  1. BATB somehow took an animated film that was so good it became the first animated film nominated for best picture, and turned that into a live action film that is almost razzie worthy. All while following the beats of the animated one fairly closely. I must admit, that is kind of impressive in a way.
  2. Ok, but ironically I think it’s the kind of film you would go for if you could see it as fiction, not trying to be an accurate portrayal of the circus. I appreciated they kept the animals mostly out of it, because otherwise I would have been like you and not benn ok with any “romanticizing” of that aspect. But the movie does have a really good message.
  3. It’s a feel good Hollywood musical. If anyone believes they’re telling an accurate and not extremely fictionalized story using the name of a guy who actually existed, then they’d have to be about as gullible as it gets. In other words, no one is coming out of the movie thinking that’s really the way it all went down.
  4. I’m a big animal rights guy, but yikes at that analogy. Anyways, the movie practically ignores that animals were ever involved. They hardly even show any animals in it.
  5. Jumanji is outgrossing Sing in dailies now and only a couple mil behind its total through the same point. Should be well ahead of it by Monday with a significantly bigger 4 day. That finished with 270. I’d say that’s the floor for Jumanji now.
  6. A shot at 225? Um it will be well past that after next weekend. Gonna be around 190 after the 4 day.
  7. Jumanji 3 is all but guaranteed now, with the same cast+some big new additions I’m sure. Unfortunately we will probably get Zathura 2 out of all this too.
  8. Jumanji could pass 200 as soon as Tuesday at this rate. Unfortunately it may miss out on the all time highest non-#1 grosser since it also has a good chance to beat TLJ next weekend.
  9. There was definitley a contingent of us here saying 200 for Jumanji in the past month or so. I know Baumer and EnpireCity were also in our camp.
  10. Nah, IT was showing every sign of 300+ in the weeks leading up to release. I was a naysayer of it for months when people were talking about 200+ all through the summer, and even I realized by August it was going to blow past that mark.
  11. I expected that NATM could happen in an absolute best case scenario, but that’s still a solid 50m below what it might do now! It will definitely be a movie that absolutely no one here or any box office analyst I’m aware of predicted 300 if it makes it.
  12. Jumanji will easily be one of the most shocking 300 grossers of all time if it gets there. Probably even ahead of the likes of Deadpool, Alice, and American Sniper.
  13. I’d say it’s possible. Should be easily over 200 going into next weekend.
  14. Jumanji’s not even in 3D is it? Could be closer to 85% of TLJ attendance for Thursday in that case.
  15. Jumanji is pulling 75%+ of TLJs gross yesterday, which probably bumps up to more like 80% of the attendance when you factor in all the PLF for TLJ. That’s absolutely insane to think about.
  16. A lot more schools out that week than last year?
  17. Can see something like this for 4 day fri: 23 sat: 25 sun:14 mon: 18 80m 4 day
  18. Wouldn’t surprise me if TLJ drops down to RO #s after Monday and stays either on par or slightly behind it after that.
  19. Rey’s theme and Jedi Steps are the big exception, those are definitely up to par with his OT/PT best. TLJ score is the definition of good but not really memorable for me.
  20. Objectively, I’d say one can make a case for the prequel music being superior to the OT’s. Nowhere near as iconic mind you, but in terms of quality it’s definitely debatable. The ST music is far far behind the PT/OT so far, IMO.
