Big Hero 6 | November 7, 2014 | Now available on home video
MovieMan89 replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
Japan getting it early is really stupid since Frozen only closed like a month ago there. It will be like a whopping 3 months between, and I don't think the Japanese will be ready to make another Disney animated movie huge when Frozen mania still hasn't even died down there. -
I'd definitely call it the dark horse BP contender this year. It could definitely pull a Beasts of the Southern Wild and get nominated I think. We'll see how it can hold its momentum through the storm of the big contenders, which could potentially wash it out of the race.

I think the fact that it came back at all squashes the whole "IMDB absorbed it" thing we were worried about. Not sure why it would come back if IMDB had decided to shut it down. This seems like a technical problem with the site to me now that's hopefully fixed, and we just have to give them a bit of time to catch up on the updates. But if I'm wrong and it goes away again this will pretty much be the worst thing ever.

Awful 12 hour day at work today, but getting home and seeing BOM back just made me a whole lot happier. Looks like they're not updating yet, but at least the site is back! And big thanks to whoever made that deal with the devil IMDB to get it back for us. Just know your soul has not been lost in vain.

You know what sucks is I have my IMDB bookmark right below my BOM one, so when I got redirected I merely thought I had accidentally hit IMDB's bookmark. Then I tried again, this time making sure I was clicking BOM's. And then I was like...WHAT...THE...FUCK...and rushed here immediately to see what was going on.

Dear god this is absolutely awful as any kind of box office tracking fan. BOM was the place to keep up on the box office. Sorry, but nowhere else can remotely compare. Think of all the stats and data we no longer have access to without it! I can't even find freakin dailies on IMDB! Seriously this sucks so hard it's beyond expression. It simply will not be fun to track box office anymore without BOM or a new site very similar to it. If it doesn't come back I may honestly lose my interest in box office tracking, and I never thought I'd say that.

At present I think the noms look like: Locks: Unbroken Foxcatcher The Imitation Game Birdman Boyhood Near-locks: Interstellar (not calling it a lock given their history with Sci-fi and Nolan snubs in general) Gone Girl Fairly likely: Selma The Grand Budapest Hotel The Theory of Everything Outside Chances: American Sniper Whiplash Wild Big Eyes I honestly don't think Into the Woods is even an outside chance unless it gets stellar reviews and grosses like $200m+ at the box office. Marshall hasn't gotten close to a BP nod since Chicago, and this feels like Nine all over again. Musical with a big cast that will be a critical failure. Maybe this one will be commercially successful since it's got Disney behind it, but BP chances seem nil to me.

Eastwood's track record since Gran Torino has been abysmal even with his Oscar baiting films (J Edgar), so I certainly would hold off on calling anything by him an Oscar contender right now before it comes out. Especially since even Changeling and Gran Torino were ignored despite actually being good movies.
-
Boyhood will be nominated, but I'd bet money it won't win despite the early odds in its favor. It's just not the kind of movie I can see the Academy really going for, especially with half a dozen major Oscar baiting films in contention this year. At best Linklater will get Director and BP will be different for the third year in a row. Though that seems unlikely too.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials | In theaters

Man with these awesome new cast additions my interest for this franchise keeps growing exponentially. Such a surprise, I never would have suspected I'd care one iota about the first, let alone a whole franchise of it before I saw it. Guess you really can never judge a movie till you see it. -

Very good trailer, but now I really think the movie should have just been called Baymax. Even the taglines throughout the trailer sound like they're leading to that title.
