It has to be. Entertainment Studios has aired over 3,800 ads for it  Thieves and 12 Strong only have 1,450 and 1,260 respectively

They must be crazy, dumping all this add money in for it. The thing bombed in limited release, why the fuck would they want to go this wide

[CoolioD1]

damn was looking forward to the liam neeson/jaume collet-serra collab where he was fighting on a cruise or in an uber pool or something.

Oh shit, I thought nominations were on Tuesday  Forget everything I said; they'll be expanding fine at the end of the month  

For some reason I thought it was February, it’s actually Jan 23, yeah they’ll be fine.

While we’re talking about Oscar movies, post your Oscar nom predictions for the contest before Jan 23 for a chance to win a month of gold membership!

I honestly haven't seen a single ad for it lmao. Are we sure Entertainment Studios isn't spewing alternative facts?

It's airing a lot of ads on Discovery and History. Even Fox News is getting a fair amount of airings. My dad wants to see it because of all these ads, but I know he'd hate the pacing

We still need your crowd report for that movie, Han. See it now!

What about that "brief war violence" in the MPAA description?

So brief (in the opening of the film) that I forgot all about it. 

[DAJK]

Good, Atomic Blonde was shit

I thought about seeing it today, but the showings were pretty crowded  Glad I got Molly's Game out of the way because it's probably leaving next week (my show only had 6 people and the following showing only had about 15-20).

Audience Scores on RT:

 

The Post - 65%

 

Proudy Mary - 58% ( it was at 71% some hours ago )

 

The Commuter - 52% ( it started at 58% some hours ago )

 

Insidious 4 - 54%

 

Ferdinand - 48%

 

Star Wars The Last Jedi - 49%  

 

 

Jumanji and The Greatest Showman's audience scores are still at 90%.

[Jonwo]

I'm assuming Darkest Hour will outgross The Theory of Everything which was Focus and Working Title's last Oscar winner. Weird that Focus hasn't had a $100m grosser unless we count Fifty Shades which isn't included in Mojo's list of Focus' highest grossing film

Holy shit, The Commuter dropped 3% in less than an hour  

[DAJK]

Seeing both Paddington and Commuter tonight, although I wish I were starting with Commuter so that it would end on the higher note, but the showtimes just don't work out

The RT audience score is probably accurate. The movie is all talk, and that's always going to alienate some people. 

 

This is re: The Post. 

 

If it wasn't influenced by trolls, then tell me, why the IMDB-Score is constantly going up after all those zero-pointers were given early?

With few people voting, it's easier to drop faster, I guess.  Proud Mary is dropping fast too.

 

 

 

 

[La Binoche]

I still think The Post will overperform and do $25M+ for the 4 days, maybe even $30M+.

Being universal specialty division with smaller release budget that never got 3,500+ theater for a release  it is not that strange. Sony classic has only one 100m grosser and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was quite the exception and for all is long success history, Searchlight has only 3 of those (Juno, Slumdog, Black Swan).

 

Even though 50 shades was produced by them, maybe it was Universal main branch that made the distribution in the USA ?:

Fifty Shades was a Universal release.

 

I wonder if anything's ever gonna beat Brokeback Mountain's $83M total for their highest-grossing movie, though.

I'm starting to want Friday estimates... even if they're just rough Deadline projections
