Interesting... Variety thinks that ITSV should have had 2 more Oscar noms (Adapted Screenplay and Sound Editing)

I agree, it could've easily been in those. And it would have been nice to get some noms in other categories for animated films to finally acknowledge them as something else than "kids movies". Guess we have to wait a little bit longer for a more wide acceptance in that regard 😕

Absolutely deserved it!

 

Will this give a push to crawl to $200million? Or is that too far off?

No. An Oscar win has never had a significant effect on an animated holiday release. It should top out right below 190.

It's literally impossible to come up with an argument for how Bohemian Rhapsody and Vice are better films.

Vice is, at the very least, better than Green Book which you forgot to mention.

Yep, the movie that won BP, got the coveted A+ CinemaScore, and is on its way to a 15-20x multi at the box office must be crap. Mmmmmmmm, salt.

Off-topic, but can we please stop bullying MovieMan for liking Green Book? He's not harming anybody and he's clearly not gonna change his mind at all. Just let him be

 

Anyway, cool to see this getting a re-release. Probably the first time  an animated movie has gotten a post-Oscars release like this.

that's not an argument for a movie's quality.

[filmlover]

A prestige dramedy hijacking a thread for a funny book movie (when it's always the other way around)? Never thought I'd see the day.

by arguing in favor of the film on its own merits rather than by using outside sources as proof?

I mean fair enough, but anyone's opinion of a movie can simply be dismissed as is.. their own opinion. If I wanted to say A Quiet Place is a shitty movie, that's really just my opinion, just as valid as me saying it was a spectacular movie, because either way it's just my opinion. If I say the directing was great, the acting was great, the script was tight and sharp, and the movie played extremely well with the genre, with its use of sound blah blah blah… those are all my opinions of the technical aspects of the movie (they would be correct, but that's beside the point).

 

I think at this point, what with everyone who likes Green Book being shit on by this site, it's not enough to say "oh yea, I think the acting was awesome, great script, touching story blah blah blah" because anyone saying that would be written off. So at this point you've got to back up your opinion with, as you called them, outside sources. It's box office staying power, A+ grade, and Best Picture win are pretty compelling arguments that many many people think it's a good film.
