Green Book | Limited November 16, Wide November 21 | TIFF Audience Award Winner | Peter Farrelly | Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali

[Curtis1986]

So this movie flopped in limited release this weekend and next weekend is tracking to do less than 8 million for 5 day total. I think it's safe to say that this will probably do 40 million total.

[Zakiyyah6]

Yeah, I'm sensing 35-40mil total. Don't know what the budget is so maybe that's good.

It seems more than a little awkward this is the second year in a row where the TIFF Audience Award winner has come under controversy for how it depicts race relations. Anything in contention for next year that seems like a possible TIFF premiere candidate to complete the trilogy?

Closest example might be Fair and Balanced if Jay Roach makes Megyn Kelly sympathetic

Even LA LA LAND faced a bit of scrutiny for all the Jazz stuff. So maybe even the third year.

Fuck this movie.

I can't believe I actually paid money to see a movie written by this dumb fuck

[Eric Prime]

Can’t wait for Nick Vallelonga’s son to write a movie about his dad’s life. Gonna win a globe no doubt

Are we 100% sure this guy didn't write Gotti also?

[Eric Prime]

Also, apparently this whole thing was instigated over at AwardsWatch. Legends

[filmlover]

A Star is Born and Roma must be thrilled that other movies have taken the spotlight this awards season (and so easily too) so that no one can paint them in a #problematic light.

[Eric Prime]

Also, Peter Farrelly is apparently a flasher. Eugh

Well Gaga has just addressed working with R Kelly and deleting “Do What U Want”. But she handles everything with such class.

I very much expected A Star is Born to get the most #problematic thinkpieces this season, so I’m pleasantly surprised that this and Bohemian Rhapsody are gaining so much traction and controversy

i don't even know what about a star is born could possibly be controversial? people whining that bradley cooper is too cynical about pop music is the worst i've seen it get.

I know one place (Vulture, I think) tried a it a few months ago that the movie had a problem with consent but it ended up going nowhere like the “mom from Lady Bird is a bad mother” thinkpieces that no one bought last year.

She was a bad mother, but her daughter was an asshole. 

 

I don’t see the problem with allowing an actress to play a bad mother, it wouldn’t be as interesting if everyone was perfect. 

 

(Btw I only caught Lady Bird recently and was really let down).

This film is getting a ton of flack online but it seems most audiences who watch this are liking it based on the online scores.

 

 Think it getting a ton of illegal streams as well.
