    Do you consider Wonka or Venom 2 to be Blockbusters? Because that’s about the domestic total Dune II is on track to have

     

    Personally, would reserve the “blockbuster” designation for the few $300M+ plus titles each year, and as of now, between preview tracking and expected IM and March legs, getting to that level would take a significant outlier result 

    How are two movies that grossed over half a billion not blockbusters?

    I agree except to say they may think twice about recognizing the men for all the big awards attention (Baumbach and Gosling) while more or less snubbing the women (Gerwig and Robbie). Might not be the best look for them… 

    They nominated the white guy in Blackkklansman and ignored the black lead, I don't think they care

  3. I get being worried about Gerwig not doing original stuff, but also, it's not like Narnia is some cynical IP. It's probably the most respected book series of the 20th century after Lord of the Rings. Feels much closer to a Dune type of project if done right. I don't think it's fair to compare it to Disney remakes or superhero stuff.

    It will be interesting if studios do counter programming on this scale in future as people are already trying to make a Wonka/Napoleon double feature a meme now. 

    That meme makes zero sense. Those movies come out a month apart.

    But yes, Hollywood will absolutely try to replicate this and embarrass themselves. Barbenheimer was organic, you can't force something like this.

    I just realized that this will most likely be on PVOD (which menas it will also be on 4k on piracy sites) the week it releases overseas

    Not necessarily. Universal seems to be doing different release models for each film (The Black Phone was released on VOD after 3 weeks and JWD after 6). And I wouldn't be surprised if Peele demanded a bigger theatrical window in his contract.

    Very different for actresses. There is a huge correlation between Best Actor winners and their films getting into Best Picture, and a movie like Elvis with a low 60s on MC would need to be a smash hit at the box office to get in. 

    Ok then, King Richard bombed at the box office and Will Smith still won. None of the Best Actors contenders will make much money unless they really nominate Cruise or people are hyped for Brendan Fraser comeback and the new Aronofsky performs like Black Swan.
