I’m tired that the best picture award always goes to movies which are low budget and indie-like. Oh Jesus you're still around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Infinity War is a masterwork, but I wouldn't say it's Best Picture material just yet. Same with Black Panther. Great films in their own right, but we need to wait and see how good the Oscar candidates will be. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts those films will tell more important stories in the long run.

Fanboy Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Infinity War has more chance of getting a razzie nom than a Best Picture nomination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 As I said in the Bernadette thread, Beale Street’s test screenings aren’t too positive. Annapurna won’t give much focus to it when they have Cheney, Destroyer, and Sisters Brothers. Hell, it could get delayed to 2019 if the pacing issues are really bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Annapurna is still a very new studio testing the waters. Heck, it took almost three years for A24 to finally get recognition when three of their movies were nominated for awards (and all of them took home something) before having a Best Picture winner in their fourth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Focus just moved Boy Erased to early November and On the Basis of Sex to Christmas Day. Clearly they're very confident in the former to bump it up to that November slot that's worked out so well for them in the past, but jury is out on the latter. Original release date had it opening the week of midterms, which would've been perfect timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even more apparent when seeing that On The Basis of Sex is a wide release (going up against Mary Poppins Returns, no less). I mean, I currently predict that All The Money in the World numbers might be what it's able to do, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that makes a little more sense to me. I can get fooled by mistakes on Box Office Mojo's release schedule quite a bit. I think a limited release would be the right thing for them to do.

Mary has test screened. Reactions are good, but it's not an undeniable nominee let alone winner. IMO it's going to be more of a tech player; I'm not predicting anything above the line right now Edited July 3, 2018 by WrathOfHan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
