I thought Shape of Water was really weird, I mean it wasn’t bad at all, it was even pretty good. But dang what a weird movie. I liked the atmosphere created and the way it was shot. I didn’t care as much for the characters. I haven’t seen Disaster Artist (they didn’t send it), but I want to! It sounds funny. 

 

For me, I have to find a story interesting, so you will know it’s a complete failure to me if it ever checks the box “ordinary people doing ordinary things.” Dramatically I believe that’s unforgivable and violates a basic principle of scripting. The Post, Molly’s Game, and Darkest Hour are all

about very interesting people and circumstances in some cases historic. Lady Bird... about a teenage girl who is actually extremely annoying and not in any way whatsoever special. It’s amazing it gets 99%, I would give it an F flat out. Worst movie I saw this year.

I'm a poker player so Molly's Game is a must see.

 

Plus Jessica...

[redfirebird2008]

That would be a great number.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's a good number for TLJ if it holds

Jumanji is the hit Sony needed. Now, to spin-off it into a cinematic Universe...

There’s Zathura.

@redfirebird2008 if that number for TLJ holds, it would prove that we cant use the 2006 comparison anymore i think.

 

And holy hell am i happy about this Deadline update

[AndyChrono]

That is an incredible jump for TLJ. Lends credence to the school schedules keeping down it's weekday numbers.

[Brainbug]

Where is @Lordmandeep?

Yes I agree, but it also did not jump on Thursday like the 2006 movies either.

[JonathanLB]

Do you find Jessica attractive or mainly just her acting? I think she’s an absolutely fantastic actress, for me one of the best in Hollywood. But I don’t find her very attractive. Dont get me wrong, she’s pretty, but not special. A better Bryce Dallas Howard (who is like a 6), but not like... a knockout by any means. Still her and Margot Robbie (also gorgeous, not fair) are two of the more talented actresses around; I, Tonya was also fantastic.

Those Estimates seem really good in general. 

So Deadline thinks TLJ will have a 34.4 Million Monday. And that Friday would mean Saturday and Sunday would need to gross 55.3 combined, that seems to optimistic, but would be really, really good if it happens

[Maxmoser3]

Very good holiday numbers for the top three. Father Figures, Showman, and Downsizing are the holiday duds.

Yeah I think a lot of schools had a different holiday calendar this year. Probably will see a stronger New Year's week as a result (or a crazy, super-charged Christmas week).

 

My family really enjoyed it btw. Not huge SW fans like myself. I think we are were just happy to go to the movies to take our minds off real life after a tough past week.

[Fancyarcher]

If that holds, that's a really good jump for TLJ.

[aabattery]

The more we celebrate that TLJ number, the more it will drop with actuals

I will wait until late tonight but trust me when I say I will be back to say I told you so. I’ve waited all week - and some people will be paying up for their shitty predictions. 

The Last Crow Eater

[DAJK]

Lmao @ downsizing and Father Figures.

 

Oof for Ferdinand too. I dawn it last night and honestly thought it was really good

How do you figure? $34M Saturday plus $17M Sunday is already $51M. So maybe they’re thinking $36M and $19M?
