Seeing how this thread has gone (hilariously) off topic, has anyone seen Netflix's THE CROWN? I just started second season. I never thought I would like it this much, especially since it is the definition of a slow burner.

The acting is strong (except for two glaring exceptions in one episode) but they make the Queen so passive and reactive and friendless, when she really wasn't like that in real life. Claire Foy is brilliant in the role, though, so I just have to think of it as lavish fanfiction by someone who would have rather made a show about Prince Philip (but wouldn't have gotten the funding that way).

 

Wow at The Greatest Showman, and it's not stopping after this weekend...what's the last movie that opened in 3,000 let alone 2,000 theaters to get a 10x multiplier?

This! The first season, as much as I like it, is basically: Elizabeth promises or plans to do something; Elizabeth is convinced to not do that thing.

2017 was the first year no Marvel film made the top 3 for the year since 2011.

In 2000 theaters it was Miss Congeniality in 2000 it opened on the 22th December (a Friday!). I think no movie opening in over 3000 theaters ever did that, the closest I guess is Avatar.

Nice.

 

[Webslinger]

Late 2000/early 2001 looks insane these days. Cast Away, What Women Want, and Miss Congeniality all over-performed, Save the Last Dance demolished even the rosiest of expectations, The Emperor's New Groove quietly made up for a weak opening by chugging to nearly $90 million, Hannibal had the third biggest opening weekend at the time of its release (in freaking February!), Chocolat made over $70 million while flying pretty low on the radar, and to top it all off, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Traffic - a foreign-language film and a long, dark ensemble drama about the war on drugs - made over $120 million apiece.

I went looking for it, and the most recent ocurrance of a 2000+ theater opener having a 10x multiplier was Rumor Has It, in 2005 (although, that topped out at 43M DOM). The Sixth Sense, almost 20 years ago, was the 2nd most recent, and Titanic was the 3rd most recent.

 

Crazy stuff.

 

EDIT: Actually, Mouse Hunt ties with Titanic for 4th most recent, as both did 10x their openings and were released on the same day. Miss Congeniality is the real 2nd most recent, however, more so than TSS.

Only seen the first season, one of the impressive tv production ever imo, there is some phone call scene that probably costed more to make than some small movies.

 

Really loved it.

First season cost 170M. 2nd season cost 200M. So yeah, it better look expensive

 

They deny these numbers at say it is 100M per season, tho.

[Jandrew]

I haven't been keeping up with numbers really, outside of Jumanji's, but that $12.7 for Insidious looks really good. That's higher than 3. The franchise is still chugging even though nobody is left and I found marketing a little muted.

[WrathOfHan]

Forecasting some other stuff with BOP's estimates:

 

Showman:

Remainder of this week: 3.8M (81M Total)

Jan 12: 9.4M (4.8M weekdays, 95.2M Total)

Jan 19: 6.3M (2.6M weekdays, 104.1M Total)

Jan 26: 5.8M (2.2M weekdays, 112.1M Total)

Feb 2: 4.8M (1.6M weekdays, 118.5M Total)

Feb 9: 2.8M (1M weekdays, 122.3M Total)

Feb 16: 1.5M (800k weekdays, 124.6M Total)

Final Total: 128M (9.55x from 5 day/14.55x from 3 day)

 

Depending how it holds after MLK, this may hit 130M!

 

Darkest Hour:

Remainder of this week: 2.7M (30.7M Total)

Jan 12: 5.7M (3M weekdays, 39.4M Total)

Jan 19: 4.3M (1.7M weekdays, 45.4M Total)

Jan 26: 3.3M (1.3M weekdays, 50M Total)

Feb 2: 2.4M (700k weekdays, 53.1M Total)

Feb 9: 1.2M (700k weekdays, 55M Total)

Final Total: 62M

 

I expect a re-expansion in March before the Oscars air when Oldman inevitably wins Actor.

[Webslinger]

I'm surprised that The Greatest Showman has caught on so strongly. I wonder how high that opening could have gone if Fox had known what a crowd-pleaser they had on their hands and marketed it as such.

Good point ... and on the other side, it's the first year Marvel has three 300M+ dom grossers. Seems like their average dom bo is increasing.

IMO, she's better than both of them.  Hawkins performance is wildly over rated imo and McDormand is terrific but Chastain is as well.  I loved Robbie's performance in I, Tonya as well.  I would love to see Chastain or Robbie win it this year.

 

Agreed. Call me ignorant but I'm one of those people who believes silent performances to be far easier. That may be unfair but that's how I feel. So Hawkins, while good, doesn't cut it for me. McDormand is great but she's won already and I don't need her to be a two-time winner. And in my opinion Ronan shouldn't be nominated.

 

Chastain and Robbie gave the two best female performances this year. 

[WrathOfHan]

I hope Allison Janney is as good as everyone says she is in I, Tonya, because Supporting Actress is really fucking weak this year. Laurie Metcalf would be such a "whatever" winner.

[Taruseth]

I just noticed, that if Jumanji holds really well the next weekend, because TLJ etc. will lose more screens, then a 10x is barely possible: There for it needs $361,693,280:

Laurie Metcalf is one of the most underrated actresses working today. It would be astounding if Aunt Jackie won an Oscar.
