This is a long shot, but I can see a surprise 100M gross for this in an "everything goes right" situation. Spielberg's the biggest name to come from this "directors making movies about their childhood" trend and I think "how the Jaws/E.T. guy got his start" is a compelling hook for casual audiences and rake in nostalgia money. Of course I'm not predicting that right now, and will likely depend on a Best Picture win, but I think there's more potential than we might think.

Death on the Nile did 45M and wasn't great...

Where the Crawdads Sing wasn't great either and has managed $86 million so far.

I think theatrical movies will be dead as a serous art form n a couple of years. Theatrical movies will survice, but as sort of a  circus, where only the visual matter. I think this will be a huge tragedy, but the real tragdy is a whole generatin of kids will not know any better, that at one tme you could make a sucessful movie that did not depend on fancy SFX or spectacle to make money.

No doubt I will be called the old man yelling at crowds for saying this, but I will accpet that insult in this case.

Even more ecstatic to hear people say it's very funny. A lot of glowing reviews out there.

Williams is going to pull a sweep, I can feel it. Fifth time's the charm!

[Krissykins]

Just seen the trailer (first time I’ve seen anything for this, didn’t realise it was at TIFF either), it looks gorgeous, if a little cheesy/melodramatic, but it could just be the music. 
 

Michelle Williams always delivers.

Is this movie about Spielberg or his mom? She's in too many scenes and i don't like Michelle williams acting

[Eric Atreides]

I'm crying 😭 😭 😭

 

Also it is terrifying to see Seth Rogen without a beard.

[Joel M]

Not thrilled with the trailer. It feels a lot like many late era Spielberg films that are extremely well crafted but not that exciting.

 

Michelle Williams looks baity enough to sweep though.

This will be the gold standard of these autobiographical movies.
