Do you think it would make Jonathan uncomfortable if we all got naked and discussed it in detail? No girls allowed of course.

So do you wanna tell Kal it's never coming out then, or should I?

As long as it's not a straight sex scene directed by Nolan. I'm not prepared to see poor Marion Cotillard die in a freak orgasm stroke.

He was closer to 30 already actually.

I thought it was William Regal.

My Coloradoan opinion: \

Lol, can't believe Jonathon came back for round 2 and got dragged even further through the mud. Just for the record Jonathon, the argument you may have been looking for is that some movies skew heavier female or heavier male in appeal, which is true. Some movies do. However liking any movie has nothing to do with your sexuality. Britney Spears' Toxic and Baby One More Time are some of the best pop songs of all time in my book, and as far as I know listening to them never "turned me." Now, I am going to let you in on the big secret of the one thing that does in fact mean you're gay: only wanting to fuck the same sex.

Don't feel too bad, all of us majorly screwed up at least 5 movies this year. Check out the domestic top 15 standings thread, it's like walls of red in there:

Haha, yep. Here ya go: 1) Star Wars: 600M 2) Mocking Jay 2: 405M 3) Spectre: 260M 4) The Good Dinosaur: 259.9M 5) In The Heart of the Sea: 175M 6) Kung Fu Panda 3: 165M 7) The Hateful Eight: 150M 8) The Peanuts Movie: 145M 9) Creed: 130M 10) 33 Hours: 120M 11) Ride Along 2: 119.9M 12) 13 Hours: 100M 13) The Revenant: 99.5M 14) Point Break: 99.4M 15) Daddy's Home: 98.5M Your post is right below mine on the first page of the pre-season prediction thread.

Yeah, but you were one of the few to have ITHOTS in your top 15 in the winter game with over 100m I think. No offense, but obviously you are way more inclined towards these types of films than the average person. It can probably be one of those small leggy drama films Disney tends to put out every year, where it opens to like 10 and finishes with 35-40 (i.e. McFarland last year). Nothing about the marketing indicates a sizable OW though. Anything over 15 would be pretty shocking.

Well Heart of the Sea itself is a great place to start for why it will do poorly. That actually did have a blockbuster-esque campaign with big flashy visuals. Still tanked hard. This is like that without even the visual hook for the audience. What exactly is appealing about it? The trailers look extremely dull and Pine has zero draw power. Best it can hope for is catching on with the over 40 audience, but even in that case OW will probably still be low. AUJ had a 75%/129% Fri/Sat jump on this comparative weekend. Hopefully it is doing something similar and today's bump will be big. It did follow AUJ's holds most of this week.

Yes, but we all know your affinity for films taking place on ships, especially if a love story is also involved.

If I have to have that debate one more time...

Wtf, NORM is the one that has the good hold this weekend? What kind of abusive monstrous parents are subjecting children to this?

Thank you! If they are truly doing their job, they will vote for the performances they think are best. Not a black member voting for Michael B Jordan over Leo because he's black, even though they thought Leo was actually better. Adding more diversity to the Academy could change nothing if there still aren't many great roles there for POC like the majority seem to agree was the case this year.

I honestly find it to be the easiest live action musical of them all to watch. Most are kind of a chore for me to get through, even the ones that I still think are good (i.e. West Side Story, Sound of Music, Moulin Rouge). I've seen Chicago several times though and the runtime always flies by. It just doesn't have that grating feel most musicals end up getting for me.

Chicago is the last musical to win Best Picture because it is the last musical even remotely on that level. It's a fantastic production of a film and highly entertaining. I mean, obviously The Two Towers should have beat it that year, but that was never going to happen.

Lol, looks like @DAJK's crazy high # for the Boy wasn't so crazy after all.

Definitely don't buy RA2 beating TFA this weekend based on weekday numbers.

Because it would have to co-co-exist with Pixar and Illumination?

Illumination sure has incredibly huge grosses for only appealing to the "babysitter/nap" crowd. Even if it's true that adults aren't big fans, kids most certainly are. You know, the target demo of these movies.

Even $900m+ of competing DOM grossers? Because that's around what Dory+Pets+IA could gross.

That awkward moment when That Awkward Moment begins to look like a career high point for Efron.

10m+ weekends would be a little insane for any of the openers hilariously enough.
