Oh yeah, JM's reception is just fine. It's actually gone up a few points on RT from 79 to 82%. Box office wise, I'm thinking a wide opening between $7M and $9M.
Update: It's been moved to March 13, 2020 for a limited release.
So that's basically a full year's worth of delays. It was originally supposed to debut wide on March 15 last year I think it was.
I feel like it could benefit from the other wide debut - Like a Boss - being so unappealing.
Then again, the wide expansion of 1917 is probably going to kill both. I'm kind of intrigued though. I may see it on Tuesday after the OW.
9 BAFTA nominations for 1917, 3rd behind Joker's 11 and 10 each for The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Oh, and finally got my ticket for Saturday afternoon. Can't wait!
Yeah it doesn't really stand out in any way. Looks like whatever buzz there was for Jamie Foxx's performance died too. Like I said, though: WB won't mind, given all the accolades Joker is getting.
Yeah, kind of an uninspiring choice, but oh well. Hopefully Hans and Co. having something up their sleeve. As others have noted, we're only 3 months away from release.
Has any film ever been delayed due to the music not being ready??
Whatever the circumstances, why would one allow a baby to get to almost full term and then abort it? I can see in a case like you described getting an abortion early on. That's why the issue isn't black and white for me and I'm not necessarily anti-abortion. I just can't get over women actually fighting for the ability to get an abortion at almost full term.
It is their right, which is why I'm not fighting against it or anything. I just don't like it and I have a right to my opinion.
I've been reading more into it. It's "symbolic revenge". They wanted to display some show of force and save face. There were no casualties. I doubt anything escalates too much further.
It's disgusting. Not necessarily abortion but the whole attitude towards it, that it's all about women's rights and their empowerment. It's like sure, it is your right, but do you really realize what you're fighting for? Do you really WANT to be able to abort a baby when close to full term? It's disgusting.
$11,404,113 OW for The Grudge. With the toxic word of mouth it has. have to think it drops around 65% next weekend ($3.99M) and disappears pretty fast after that. Too bad.
