Don't worry. He still has his music career.

 

 

Still a better singer than JLopez 

He should focus on that career instead. His bland acting clearly isn't working. 

[Cmasterclay]

My bold prediction is that In The Heights is gonna top WSS by like 50m domestic. I think it has big time breakout potential compared to the old fashioned ass West Side Story.

 

Loved the Goldfinch book, sad about all this.

 

Yay for Hustlers!

He was good in Baby Driver and TFioS.

Slightly off topic, but Moviepass suspended operations today, and, unless it finds a new purchaser, it's pretty much dead.

It had a great run!🍾

Well, it actually wasn't so much a run as a gobsmackingly gigantic opening 10 days. 

Over $100m every day through the 2nd Sunday:

That seems really optimistic for It Chapter 2. So I’ll just start expecting $35m. They were $7m off last week with the Friday. 

 

Excellent for Hustlers, obviously. 

I couldn't call a 62% drop "optimistic"

[The Horror of Lucas Films]

Wow, that would be a great drop for IT2. Anything below 60% is a win, imo.

Both hustlers and the Goldfinch are Getting exactly what they deserve and the box office. Quality prevails

Goldfinch is a total fiasco; got badly ripped by the critics. And, yeah, in the case of Goldfinch I think the reviews hurt it badly. The reviews don't matter for some kind of films, but for an Oscar Bait film like "The Goldfinch" they do.

Supposedly it's a crowdpleaser so that's strange.

Too soon to tell about Hustlers, but Lots of films are meant to be crowdpleasers, but fail.

[dxmatrixdt]

so are younger people supposed to get lured/peer-pressured to Hustlers and Knives Out because of the cheap titles?

 

 

any data on how many people read Stephen King's IT the last few years? IT is definitely taking a hit from easy draws.  is this the way people think?

So I know different scores mean different things for different genres. Is that B- not as bad as it looks? ‘Cause it doesn’t look great to me.
