Fences - December 16th release, goes wide on Christmas

[Joel M]

Viola crying another waterfall doesn't excite me that much. But Denzel as the dissaproving jerk father I never had? I'm hooked.

85M.

This will be a hit over Christmas for sure . . Assuming that it's good. Black community will def show up for it and of course Denzel fans and older people. 

 

I wonder if Denzel can get a  directing nom for this.

Rogue One: $470 million

Sing: $260 million

La La Land: $175 million

Passengers: $160 Million 

Fences: $110 million

Office Christmas Party: $60 million

A Monster Calls: $55 million

LOL  December 2016 is so packed that you even forget there is a 150mil+ movie called Assassin's Creed. This is literally the box office version of Colosseum. Dogs eat dogs. Son, you are in for a show.

I haven't heard the best things about collateral beauty

Looks damn good, though it looks like they're really trying to push Viola Davis supporting like the rumors suggested, since she's barely in the trailer, and it's all abut Denzel.

Like an extended clip. Looks interesting!

[Ethan Hunt]

Its an okay trailer I guess

Its only a 1 teaser. I bet you that next trailer will be Davis show

There are reports that Davis (who wants to go leading), and the producer (who wants Davis to go supporting) are having a bit of tug of war. I don't doubt that Davis will have better showcase in the next trailer, but the first trailer is a probably good sign that she's being pushed supporting.

This isn't a real question though. Collateral Beauty looks ridiculously bad IMHO. I don't think Will is even getting nominated for it.

One movie is from a Pulitzer Prize & Tony Award winning play with lead performers who already won Tonys for their work in a revival.

 

The other looks like a Nicholas Sparks movie without a soon to be dead love interest.

The original scene from the play was linked on Reddit, and James Earl Jones is freaking intense in this scene

I actually prefer Denzel's interpretation of this on stage. Earl Jones is a fantastic actor but his intensity made him seem like he was more of an asshole father. Denzel's stage interpretation was more like  a father looking our for their son with tough love.

As great as Denzel is JEJ is another tier. Godly 

 

His voice and those rhythmic cadences, it's almost like he's in the pulpit. With all that intensity and power there's also this surging emotion underneath that still feels like love.

This looks very good.

I completely misread the title. I was wondering how a movie called "Feces" could get a Christmas release, and what the plot could be?
