Both my mom and one of my sisters are legitimately obsessed with that film. Still haven't seen it. 

There's a Hallmark movie that's a total ripoff of The Holiday, except they trade houses on the East and West Coasts instead of the UK/US (TV movie budgets and all).

 

It's great, the made-for-TV movies that aren't just a tweak of the five basic templates for these things ("C-list British actor as a fake European royal who falls for a plucky American gal down on her luck", "big city career woman learning the true meaning of Christmas/life after blizzard leaves her stuck in a small town", "people in the holiday industry--toy factory, Christmas tree farm, ornament factory, North Pole--losing sight of the true Christmas spirit", "woman going home for Christmas brings along a friend/colleague to pose as her fake boyfriend/fiance", "young widow/er finds love again and rediscovers the joy of the season", bonus points if a wedding is involved) it's just a ripoff of a "real" movie. Like Groundhog Day on Christmas Eve, or Sliding Doors, except she misses a flight around Christmastime instead of a random subway train, starring Hilary Duff's sister.

 

I'm telling you, Hallmark/Lifetime/ION/etc. are why theatrical holiday movies can't get the same foothold now. Just lower the star power and budget of Collateral Beauty, and it's not out of place in the Hallmark Channel lineup.

This thank you. The wanton desire for huge grosses is ultimately going to blemish what has been a great run by an above average film. 

Makes me wonder when Disney will distribute another $300m dom animated movie.

Probably won't be Cars 3, Coco, or Wreck-It Ralph 2. I guess we'll have to wait for The Incredibles 2.

I was in Altamonte today. The area I live is way too small to get major billboards  

Living closer to the Miami area, it's typical to see billboards for upcoming movies (although we don't get many of them; Sing, Moana, and Trolls are the only ones to grace the highway this holiday season).

She has connections in the industry. Her entire career is because of nepotism basically. 

 

But connections aren't nepotism. Connections are how almost everyone either finds work in the first place or how they keep getting work.

Ghostbusters is horrible.

Horrible.

Bo.com seems to be reporting different figures than The Numbers for Passengers...

Again as we continue to say Moana is behaving normally it lost more screens on Friday and will lose more on Sunday as well. It's not this weekend but all of next week that matters. 

 

Some of yall are just dense and not listening. 

I was referring to its lower than average PTA increase (20%). It's PTA held fine when it lost 500 theaters on Wednesday. Lost 300 yesterday and 100 more tomorrow. Just surprising is all. I'm not dense, just thorough

Considering in their entire history they have had only 7 animated films (Pixar or WDAS) cross that mark and 5 of them this decade it won't be long from a strictly inflation angle.

Her entire family is quite wealthy though. She had a career bought for her. I know this is a common thing in the industry, but I'm still pointing it out. I mean she has a frigging documentary about her coming out.

Moana is not frozen

 

To be honest frozen box office is a fraction of its actual impact overall.

 

I would argue way more people watched the film after theaters 

Most Disney animated films are like that.  My cousin's three year old daughter has probably seen Frozen 100 times

But it goes down like this in business...

 

Hey its the VP's niece she applied to this position.

 

Even if she gets hired or not she 1000% gets the interview increasing g her chances by default.

 

Usually where I work nepotism works in the end as people don't want to ruin thier reputation and put forward relatives they know would be good workers.

I can't speak about the modeling industry, but in movies while family connections or influence can open doors, it's up to the individual to make it happen, especially when you start landing more sizable roles. Enough people like her, and her movies have been successful enough, that she continues to get work. 

[titanic2187]

why passengers number is different between the number and mojo?? $4.5m vs $5m

[filmlover]

La La Land is gonna be kicking ass throughout the holidays leading up to its Golden Globe glory.

So on top of the 20M she gets part of the profit too?

So your under $100m club wasn't as far off as I thought it would be.

Delevinge has been in like six films, and only two of them have been successful, and not because of her. Valerian is her first real test as a lead, and judging by the trailer, personally I don't think she's gonna carry the film very well, but will see.

Just got an ad for Passengers and it was a sexy love story. Yet last week the ads I saw were space thriller/why did we wake up.

 

Man which is it?
