Cmasterclay Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Yea I kinda felt that shit coming when I checked on Monday and no showing the entire run had sold more than three seats tbh. I predicted about a Mad Max OW in the over Gravity club but I'm not stunned it went this low at all. That still blows though, this is probably my favorite movie of the year and I wanted to see ambition rewarded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YM! Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Much like last year, only one movie will cross the $100M mark, both a WB early September title, during September-October. On the bright side, like last year, November will be a nice rebound. Edited October 7, 2017 by YourMother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always much more dependent on being perceived as a box office success than something like The Florida Project is when it comes to the top categories. 1 minute ago, MOVIEGUY said: What makes you think it's in for Best Picture or Adapted Screenplay? The only sci-fi movies that get in multiple categories like that are the big hits and like the other dude said I don't think WB is gonna launch a big oscar campaign for this. Adapted Screenplay is really fucking weak this year. The Top 3 is Call Me by Your Name/Molly's Game/Disaster Artist, and Blade Runner is a solid fourth. The fifth spot is an absolute nightmare because there's a whole lot of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ has a shit filmography for an A-lister, but Cleopatra is the role she was born to play. It fits her acting persona She'd be terrible and distracting as Cleopatra. You'd be watching Angelina Jolie in ancient Egypt, not Cleopatra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJG Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Did Nolan sabotage BR2049 because he was jealous? Because he knew Denis was far more talented of a director? Because he recognises his own mediocrity and doesn't want his sheep fans to see an actual masterpiece? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) The director will be completely fine going by the reception and handling a big budget movie with big stars smoothly. He had Arrival just last year after all. Ritchie didn't get thrown out of Aladdin. Marketing has to take the blame. After Children of Men floppage (76 prod budget, 70 ww = 0.9x...so % wise worse than Pac Rim's 2x and eventually worse than BR49) Cuaron did Gravity with WB.
