I wonder which A24 film will do better at the box office, Lady Bird or The Disaster Artist? They've become a formidable player in the smaller studio market. Fox Searchlight has also made a comeback with Shape of Water and Three Billboards. 

I think Lady Bird will eventually make more on account of being more accessible (The Disaster Artist should do alright but it's appeal will be limited to only "fans" of The Room).

I'm so excited for Saturday numbers. I feel like Thor will hold well. It's been for the past few days!

 

Good luck to it next week when JL hurts it, though it should recover during Thanksgiving

I think the next film if they do one will be Death on the Nile since it's the second most famous Christie book after Orient

 

And Then There Were None is way more famous than any Christie book outside of Orient Express but it probably won't happen because of the unfortunate original title (and song). I think in most countries around the world it is still known as Ten Little N*****. That would be an easy marketing campaign.

That book is so incredibly good.

And Then There Were None was just adapted as a TV mini series which was quite good.

I think this weekend, more than anything, reinforces that Will Ferrell is still a draw, especially to the family crowd.

Daddy's Home 2 didn't need to be a PG-13.  There's no worse language than anything in E.T.

I feel like a movie that has jokes about dead hookers should probably be a bit higher than a PG.

I imagine that joke probably caused the PG-13 rating.

IMDb have a new version of that listed from the director of Passengers. Also most modern adaptations called the poem Ten Little Soldier Boys.

Deck the Halls is still the worst Christmas movie.

Was MOTOE shot in 70mm? I see Arclight showing it in that format.

Has no one seen Surviving Christmas or Four Christmases? You'd be hard pressed to find a worser Christmas film outside of the ones they show on Hallmark.

I'd also argue Christmas with the Kranks is up there. That film's creepy conformist message still gets under my skin.
