Not a fan of Chazelle but I'm far more annoyed that Tom Hooper has one than Chazelle.

[La Binoche]

That 93% audience score on RT for Wind River better lead to strong grosses through Labor Day and beyond. 

 

The Weinsteins still got it.

Like we live in a world where Damien Chazelle has a best director win but Christopher fucking Nolan has yet to win or even be nominated for one.  

You can't take Oscars too seriously. We live in a world where Jennifer Lawrence and Gwyneth Paltrow are Oscar winners and Glenn Close isn't.

Yes watch out for Wind River, could be another Hell or High Water all around.

Chazelle earned the hell out of his BD award thank you very much

This is how WOM starts and effects the BO. 

 

My friend texted me and asked if THB was any good? Of course my response was yes. So now she and her friends are going to watch it.

So Wonder Woman will pass Spider-Man this weekend for sure. Tele's club is a winner. It should hit 800mil as well and all before Japan on the 25th. Hopefully it does like 20mil in Japan.

La La Land doesn't hold a candle to anything that Nolan has ever directed, thank you very much.

Pretty cool, right!? How about that increase?!  

[Zakiyyah6]

La La Land is fine, I'm not mad about it's wins, a lot of people loved it so of course it did well at the Oscars

The floor for this is Arthur Christmas numbers ($50M).

The Star has much more competition for screens compared to The Emoji Movie especially with Daddy's Home 2 and Coco. I wouldn't be surprised if it fails to crack the top 5 on its OW

Nolan's best work is on par with La La Land imo but certainly not most of his filmography

I almost screamed when I saw that increase. So happy about it.

I really don't see how Dunkirk misses BP and BD nominations.

It won't miss. It won't win anything but technical awards because I read it isn't overly emotional but it will get those nominations.

lol I too almost screamed! I'm sure once the actuals come out, the increase may be between 115% to 120%. That said, still amazing!

Still the faith based audience will help this tremendously, it'll have an OW around $13M-$15M imo, and then gain solid legs like most faith based films do.

Right now these are the nominations I think Dunkirk will get:

 

Picture

Director

Cinematography

Editing

Score

Sound Editing

Sound Mixing

 

Best case scenario is 11 nominations with Supporting Actor for Mark Rylance, Production Design, Costume Design, and VFX.

Oh sure, lately they always seem to overestimate it a tad.

Speaking of which, Mark Rylance would be the fucking laziest coattail nomination since Alan Arkin back in 2012. This year's Supporting Actor field is highly competitive, so it's not like he'd get in because of weak competition.
