That is bad for Bad Moms.

It's fine since the budget was low but it's clearly going to make about half of what the first did. Daddy's Home is next up on the chopping block.

FANTASTIC opening for Lady Bird, holy shit.

 

The love for Saoirse makes me a happy man.

Lady Bird is definitely looking like one of the top 5 Oscar contenders now.  Gerwig could get a directing nom, it's hitting at the right time and it has glowing reviews.

I don't think Gerwig is happening (they'll go for "showier" directing contenders) but I do think it's A24's #1 push now and it will get plenty of nominations. Very happy that her directorial debut has turned out so well.

WOHA Lady Bird...

 

Saorsie is coming for her third oscar nomination

It's not a guarantee, but she fits in with noms like Abrahmson and such. Nolan, Del Torro and probably McDonagh are likely in, the other two slots could flip to a lot of different directors.

I feel pretty comfortable saying Guadagnino is in along with those three.

That had to have been expected though. Yet another sequel to a well-liked hit that nobody asked for. Daddy's Home 2 is definitely next.

Okay, so $120M is pretty much a lock now for Thor with that Saturday number, right?

[That One Girl]

As long as Bad Moms makes 45M my winter game is fine.  I predicted 309M for Ragnarok off of a 119M OW which looks to be pretty spot on.

[filmlover]

It's really impressive in retrospect how The Hangover 2 was able to hold on as well as it did 6.5 years ago. Speaks to just how popular the first movie was. In today's environment it probably would've been lucky to make half of what its predecessor did given its reception.

Jigsaw above estimates to 6.7M

Woooooweeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Not a lock but very likely

Yeah, that's...really, really bad. The Killing of a Sacred Deer might actually end up making more, and that film is hardly setting the box office on fire.

Jigsaw (in a smaller way than some of it's counterparts this year) is yet another win for horror.

Probably will end up with about a 1.2k PTA over Thanksgiving weekend in 400 or so theaters.
