Steve Jobs only opens internationally on the November 12 weekend At least we are getting it on that weekend. 

Can't pull a sad face. whenever we get Oscar bait that comes out before the year actually ends and not in january/february it's a victory.

[CoolioD1]

It's pretty amazing how weak the legs on Black Mass are. It had a 51% drop on the second weekend, 47 last, and 46.5 this weekend. 

because it's straight up not good.

That also happens here, it is the same all over Europe. 

[DAJK]

I'm predicting 32/103 for Goosebmps.

Films of the Year lists for US and UK publications are always amusingly different for this reason.

I know i wasn't using the royal we.

27/90 for me. Like Crimson Peak, strong legs in the second and third weeks, drops like a rock afterwards.

Birdman and Whiplash are gonna be in my best of 2015 list

Birdman and Whiplash are gonna be in my best of 2015 list

If Birdman was a 2015 release it'd be third behind Inside Out and The Martian.

Maybe don't bring you're toddler to Sicario for so many reasons?!?

Come on, it's well-made, well-acted...the problem is it's not special. At all. Were it not for Depp and the above-average directing the movie would've received very little attention. On the page it just doesn't stand out. It's a gangster movie that follows familiar gangster movie tropes. 

[Ozymandias]

I can see Scott Cooper making something truly great with the right script(no, not crazy heart). 

[CoolioD1]

he might be the best director who's never made a good movie.

 

but also depp isn't very good in it. it's a surface level turn that relies mostly on appearance/accent. no difference than the rest of his current work.

Curious how Jobs expands. It's definitely not as commercial as Social Network and feels like a more rigid film (to its benefit I'd argue), but it's very good and I think people won't be disappointed even if they come in with TSN expectations. 

 

Pan is a fascinating failure. I've got to imagine WB is worried about their commitment to King Arthur right about now. Swashbuckling action is a hard sell without a star or a novelty.

They have that covered

[Mr Terrific]

Anyone seen He Named Me Malala?

Main interests I have are overall quality and whether it would be ok for a younger kid

And they're trying to make that into a six-film series.

[La Binoche]

I read the Crimson Peak script out of curiosity last week. It's good but not scary. They don't even get to CP until like page 45. The first 40 or so pages are spent on Mia's character and her desire to become a respected female writer (think Little Women) while she's being seduced by Loki. The big reveal is not really a surprise. It almost made me wonder if the movie should have been a straight thriller instead of a supernatural one. But the last 20 pages will allow Chastain to really chew up the scenery.

Key word is TRYING.

Many unhatched chickens being counted in Hollywood.
