If he didn't even get nominated for Nightcrawler, what are the chances Gyllenhaal ever wins for the matter?

Ironically WB has the worse luck when it comes to Fall animation unlike Sony Animation (which is doing shitty this year) which have consistently had hits in the September-October Corridor: HT1, HT2, Cloudy 1, and Cloudy 2 all did over $120M domestic and two of them had worse or the same reception as Storks and Ninjago. Open Season adjusts to $100M and Goosebumps is above both Storks and Ninjago.

I think Smallfoot could break that cycle but maybe WAG should consider August or October for their films.

With Kingsman as Magnificent 7 and Ninjago as Storks, this weekend mimicked last year's same weekend almost eerily.

 

Kingsman, I have to admit, didn't increase as much as I had hoped. Guess it's going to follow a path more akin to Ted and The Expendables than Pitch Perfect and Jump Street. Its opening is probably also small enough that American Made has a shot at #1 next weekend. We'll see. For now, it seems like Kingsman might not reach much more than $100m.

 

As for NINJAGO, though, it pretty much cements that they should have just gone with getting a direct LEGO movie sequel out this year and then put Batman in this date. It may have been a popular property for LEGO fans, but it's pretty obscure elsewhere, and they took a gamble to see how the LEGO brand name would sell alone. With the reviews and buzz, it won't get the same adult appeal that the first two movies had, and it should end up having sold as many tickets as the LEGO movie did on OW alone. Hell, I don't think it's impossible that My Little Pony outgrosses this.

 

Stronger may have been a bit weak in upfront marketing (I didn't even know it was going wide at first) - but it seems like the kind of movie where WOM can get it too a good total. Roadside should have started this on 30 theaters than went wide next week, but that seems to be what Battle of the Sexes is doing, so...

 

IT is single-handedly saving the month. Damn thing will be near $300m once Blade Runner opens, and I definitely imagine that WB will do everything in its power to keep it floating (no pun intended) through Halloween.

For Churchill?  I think you might be right but is that even getting a release on NA?

Look You was at TIFF. I've heard that reaction to Oldman perfomance was extremely positive. Is it true?

Stronger might not be it, but I'm sure Gyllenhaal will eventually get an Academy Award. Like with DiCaprio, Jake is just too good to not get one at some point.

He needs to get nominated again first. Brokeback Mountain was almost 12 years ago. His time will come eventually.

Makes sense if they do that. I don't think Wan is directing Conjuring 3, or he's said so himself. I would imagine maybe Corin Hardy taking the helm of that thing (assuming The Nun is a good movie), or even someone like a Mike Flanagan (that would be an instant victory bet..... you never say no to the guy that made a good prequel to fucking Ouija, one of the worst horror movies ever made), since Sandberg is gonna be doing Shazam and Lights Out 2 in the next few years. And yes, Annabelle 2 beating The Conjuring 2, if/when it happens, is stunningly remarkable. Has that ever happened before in a horror franchise?

 

I doubt if it has happened in any franchise (horror or non-horror).

Lego Ninjago was never going to be a huge money maker, even if it was the best movie ever made.  

 

Its concept limited it to a very male-skewing movie and a very kid skewing movie (since what adults have heard of "ninjago") - the reason I used Captain Underpants yesterday for BO and multiplier was b/c despite having better reviews, that movie is the most like this movie's audience.  When you start by taking your quadrant audience down that much, when reviews are so-so, you're not looking at a huge opener.  

 

Worse, it's a quadrant that has multiple seasons available on Netflix...so when my boys want Ninjago, I just tell them to watch there.  How much more is the movie really offering to anyone that those seasons aren't?  

 

And, as mentioned here now, and what I mentioned before the year, whoever the heck put this in the same year as Lego Bats was insane - wildly more popular concept, more 4 quadrant possibility, better made movie which comes 1st will always make the next one compare disfavorably.  The fact the DVDs came out for the 1st about 6 weeks ago, means mom and dad can literally say "watch Lego Bats - it's more fun"...and the kids will be "okay." 

 

All in all, if the market was better for animated movies, it would have likely opened lower.  Many folks must have been like me - having little boys who want to see a movie...and were torn if the Fandango deal making it $45 OOP to see this (4 tickets for $30, $15 for popcorn/soda) was low enough to get them in...obviously it was low enough only to grab about as many as CU did (which also had the same deal)...

Considering MLP is only opening in 2,100 theaters, its chances of outgrossing Ninjago are VERY slim  

[filmlover]

Next weekend:

 

American Made - $18M

Flatliners - $7M

 

Curious as to how wide Fox Searchlight is planning on taking Battle of the Sexes. I could see it doing more than Flatliners depending on the theater count.

I think Sexes will get into 2k theaters instead of 1k then 2k like Gifted. Theaters have the screens to spare right now.

[a2k]

What are the chances that IT is #1 next weekend?

 

If this weekend IT comes in at 31m and Kingsman2 at 40m, then 38.7% drop gives IT 19m next weekend.

And a 53% 2nd weekend drop for Kingsman2 would put a little below 19m.

Wouldn't surprise me, it has been getting a big ad push on TV. Hope it makes as much as possible both for Stone and to stick it to the MRAs whining "this is manhating SJW propaganda" oh shut up.

Not impossible but not likely. It'll be in a tight race for second with Kingsman though (I'm expecting American Made to open at 20M)

Oldman is as locked as anyone will ever be. He will not lose this.

Kingsman can still make four times its budget worldwide. Third film is still likely

American Made - 21M

That weird Screen Gems-esque thriller and the religious movie - fuck if I know
