Get Out | February 24th | Under Comedy/Musical Category at Golden Globes

[AniNate]

The press always focuses on the #1 film. Split had the benefit of an empty marketplace so it got the lion's share of press coverage for a longer time.

what we need to do is keep reminding them there is a masterpiece called get out, and i hardly think there will be a backlash for such movie, this could be a moment of honor for horror genre!

btw, will the theater count for get out be even more in 3rd week? there is space for increment clearly, to 3300+ maybe

If there are any kind of mainstream critical darlings later in the year, they're going to overshadow this. Actually I think Logan already may have a slightly better shot at getting noticed.

No more than Deadpool did.

 

The academy doesn't think the Comic Book film is worth noticing.  You have to make a movie for $250,000 starring cliched characters but make it a relevant topic so that the academy can at least look like they give a shit about racism, or gender equality or women's issues or what not.  Logan does none of this so it will not be nominated for anything.

[AniNate]

Logan's reviews are better than Deadpool's, and it has a serious tone and immigration subtext you could latch onto if you were so inclined. That being said I don't think either film realistically has much of a shot.

[DAJK]

I would like it, but who cares if Logan gets any academy awards. I loved the film, 95% of this forum loved the film, and I'm happy with that.

That wasn't my point.

Get Out has a much better shot to be an oscar thing, even a minor one. Logan has slightly better reviews than Civil War and it's not gonna come close to Deadpool at the boxoffice. Get Out has unprecedent critical support for the genre, tackles an "important" issue and it's probably gonna become the biggest horror hit of the decade. I think it can at least get a screenplay nomination.

If (or when) this tops $150M it will be a huge feat. The last horror film to top this number (unadjusted) was What Lies Beneath in 2000 $155.5M. The Conjuring just got past the $150M mark in 2013 if you adjust the films for inflation.

If it drops softly this weekend, then 150 is locked.

According to BOM, the highest grossing horror movies are Sixth Sense, Jaws, Exorcist, and Ghostbusters, but I don't consider Jaws or Ghostbusters horror films in the traditional sense at all. There's a very legit chance that this becomes the third highest grossing horror movie ever.

Ghosterbusters not really horror. Jaws is most definitely is horror.

I consider it more of a monster movie thriller than a horror movie. I'd put it closer in category to Godzilla or Moby Dick than a horror, but I can see the argument for it. 

[AniNate]

I wouldn't say Sixth Sense is horror either. More like a dark fantasy/drama

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

The problem is its sometimes difficult to pin down horror. Many would consider Get Out more a thriller.
