Youre talking directly to me. And chicago came out 14 years ago. That might as well be 1940. Times have changed in the last 3 years. You can watch movies on line the day they come out. Theres not a lot of mid sized hits anymore.

I'm not talking just to you, I'm actually mostly talking to Futurist  and Lordmandeep and these legions of unnamed posters who are constantly posting irrelevant things about how the "internet people" don't understand "real" pop culture. Like, we get it, some Oscar movies didn't make money. The answer to supposed snobbery isn't being a condescending snob in the other direction constantly posting the same thing. Sorry, just gotta vent. But you asked for an example of an adult drama, then an Oscar winning musical, doing over 150. People gave you plenty of examples. You can't keep moving the goalpost.

It is kinda interesting that Ellen Page was poised to break out big and then kinda faded away. I feel like half of Anna Kendrick's roles could have been Ellen Page roles.

Funny, I'd argue Anna Kendrick stole Zooey Deschanel's thunder from her (to the point where she's retreated to television).

Wasn't Ellen Page recently in some DTVOD movie where she still played a teenager or a college student? When you're still playing those almost a decade later...

That's a big issue, she still looks like a kid. Not a leading lady. Unfortunately in Hollywood looks matter a lot for actresses.

Literally the last musical to win the Best Picture Oscar flew over 150 million and adjusts to 243 million dollars. LOL @ arguments that "there's no way an Oscar movie musical makes that much money!" People on here's war against critics and awards is too fucking much, man. It's making this site unbearable at times.

mmm Chicago was a very successful Broadway musical though and came out when adult movies/dramas had a a big market and still made money at the box office. Completely different situation... Not saying this won't do well though.

To be clear, I'm pretty sure I'd like this movie, although if I brought my mom along, I think she'd say "Oh, that was interesting".

does she happen to be a classic movies fan? it has a very strong 50s' MGM vibe, if she digs that.

Interesting that most of them are animated movies .What the hell is Red State though?
