Fuck that problem on our till is really hurting Jumanji for the late show. Won't even reach 9M, probably closer to 8.2-8.4M here for tonight

Are you telling me that at your theater it is...

Wait for it...

TLJ will probably be 16.5m with these openers and mixed wom. Lucasfilm will soon announce Kasdan coming back to co-write Episode IX.

Eminem's Not Afraid music video?

I hesitate to use the word 'never' but... Kasdan is never writing another SW film again.

[JB33]

TLJ still on track for $17.5M?

I guess it depends on how SOLO turns out.

Nah, he's said doesn't want to write more SW films.  Only did Solo because he loves the character AND he wanted a chance to write a film with his son.

Does anyone think this is shaping up to be the modern day TPM in terms of reception?

ESB is more likely.

 

People will analyze TLJ to death and come to appreciate some of the underlying themes much better.

 

LucasFilm isn't waiting around. They just stomped the fanbase and said "ketchup"

Hmm, didn't know that. Good for him that he got that opportunity though.

I liked The Phantom Thread. Finally something I liked. But is there room for one more prestige pic at the box office?

Like it? You didn't love it?

 

Even with Daniel God Lewis?

I don't know if it all came together for me in the end. But I'm still digesting it. And the lead girl gives the best performance in the movie, not DDL. 

[Lancelot Gold]

If deadline is short by 1.5m like Monday, it would put this more at what I expected, 19m. I was originally thinking in the range of -3% to +1%. Where is Rth so I can go to bed, haha.

Anyone else wondering if All the Money in the World (despite all the press and last-second move to replace Spacey) will flatline?

I loved it but I’ve had like 2 weeks to digest it now and yes Krieps is phenomenal. It’s certainly a very beautiful movie like every aspect of its design is stellar.

they did some good stuff, but execution was sloppy, and some of that comedy with Luke on island was just bad or just plain insulting

 

I'm sure there will be a great fan edit

I'm curious about that myself. Reviews are good, but I think it could get lost in the Christmas shuffle. I don't think the controversy and last minute casting change will really help it all that much.

I expect Last Jedi will be better appreciated in the future, but not to Empire Strikes Back levels.  Empire Strikes Back is almost universally considered the best Star Wars movie.

Throw enough money at him and he'll do it.
