i meant more for lead but yeah TDKR had a great supporting cast. Tom Hardy was kept hidden behind a mask the whole time tho

that was for Spongebob. $10-11mn with $900k Canada.

 

but since West Cost and New York is closed, that is around $6.5-7mn.

 

Unhinged was $600k in Canada, giving about $6.5mn NA, minus closed markets $4.25-4.5mn.

oh i mixed them up, that sounds about right for Unhinged then. is canadian box office usually 9-10% of US? or are anomalies common for some films.  Did avengers endgame make 70M-80M in Canada?

[Best Picture Predictions - 2020]

it's crazy how Da 5 Bloods came and went by so quick and the only thing people remember from it is Delroy Lindo

 

I wouldn't rule out Tenet as an Interstellar tech only player just yet, it might still pull off an inception if it's a hit with audiences.

 

so for bp i think

 

1. Mank

2. Nomadland

3. Trial of the Chicago 7

4. News of the world.

5. Soul

6. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom 

7. Respect

8 .Dune

9. Tenet

10. Da 5 Bloods 

 

French Dispatch is most likely a 2021 title at this point since Searchlight are going with Nomadland instead this fall. maybe if they release it in Feb it could make it in.

Idk, reviews a reminding me more of Dunkirk.

Dunkirk wasn't at all "confusing" or had an "incomprehensible" plot. like some reviews are saying. I think the general audiences are going to like Tenet more than Dunkirk

IGN's review

Quote

Tenet is not Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece, but it is another thrilling entry into his canon. In a world where blockbuster cinema is dominated by franchises and sequels, it serves as an accomplished demonstration of the pleasures of unconnected and non-serialised original storytelling. But while it does tread new ground, Tenet is the ‘safest’ film from Christopher Nolan in some years. Following two recent ambitious movies from the filmmaker, Tenet feels a little conservative, as if Nolan’s style is a franchise rather than a framework. Despite this, it remains more interesting than most other tentpole movies and acts as a beacon for the director’s strengths

seems like the people who got disappointed were hoping for 10/10 and 9/10 type reviews but instead got a bunch of 7/10s and 8/10s

Seems like this is a movie that's more focused on spectacle than being a film that tries to be "meaningful", which I'm honestly fine with.

yeah seems like it has a ridiculous plot but strong spectacle. it reminds me of Aquaman which mean i'll probably like it.

what does palindromic mean

[PAPA NOL∀N'S TENƎꓕ | August 26 internationally. September 2 "in select US cities" | 75% on RT after 228 reviews]

I predict Tenet will get 81 on MC and 93% on RT. Nolan's highest rated movie on Metacritic is Dunkirk with 94 and on RT The Dark Knight with 94% approval rating.  although my favorite Nolan movies (Prestige/Interstellar) are more rated in the 70s/60s.

 

 

I have been more interested in World War movies recently so I feel like I should give Dunkirk a rewatch. it's the only 2010s Nolan movie that didn't impress me much on first watch.

So is South Korea a dead market for Tenet now? Just noticed that its presales decreased from over 50k to 43k.

 

Edit: And seems like it's still decreasing. I have a hard time seeing this release next week now.

And it’s down to 40k.  This market was gonna be huge for Tenet. Hope they delay to a better time so it can earn closer to its true potential, rather than releasing it now and have it flop when people are afraid of the recent surge  of the pandemic 

 

 

[PAPA NOL∀N'S TENƎꓕ | August 26 internationally. September 2 "in select US cities" | 75% on RT after 228 reviews]

[PAPA NOL∀N'S TENƎꓕ | August 26 internationally. September 2 "in select US cities" | 75% on RT after 228 reviews]

this whole "2020 won't have anymore major releases" rhetoric has already became irrelevant when Tenet, Mulan and New Mutants stopped getting delayed.
