Grinch is winning domestic and overseas though.

 

The Grinch isn't likely to go much over $200 million OS by the end of its run. Ralph 2 looks like it will finish with over $300 million OS (still many major markets left to open yet), which would allow it to beat Grinch WW.

The Favourite has lower PTA than The Theory of Everything at this point after a roaring start. Welp. Don’t think it can break out big enough

Theory of Everything 4th weekend was Thanksgiving.

At 270-280 dom, Grinch's Dom theatrical revenue will be 150-155. Should cover it's prod budget and big chunk of marketing. Then entire OS to consider (which is not China heavy) and then all of non-theatrical revenue to follow.

That director's movies are very off-putting. I wouldn't be surprised if The Favourite just completely collapsed after going into wide release.

Yeah, it going from potential Oscar-darling to dropping off the face of the Earth was unusually abrupt. The WoM I've heard is almost Mother!-grade "WTF?!?!" which is *really* not what I was expecting.

Generally speaking, I'd agree, but Mortal Engines is not the hill to die on.

 

I went into it both wanting to like it and with low expectations, and still ended up disappointed. Visuals and world-building are really good, but the characters and plot are just dire.

They did indeed. For me, the characters and dialogue were even worse than expected and I wasn't expecting much.

 

Good life rule is that expectations can never be low enough.

Bohemian Rhapsody 's run is a joy to follow.

 

it seems the movie is having an insane carreer in South Korea.

 

Wonder if another musician's biopic will ever reach those heights again. 

 

But Queen s music suits cinema so well and Freddie s style of singing is so epic.

 

Talk about timeless music.

And don't forget crazy run of BP in Japan.

SK and Japan like music film, just look at Frozen!

I assume a proper Michael Jackson biopic could do it.

They'd never get a Michael Jackson biopic off the ground, there's too many things in his life that his estate and the Jackson family would rather not be said.
