CoS on that list immediately disqualifies its effectiveness.

Nope, just disqualifies Potter's merit in general.

It will have a big increase today minus midnights. I dunno about "massive", but a good 20%+ one for sure.

10% max. I expect it to stay flat.

[Noctis]

Is that like being the top cockroach on the garbage heap?

You could say that.

That darn CoS! The film that beat TTT overseas and will sell so many more tickets worldwide than TH1!Ugh, damn you, Potter! DAMN YOU!

By the way, I think a VFX win is a lock. No? It probably could be the only Oscar it would win.

Btw, I just checked the parallel universe and Nikki means $36m NOT including midnights. So over there it's a massive hit.

No kidding ... ?

[Sims]

LOL Cinderella Man?! Drumline?!

37M OD"A" CSNot bad actually ...

"A" CS bodes well for the legs. Hopefully, it reaches 350M/1B WW. I'll more then satisfied with it, if that happens.

Dunno about that. I think Pi is the favorite right now. And I can't say it wouldn't deserve it.

It's Life of Pi's for sure.

No Best Picture nominee has ever lost in that category.

[MovieMan89]

No Best Picture nominee has ever lost in that category.

That's an interesting bit of trivia I did not know! Yeah, Pi definitely has it then.

That's great for SF.

[MovieMan89]

96m is exactly where it should land with $37m OD. Oh what a missssserable failure!!!!

[Noctis]

$115m...$105m...$100m+...$96m...steady and gradual decline.

[Fake]

Hope Rth posts something soon.... Nikki isn't reliable... the number could very well go up to 40m.

[rockNrollaDIM]

FLOP!!!Bombs away!

LOL not even close. 80M won't even be certain.

That's an interesting bit of trivia I did not know! Yeah, Pi definitely has it then.

Well while Pi received a gg bp nom, I'm not convinced yet it'll def get an Oscar bp nom. But regardless I think Pi is sfx front runner (though I think Prometheus and TH could give it a run for its money or win outright).
