I've heard Bay's pretty good at coming in within/below budget, but I didn't think it'd be that low (I was thinking the $50-60 million range). That's probably a good thing then.
The fact that it's on the cusp of surpassing the domestic totals of both Batman v Superman and Aquaman, and in a fraction of the time either film spent in theatres, says otherwise.

The two examples that come to my mind especially are both from Jaws (Brody being browbeaten on the ferry, Brody and Hooper warning Vaughn about the great white).

I'm seeing Belfast on Tuesday, Godfather Part II Friday, and The Batman Saturday.
I saw this movie twice in theatres, and yet it's only now that it's really registered that that was a long take.
Okay, it might not be a real one and just put together with editing, but it's still impressive as fuck.
Here's hoping.
At the same time though, we have Kaminski, Lubezki, Prieto, and Sandgren all releasing films at the end of the year (and if Empire of Light is finished on time, then Deakins will almost inevitably be nominated), so I can't help but feel a little hesitant to say it's a shoo-in.
I'm gonna go with 75 Metacritic, and 87% RT with average rating of 7.60/10.
The work on Farrell effectively guarantees it's getting nominated for Best Makeup, and I feel pretty confident it'll nab a Best Sound nomination too.
