as a consolation. The film has plenty of awards so not getting BP while disappointing isn't going to hurt him in the long run.

Yeah, A24 has quickly risen to the top, no denying it. They are officially here to stay.
The small indies really have done well aware wise with Open Road winning Best Picture last year and A24 but it hurting the likes of Weinstein and Fox Searchlight
Lionsgate despite the BP loss still had a great night with 6 wins for La La Land and Hacksaw Ridge combined.

Despite the cock up, Moonlight's win shows the rise of A24, they've really come far with films like Moonlight, Ex Machina, Amy etc I wouldn't be surprised if we see Amazon get a best picture win within a few years
La La Land should still a boost at the box office with the wins for Chazelle, Stone and best song and score.

Jungle Book's win was no surprise, that film was visually impressive, only Kubo came close with its stop motion techniques

The LCU has done great work so far, with only WDAS, Pixar, Laika, and some Dreamworks films beat it in quality or on the same level of quality. I have no doubt the sequel will be great.
WAG have done some great films, even Storks which was their weakest had its moments.
Smallfoot and Scooby Doo are the tests whether WAG could have non Lego hit, Scooby is more likely than Smallfoot due to the name recognition

I thought Piper was their best short in at least a decade. First time I've legitimately pulled for a short filmmaker to get feature work
I imagine Alan Barillaro will get a shot at directing a feature at Pixar after this win.

Pixar wins something.
First Pixar short to win in years! I did like Piper though my favourite short film that wasn't nominated was Inner Workings. That was hilarious!

You could argue it both ways since she disappears for a large portion of the movie. Her winning in Supporting for Fences is nowhere nearly as criminal as Vikander winning Supporting for The Danish Girl for what was unquestionably a lead performance.
Viola won the Tony for Rose as Best Actress as the Tony committee in 2010 saw it as a lead role but when the original actress who played Rose in the original production of Fences won the Tony as Supporting Actress.

Where is the question? June either will get destroyed by TI2, July has either HT3 or Amusement Park, and August will have live action Disney film and maybe Amusement Park, April would be a nice spot or May 18th one of them could bully Laika out of there.
May could work and Laika could go to August or October. April might be tricky for WAG as they'll sandwiched between two WB releases. I think Larrikins could go to June 1st, giving them a two week head start on TI2.

Yes they will. That's why I said that Smallfoot's the one that needs to change. Larrikins won't be hurt by BP, nor will it hurt BP (at best, it'll take some of the family audience away, but not too badly, I think).
I wouldn't be surprised if Larrikins or Smallfoot moves to summer.

Universal won't try it. They would need to start the campaigns now which means the earlist possible release date would be late March/early April. Way too many big movies in there and they have their own blockbuster to focus on.

We know now it gets released in Australia/NZ in May as well but this is it.
Given it'll be profitable from domestic alone, Universal don't need to release it straight away in many markets plus I suspect it wouldn't be cost effective to release it against the March onslaught of films anyway.

It's difficult to know because I suspect it varies depending on the distributor and country,
