I can tell you this, La La Land is going to be a fucking monster.  Killing it and will keep doing it when Passengers bombs.  

Hopefully Lionsgate fucking moves it back to Christmas then. I feel like it missing the holidays is gonna severely hurt its final gross

If it goes over 160m OW then it's going over 450m

Its only flaw for me is somewhat generic characters. Otherwise it would be practically perfect for a sci-fi blockbuster.

West Coast to those early DHD numbers:

 

BTW, Tele you should check out SHIN GODZILLA. I think you'd really dig it

[MovieMan89]

Um, why does Wiki list OST's budget as $378m? No way that can be right. Right? 

 

But the budget is sourced with a Forbes link. Wtf, how did I miss that movie cost 400m?

btw, regarding R1, Mrs Tele is in Baumer's camp. She's a casual SW fan at best, and didn't really connect much with R1. She said she could sort of appreciate it on an intellectual level -- what it was doing -- and she could see how it could be fun for more diehard fans, but she didn't really care much.

But enough of all this crying. It’s time to get happy, so how’s La La Land doing? Damien Chazelle’s rebirth of the Hollywood musical has exploded into the top 10, landing in 7th place with an estimated $3.9M weekend and it’s only at 200 theaters! Theater average is a whopping near $20K which will bring its 10-day cume by Sunday to $5M.

Saw the movie tonight. FYI for those curious the trailers I got were Logan, Kong: Skull Island, Power Rangers, The Fate of the Furious, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Cars 3 (priceless reaction from the rowdy youngsters in the crowd), Transformers #Whatever, and Valerian & the City of a Thousand Planets.

Half my theater laughed hysterically at the end of the Cars 3 trailer. Only thing that got a bigger reaction was the last joke in Guardians trailer

[DeeCee]

I still thought it was great on second viewing. 

[Dementeleus]

WTF is this BOSS BABY crap, anyway? That trailer felt like it was two hours long.

[La Binoche]

Paramount’s Fences is doing OK with a near $28K theater average for the weekend and $108K over three-days at four locations. I think with its two Golden Globe acting noms for Viola Davis and Denzel Washington along with another three at the SAGs including best ensemble, the consensus was that it would fare better. After all, it’s a major studio movie, and we keep remembering the $100K opening theater average that A24’s emotional Moonlight posted back in October. Nonetheless, it’s still early for Fences. It goes wide on Christmas and the expectation is that it will log $9M in its first two days.

Best reaction to our trailers tonight was most definitely "YOU GONNA TURN YOUR BACK ON FAMILY?!"

I think FENCES is gonna find itself mostly lost in the mix, caught between trendier, hotter Oscar-buzzier platform releases and huge tentpoles stealing all the screens.

Strap yourself in. You hate animation now, well 2017 is the year where studios try their damnedest to make us all hate it.

It's really talky and boring (at least the first 20 minutes, after which I stopped watching).

better than sing

 

BOSS BABY looked so fucking stupid that I oddly thought it was a decent trailer? Like I remember it more than SING, THE MUMMY, SPIDER-MAN, and DUNKIRK

[La Binoche]

Why do the TV spots make it seem like Michelle Williams is the lead? 

 

 

[MovieMan89]

The trailer for Fences has to be one of the best for a non-blockbuster of all time. Will be hard to live up to that quite frankly.
