Personal ranking of the nominees I've seen so far:
1. Oppenheimer
2. Poor Things
3. The Holdovers
4. Barbie
5. Killers of the Flower Moon
6. Maestro
This really wasn't a great year for movies overall IMO. Too many high-profile disappointments.
Anatomy of a Fall is better than both Barbie & Maestro.

Aquaman 2 looks like it's locked for $120M and $400M worldwide. Not a terrible result all things considered.
Aquaman 1 grossed $1152 million worldwide..... Aquaman 2 grossed one third of that. How come it's not a utter terrible result ?!

...No that's not how it works. Theaters get more of the profits as it goes on. Studios get most of their profits from opening weekend. Theaters like leggy films because they get more profit from them. And 300 million wouldn't be 3x its production+marketing budget, it'd be 2x. Marketing being excluded from film budgets is Hollywood financing trickery, there's a reason why the rule of thumb is to triple the production budget because that's how you account for the subtracted marketing budget.
The plain and simple conclusion is that Aquaman 2 is a flop while Aquaman 1 was a blockbuster. And it is astonishing to think that in 2022 Aquaman 2 was scheduled to release on the same day of Avatar 2 !! What a disastrous situation it would be for Warner Brothers !!

Not much different I guess from Stallone and Schwarzenegger being leading men/draws for a while. Although neither of them are anywhere close to as attractive as Evans and Cavill.
Schwarzenegger had tons of charisma which Evans clearly doesn't have. Schwarzenegger name was enough for people to go to see the movie.

I genuinely think one of the smartest (or perhaps luckiest) decisions made for Anyone But You was casting Powell and Sweeney. They're both up-and-comers who have bona fide hits under their belt that make them recognizable (Euphoria for Sweeney, which is very big among the online Gen Z/Millenial crowd; and Maverick for Powell which was strong for older white women) but they aren't A-listers to the point where it's just "Clooney and Roberts in another movie together". They are small enough to disappear into their roles, and big enough to be recognizable.
It also helps that they're both strong actors who have genuine chemistry with one another. One thing I've been noticing lately is that the "movie star" isn't as dead as we thought it was 2015-2019. Sure, you don't get surefire 200M grossers just by casting an A-lister anymore, but if you get the right actor in the right role, they are massive massive draws. The "franchise" trend of the 2010s (which is still strong mind you) is somewhat becoming eclipsed by a "star + concept" model which honestly excites me.
If ABY can make it to 80M total (or screw it, 100M seems possible) I think it's a huge win for the industry, a huge win for rom-coms, a huge win for movie stars, and a huge win for theaters.
Sydney Sweeney was great in the movie Reality.

Anyway, it’s honestly not looking horrible for Aquaman WW. I expected worse after the latest CBM bombing.
It's like how every horrible Salman Khan movie in India earn some money at the box office due to being a holiday release.

Made $550 million. I don’t know what you’re talking about
MI7 is a huge huge disappointment at the box office. Ask anyone in Paramount and Skydance.

One of the best films of 1993 is the criminally underrated Last Action Hero.

Indians don't give a shit about Animated movies.
Maybe could've affected small stars like Hrithik, but not The King.
If you already have not known then I have some information for you......
Hrithik has won the best actor award of 2023 in IIFA..... Shahrukh is nowhere to be found..... LOL

Can anybody explain to me why you think that the 2023 movie will be a big hit when in fact the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie was a disaster at box office ?

avatar 2 had a higher PTA than maverick last weekend ($1,763 vs $1,594), but it had a 3rd of the theaters
That only proves Avatar 2 is more leggier than TGM and is more beloved by the audience.

Sad for Shazam as it’s a good movie. The discourse surrounding it and the DCEU, plus the films opening around it - proved all too much in the end.
Shazam 2's situation reminds me of the unjust reception and fate of Arnie's 1993 movie Last Action Hero.

By the way, if these CBM flops do force studios to get a little more creative and we see more straight action movies like Top Gun: Maverick then I am all for it..
Most comic book movies are using a very tired formula. I only get interested now if it's a comic book movie that is aspiring to be another genre (see: The Batman )
Calling Top Gun Maverick an action movie is like calling Naked Gun movie a drama about police squad.

Marvel just has to start caring about quality, from their VFX to their writers and directors.
Hire James Cameron and give him complete control...... MCU is saved.
