If I had seen this, I'd say Paramount's awards lineup this year would have nothing on how weird and wild this movie is. But of course I haven't seen it...

I really wish it wasn't delayed. Obviously it's close to being finished and I had it in my top 10 most anticipated at the start of the year due to the director, cast and concept.

Of course. I can confirm you haven't.

But will this be mainstream unlike mother!?

[Plain Old Tele]

Mainstream.....?

Do you really expect Alpha or Game Night to be #1 that weekend?

I implied no such thing. I only implied that Red Sparrow isn't gonna be some juggernaut that will kill Annihilation. 

[Plain Old Tele]

I don't even get the comparison. A great result for ANNIHILATION would be to double EX MACHINA. A more modest but solid result would be to merely surpass it.

I sure hope it's closer to Arrival/District 9 than to Ex Machina in terms of BO.

yes, I also really wish that it remained an award season player this year, I think the BP race this year is turning out to be average to fairly weak, it would be nice to have a film filling that "Arrival" niche.

$188,020,018

I'm thinking slightly below District 9 #'s for this if it's as well received as it.

@CJohn was telling me he thinks Blade Runner 2049 could make 190 million and I had the most confused boner because that means it'd outgross Interstellar and Dunkirk

Yeah, I'm not even sure Annihilation will get a big "full theater" release either. Arrival numbers seem out of the equation if you ask me, but anything's possible I suppose.

Perhaps, but I doubt it'll make much of a splash. Maybe it'll do around 30m. Will see.
