This ship continues to sink, as Krampus is looking to be the better reviewed film out of these two. If the move really was for Oscars, that was one colossal fail of a decision.

So long as there's not too much water.

Choose which will be higher for as many of the following as you like: 1. Evolution's Worldwide total ($98.37M) vs Force Awakens' highest single day gross. 2. Evolution's Domestic total ($38.34M) vs Deadpool's Opening Weekend 3. Evolution Opening Weekend (13.48M) vs Hunger Games' 2016 gross 5. Evolution's UK gross ($10.79M) vs Point's Break's Opening Weekend 6. Evolution's Production Budget ($80M) vs Chipmunks' total gross 7. Evolution's foreign total ($60.03M) vs 13 Hours: Soldiers of Benzhagi total gross 8. Evolution's Opening week total ($18.9M) vs Kung Fu Panda 3's Opening Day

Wow. 15m is hardly a big opening, but certainly way better than I expected for Krampus. I wonder if the reviews helped? Pretty rare these days for mainstream horror to be fresh on RT. Skeptical of that number though, since its late nights were lower than Crimson Peak, and as I recall that movie also had a situation in the early Friday reports where it was reported to do 8m for the day and actually ended up doing only 5m.

Will for sure do better than VF and for sure worse than The Visit. So you're both wrong. Oh nevermind, I see you're just talking about your theater.

The reviews for this are honestly way better than I would've ever expected. I'd say about the best they could possibly be for this kind of movie.

I think both will still make top 15. Assuming BoS finished with 75 or so, there needs to be 9 more films to hit 75m+ (besides TGD and Creed) before the game ends for it not to make it. SW and KFP3 are locks obviously and Joy, The Hateful Eight, and Ride Along 2 should all do it. Daddy's Home and 13 Hours are maybes. So that's 7. Anything else is a long shot. Zoolander and Deadpool only have about a week to gross, so that's why they're long shots.

Well I'll be darned, first RT review is fresh.

Well that was an ungraceful fall from grace for me. Thankfully I think I have enough of a lead to still be in the top 5. Just gotta make sure I don't screw up this week too.

It had about the same Monday drop as Tangled/Frozen/Guardians/Penguins all did and now a better Tuesday hold than all of those except Penguins. So in other words it's holding just like all the Thanksgiving openers do on the first week. No way to tell yet what it will do this weekend. Those films ranged from 43-57% second weekend drops.

To Hemsworth's credit he does have some charisma and at least decent acting chops. I think he belongs in the industry, unlike his brother. I mean yes Thor was part of MCU and had that going for it, but it seemed like it would flop to a lot of us back when it was being made. Hemsworth was a big part of why it worked. I really don't think the character or even movie would've worked with almost anyone else in the role. He was perfect casting in that case. It is ridiculous he can command such a high salary for anything but maybe Thor, but I'm sure those days will be ending for him soon. I've never seen him in a movie though and thought "man this guy's a horrible actor, he clearly only lands roles on looks." He's perfect to play the superhero/action hero types. Just not so much the typical roles in dramas or comedies. He's very much the new Hugh Jackman in a lot of ways. He's got charisma and is not a bad actor, but people are only going to ever really accept him in one kind of role.

1. TGD: 22m 2. MJ2: 21.5m 3. Creed: 15.5m 4. Krampus: 6.5m 5. Spectre: 5m 6. Spotlight: 4.2m 7. Peanuts: 4m 8. The Night Before: 3.5m 9. Brooklyn: 3m 10. Secret in Their Eyes: 1.8m 11. The Martian: 1.5m 12. The Letters: 1.3m

The man is pushing 80. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here in assuming he even has one film left to make.

People here are likely to be harsh on SW no matter how good it is given it's, ya know, the most hyped film of all time. So MM definitely has an easier shot to win this.

Krampus, In the Heart of the Sea, Point Break, Sisters, Alvin....Merry Flopmas to all and to all a nice try.

Well at least he attempts non-franchise films I guess. His brother on the other hand seems well aware of how badly he'd flop outside the security of a franchise and only sticks to those.

Same. I've had lots of doubts with it, but still not ruling out it being another fantastic QT effort either.

Well there goes any tiny amount of faith I may have had left in its box office potential. If the OW isn't at least 25m for this, things are going to be very, very ugly for it.

The Conjuring is probably the only films I've ever seen the MPAA rate R only because they deemed it too scary to be PG-13. I kinda sorta agree quite frankly.

Promising twitter reactions overall, for whatever that's worth. Goggins maybe a dark horse Oscar contender?

The intermission seems annoying. Taking those 12 minutes out it doesn't even hit 3 hours, so I really don't think it was necessary. I don't think modern audiences will even know what the hell to do with an intermission. Probably those that don't like the first half will just leave.

Gimmie a break, what's the point?

Trailer got laughs throughout at my MJ2 screening. Especially Cumberbatch and Ferrell's parts.

Will depend on this weekend. If it drops over 60% I doubt it gets to 200, under 60% and it probably will. SF dropped 54% and QoS dropped 64% the weekend after Thanksgiving.

It really shouldn't be, but I think the only way it misses now is if SW really hits a home run and can overtake it as the top sci-fi pick. Even then, they would probably still nom both.
