Really interesting stuff. Is there a way to find about re-releases of the older movies? Because those insane numbers for 10 commandmends, Ben Hur, Dr. Zhivago look very sketchy.

Tom Hardy is simply amazing in this and not in a so bad it's good sort of way. He's outright amazing. The movie sucks tho, outside of Hardy it's just a boring uninspired mess. Fleischer might be the actual worst director in Hollywood atm.

It's funny there's so much hate here but when the Kingsman guy gets casted to play "Elton John but with muscles" you go oh what an inspiring casting choice. In the Billionaire Boys club (a bad movie) Ansel pretty much wipes the floor with that guy despite not having the showier role.
Ansolo has been good so far and he 'll only get better. This forum will see the light eventually.

I was also referring ot the actor-director status , which is quite rare.
Affleck was talked about as WB's new Eastwood, at least before Live by Night bombed.

After watching A Simple Favor, I really wonder why Blake Lively isn’t a bigger star, she is magnificent, extremely beautiful and a good actress, selling all aspects of her character. Amazing. Kendrick was almost annoying next to her.
I guess Green Lantern and Savages which were her early "big" Hollywood roles floped hard and that hurt her a bit. She was percieved at the time by some as another talentless pretty face that Hollywood tried to make happen, even though it wasn't her fault those movies sucked ass. She was smart to take a step back and go for smaller stuff and it paid off. After the career resurgence she had the last 5 years, she will probably get something bigger/more high-profile soon.

If Netfix willing to give up their toxic day-to date release strategy(at least for Roma), I think Academy will be very welcoming the movie
Yeah this is what it'll come down to. If Roma has the same release pattern as every other Netflix movie, it might win a bunch of oscars like foreign or cinematography or even a second one for Cuaron but it ain't winning Best Picture. If Netflix makes an exception and gives it a 1-2 month theatrical only window there will be no baggage at all.

flopped overseas
156M is flopping because the old Ocean's movies made more? If you say so.

For an early October wide release ?
Oscar nomination will be 22 January 2019, only poland/japan open after October 26, it will be a hole 3 month deep. Do we have any precedent or an early release that start wide and roll-out everywhere in october helped by the Oscar.
Dominating the Globe is more likely to be one, them being much sooner.
I think 100m is huge but a possible target. Like SLP did (changing NFL football for country/folk music) .
I guess you can call it early critical-press-online buzz that leads to eventual oscar buzz when they have already made most of their money.
-
Gaga and Cooper and oscars and the main song possibly becoming a legit hit on its own will help a lot, but it's not doing LLL and Showman numbers overseas, anything above 100m OS would be huge for a Star is Born. It's about Country music after all.
This movie has a better shot at 250m DOM than it does OS.

When would Disney consider Aladdin a success? $200m DOM and $400m OS?
I think even Maleficent numbers would be considered dissapointing for this. Disney should expect Aladdin to be bigger than Dumbo or Mulan or anything else on their fairytale line up that isn't Lion King. I don't think it will come that close to BatB even if it's well recieved but 600-700M WW for one of the crown jewels of the Disney Renaissance would feel like a massive dissapointment, even if it makes its budget back and a small profit.

I actually forgot The Front Runner had already screened lol. Bodes so well for that movie's prospects!
Judging by everything I had heard about Destroyer before I never really considered it a likely contender in the first place.
Both of those movies looked like actor/actress plays and little else and they still have a shot at that. If best actor is weak and the Front Runner does well I can see Jackman getting nominated, same for Kidman.
There's no Billy Lyn, Suffragete high profile disaster this year.

I thought it was a lil bit dissapointing after all the praise, only because I think 4 and 5 are still better and more complete movies than Fallout.
It's not that the non-action stuff is bad, but they felt a bit been there done that 100 times before, and the plot was overcomplicated for no reason to the point it makes you feel the runtime every time the action stops, especially in the second half. The other thing that I didn't like was the ex-wife on the climax, it felt shoehorned and never landed for me, it would feel exactly the same if she was some random doctor Ethan never met before. And I believe this side plot took a lot of screentime out of Rebecca Ferguson who sadly has very little to do compared to the last movie.
But overall it was a really good action movie. Cruise and Cavill were both amazing and the action is next level stuff. There's no reason to single out any sequence, pretty much every action beat in this movie took my breath away. In a way it was a marvel to watch but I wished all the plot-character parts were either more inspired or at least not as overstuffed.

@Joel M Good call on The Others. Another Nicole 2001 that stood the test of time. Too lazy to look who won that year but she owned it hands down.
Halle Berry for a good performance in a movie no one remembers existed. Which seems to be the case for many acting winners.
-
X director has multiple oscars but hasn't won Best Picture so he's gonna have a due narrative is a ridiculous argument all together. Cuaron has 2 personal oscars for just his last movie. He didn't win BP though that poor guy.
I'm sure people will still argue this next year with Tarantino, but it's just silly.

And I thought the Gosling tries to save jazz was a stupid controversy. This is another level.

This is low key one of the best movies in Miyazaki's career, maybe even the best.

I liked it a lot. It was a fun dumb movie that also didn't do the tired wink-wink see how silly all this is? If I have one complaint is that the first 45 minutes until Meg attacks the station are a drag, this part of the movie should have been 20 minutes at most.
But once the fun starts it keeps getting better and better. My favorite scene was the attack on the crowded beach, I loved that shit.

First trailer at ytb has only 1,3 mil views though. Isn't that weak for such a big project?

ehhh I think those fan-servicy revivals work only once and VMars already did that. Huge fans of the show saw the movie after years of whining why it was cancelled before its time, it was fine and then they moved on.Same goes for Arrested Development s5, Gilmore Girls re-reunion etc.

Rooting for Venom to open as huge as possible because Hardy really deserves it, but also to have a beyond embarrasing drop next weekend because Ruben Fleischer also deserves it.
