I was so bored during TLJ but Oscar being pretty and Driver being excellent kept me from slipping into a coma lol I think even people who hate the new SW have to admit Driver's performance is the best thing there

Phoenix could win the Oscar. Box office of Joker will

help. Malek wouldn’t have won last year if Bohemian Rhapsody hadn’t been a breakout

At the specialty box office, writer-director Trey Edward Shults' critically acclaimed Waves is on course for a solid opening screen average of $37,000-plus as it opens in New  York and Los Angeles. The A24 drama about a South Florida family stars Kelvin Harrison Jr., Sterling K. Brown, Lucas Hedges, Taylor Russell, Alexa Demie and Renée Elise Goldsberry.

This is true and also a bit of a problem because it has a lopsided effect on the movies. When your MVP isn't on the screen, movie suffers. It's not MVP's fault but director's for he/she didn't find the way to bring that game from the rest (could be writing issues, could be acting issues, could be both).

TLJ is legit boring (not going into whether it's good or bad, just that it's boring) and so was Looper. That's why I don't trust critics that Knives Out is somehow only fun fun fun. They said so about the other two. Fool me once.

The Last Jedi haters are so boring. The lovers who think that it is a perfect movie are as well but the haters a little more so.

God forbid someone comments that they were bored during a movie. Oh, the humanity.

[Valonqar]

it's an average movie, neither worth of so much hate nor so much defense. And it was boring af and that's the reason for poor holds. Not Jake.

Anyway... I'm glad that Ford vs Ferrari did solid numbers. Feels like it's one of those acclaimed adult movie A Star is Born situation where it's going to have long legs.

I actually really liked Looper, but I agree here, I don't trust critic reviews to Knives Out too because they love anything Johnson makes to the point of being clearly biased, that TLJ score is a joke, and I don't even hate it and have no interest in SW. And some points they were making in their reviews make me even more concerned if it's actually good. But hopefully it is, I love the cast, but trailers looked forced and "in your face" to me.

Ohh, you know what Charlie’s Angels reminds me of? Shaft. It’s actually spooky.

 

70s franchise, 2000 revival, 2019 third attempt with lukewarm marketing. Shaft was forecasted around 20M and came in at 9 for OW.

[Hatebox]

Was DiCaptrio award-worthy in OUATIH? I've yet to see the film but I don't recall reviews going out of their way to rave about him.

I don't know if a film can be smug but Knives Out sure looks smug to me lol But the last time Craig had this much fun, in Logan Lucky, it ended being a very good movie
