Without a Best Picture nomination or any other major recognition besides a nom for Portman I don't see it going much further than Carol and The Danish Girl (which finished slightly over $10M).

It's on par with Brooklyn right now, a good performance in limited so far.  Don't write it off yet.

It's a good thing you said "domestic", because Cameron will

come knocking December 2018 and the world will answer.

Try like 2020. If we're lucky.

I honestly think @filmlover is just trying to convince himself Emma Stone is locked for Best Actress

I think it's gonna be a tighter race between Stone and Adams than Stone and Portman at this point.

BTW Manchester by the Sea is really slaying in its expansion. Bodes really well for when it goes "wide" next weekend and throughout the holidays before the awards shows come around, especially since it's the only movie out really targeting older (40+) viewers other than Fences (which will definitely skew older).

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Thinking Manchester can end up with at least 50m, which would be absolutely fantastic.

Adams isn't even safe for a nomination (unfortunately).

Wut? She certainly is. Certainly safer than the likes of Annette Bening or Ruth Negga, whose films look to be nonfactors.

Top Franchise for 1st world nations = Star Wars

 

Top Franchise for 3rd/2nd world nations = Avatar

It's hard to make the statement when there's only been one Avatar film.  Don't want to get too far into the debate, but we won't know how the sequel performs until it's out.

Assuming it comes out.

Huh? The trailers were funny, almost as funny as Zootopia. It had smash hit written all over it. 

 

... and who said that anybody doubted it would be a smash hit? I'm saying who the fuck saw it doing AS MUCH as it did, actually beating Despicable Me 2, coming? Smash hit applies to anything in context. 300M alone would count as smash hit for Pets, nevermind the 368M it did.

Star Wars isn't the biggest franchise in most 1st world countries.

 

It absolutely dominates in the United States, though.

@Christmas Baumer put in 370m in the summer game. Credit where it's due.

Or to rephrase it, he predicted Pets to do 60M less than Independence Day
