Detroit is basically Fruitvale Station 2.0. People just did not want to go out to the theater to endure this.

With Detroit, I feel the same way as with Apes. Audiences don't want to sit through things reflecting the political reality in theaters and just want to get away from the news cycle for a few hours. I can't blame audiences for staying away from what looked like a grueling watch and instead opting for more pure entertainment options instead. Detroit won't make the awards season now for sure.

Can't blame them given all the crap going on in the real world. Release date is not great either. Most people want escapism during the summer.

Especially when - not to start a political discussion - we have a president that's going on TV saying that police brutality is A-OK.

A bit late to this best of 2016 but

 

 

The fact that OJ wasn't nominated for Editing astounds me. It's a 7-hour-long film that feels like a brisk 2 hour one.

My favorite movie of the year was #1 for one weekend and plummeted to 4th on its second weekend

At least you got to experience it in the cinema, and leave the theater amazed, underperforming or not. Ape-terrific.

I could feasible switch it with a couple other things right now but I've kinda been leaning that way so that's why I used it

[Blankments]

Honestly tho, in regards to faves of the year, really only one of my top five has kinda disappointed at the box office, and even that did well, I was just hoping for more considering its limited run

[dxmatrixdt]

i am surprised that The Dark Tower, being a fantasy/western/horror, went up from afternoon estimates.

DARK TOWER, THE (2017)
DETROIT (2017)

 

 

guessing Kidnap to be B+

You think box office will have that much impact on Detroit's award chances? Release date is a problem (too early). But it has the subject matter, critical support, and a very respected production team. Would be surprised if it doesn't receive nominations in the major categories. 

[That One Girl]

My top 5 is Apes, Logan, Dunkirk, Baby Driver, and Get Out.  Only one is underperforming but it's the one that matters most

@WrathOfHan good news, looks like the WOM for Detroit won't be toxic
