I hope so though they should give him director nom too. 

True! I keep forgetting that this was directed by him.

This BTS video of the making of "The Room" is amazing

I haven't actually got around to watching The Room yet.  I wonder if I should just dive right in.

I think you should watch The Room first before going to something like this. I don't think you would have as good of an experience if you just jumped into the deep end.

I will never stop laughing if this gets nominated for Best Picture. 

 

I'm curious about how this will fare about the box office. Movies about the filmmaking business often struggle to find an audience at the box office, and a movie about the making of a famously bad film already sounds like the definition of a "niche" affair. WB most likely sold it off to A24 cause they didn't know how to sell it to a mass audience despite the cast, so we'll see how they'll handle it, especially when this will be opening right as The Last Jedi hype will be reaching fever pitch levels.

Not sure how wide this is going to go initially, but if it stays as like a platform release, I could easily see it having a 150k+ PTA. If it's wide (2000+ theatres) I would say 7-9M OW.

[WrathOfHan]

I'm expecting a mid-teens opening on the 8th. If Office Christmas Party can do what, 16M?, with bad reviews, I don't see why this can't break double digits, especially with Franco and Co.

[YM!]

I'm excited for this.

I can see this getting a total in the $50M or $60M range. A niche film for sure, but it has a lot of starpower and it will go wide around the same time as the Golden Globe nominations are unveiled, so it'll likely get some good buzz from that (I would be shocked if it missed Best Picture and Best Actor for Comedy)

That would be almost or more than double A24's current highest grosser. I have it at $30-35M, which would be really good news for A24 given the crummy year they're having.

[That One Girl]

The Room is a mini cultural phenomenon and this is getting excellent reviews.  $60M wouldn't shock me in the slightest.

[Valonqar]

I really hope this is a boxoffice hit and a major awards player (at least Franco).

Now would be a good time to bring up this club of mine:

Oh, Hi Sydney!

 

Don't watch it in a theater for the first time. The audience will be so chaotic you won't hear half the lines and the whole thing will just seem weird. It's the anticipation and interactivity that's fun about the screenings, so see if you like it at home first.

All of my calls have failed. 

 

EDIT: I MANAGED TO GET IN.

 

Spoiler

Basically, I reach "Tommy Wiseau's" voicemail, with a brief message from him and that his mailbox is full. 'Twas glorious

Yes, for the same reasons it really helps a lot to see PLan Nine From Outer Space before seeing "Ed Wood"

 

 

I suspect "The Disaster Artist" might repeat "Ed Wood"'s history: great reviews but not a lot of box office..

In this internet age, and with a shorter gap between the releases of the films, I actually disagree with this. The Room is an extremely well-known phenomenon.

I think I have a very different view on what's extremely well known.
