Teens who weren't allowed to go in without an adult were able to watch it.

It’s rated R though

650k previews for Onward. Any good comparisons?

Lego Movie 2 had advance screenings in 550 theaters, and did about 600K, on the way to 1.5M previews. I think Onward going above Lego in less theaters (470) is pretty solid, especially since this doesn't really have an established audience apart from the Pixar brand, though that doesn't necessarily indicate breakout or instant hit

First off, I am so happy for Elizabeth Moss. She should have been an industry royalty by now but rather late than never I guess... after the excellent start of Invisible Man ( which I though would flop a couple months back) I hope Hollywood will give her the role she deserves.

 

Anyway, I am thinking of creating a club of no movie in 2020 over 1B WW but I am not sure if it already exists...anyone has an idea?

First weekend outside top 10 for jumanji. Would need 3x multi to finish above 320m.

It's an option here

When you suddenly see all these posts praising Moss *now* even though she just had the film role of a lifetime last year and none of these same people noticed, because the systems of distribution of quality films are in fact broken and there's a pervasive mindset that if it's not #1 at the box office, it isn't interesting or valuable

It isn’t as if Elisabeth Moss has been lacking good roles. The Handmaid’s Tale alone is one of the best female and showy roles out there right now

Queen. Pretty sure no one predicted that she would end up having the best career of Mad Men's ensemble after the show ended.

I've seen people conflate boxoffice with quality way too many times (mostly on r/boxoffice) and its not just dumb but also pretty insulting to the people who worked on the film. I hope when the modern day studio system collapses (which I think is happening soon), that this "pervasive mindset" dies along with it.

Poor Vincent Kartheiser. Instantly reduced to being the sixth-billed cast member in various kinds of dreck after playing the best character on that show. The true invisible man.

Does anyone know if Moss' role in Taika's next movie with Michael Fassbender is a major role like ScarJo's in Jojo Rabbit or a small one? She's coming for an Oscar next!

[Maggie]

Really? I'm surprised people say they didn't predict Moss' success after Mad Men. I watched a couple of seasons and she was the standout. Jon Hamm is doing ok for his talent too.

[CoolioD1]

i actually think her getting the best post-mad men stuff makes sense and was a pretty easy call. she was already serving in ARP movies before the show had ended. and as much as i like jon hamm the man is a textbook "tv star with flop film career" case.
