So after Batman he'll move on to this ... works for me.

 

Boxoffice wise, It kind of depends on a lot of things ... audience reaction to him as Batman could give slight bump to his usual 'director' openings but probably not much ... also, whether this film is an Oscar style contender leading to great legs.

 

Christmas Day is a Friday in 2015 ... complete wild card guess if its' good.

 

27/105

 

Never in my life have I just made up a number as much as right there.

I think BO will depend mostly on Oscar prospects but it should do well on Christmas regardless. People seem to like Affleck as a director more than an actor.

This is getting here sooner than I expected, seeing Affleck is playing Batman now.

[Cmasterclay]

His other adaptation of a LeHane novel resulted in his best movie and one of the top crime dramas in 25 years, so needless to say I'm excited.

Well, if it gets a limited release (like AS and TR), than it's a great news.

usually if movies go limited initially and then go wide in january that's specified when the release date is announced. seems like a dump to me.

[filmlover]

Maybe they're thinking about eventually moving Collateral Beauty to 2017 and will open this in NY/LA on its date followed by a wide release in January.

I posted a smiley back in May in this thread.  That is when I heard the rough cut screening was incredible.  Now they have moved it up to The Revenant slot with a likely limited release in NY/LA in December.  

 

This all points towards Warner Bros. thinking this is a Oscar contender and the info I heard being correct.

Was assuming they'd have a limited release of it in December.
