How can a bunch of box office nerds consistently ignore the fact that 650 m for TLJ is a simalar drop from the previous movie as ESB and AOTC?

Lmao, you pretty much covered the most compelling aspects of their run in a few seconds.

 

Nice job for at least attempting to debate about any of them.  I applaud you for trying.

Also, I saw Jumanji last night. I fucking loved it. The action was fun, and it was HILARIOUS. Great acting from across the board, especially from Black and Karen. There was one scene that had the entire theater in hysterics.

Shape of Water might reach 20m

All I know is many of the people who insisted 700 was locked after opening weekend are now spinning like paid publicity for Disney.

what is there to debate?

 

WOM is mixed, Alt right attacking the films, the film has divided the fanbase.

 

Its not the same at all or anyway as compelling or interesting.

20M...total?  It’s currently at 13M off of a 4M weekend and this is all before Oscar noms.  I think it could reach 50M when all is said and done.

So you're saying we should be agnostic about TLJ's WOM?

[That One Girl]

Shape of Water is a better movie than Star Wars btw, so y’all need to shut your mouths before you talk down to it as if it’s unimportant.

It's guaranteed make at least $30M, most likely more if it picks up a ton of Oscar noms.

Yeah it was over predicted by virtually everyone.

 

That doesn't make the over predictions reasonable.

10 years ago I used to care what was nominated for Oscars, now most people dont give a shit.

Honestly one thing I don’t have a real firm grasp is how well a film is doing in limited release.  I mean if something is doing a 50k PTA in 4 theaters it’s outstanding.  But something in 200-300 I’m not sure how to analyze

On a box office numbers forum, I would say it’s pretty unimportant next to something like Star Wars. Reverse is true in the awards forum.
