Then if that was directed to you it makes you both rude.

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).

Oscar BP nom guaranteed, Adapted Svreenplay and Dirsctor are also very good bets.

Why not? It's one of the 5 that's been practically "locked" for a BP nom since October (along with Argo, Les Mis, Lincoln, and ZDT).

So is 37M with midnight or not ?Confused ...

[Shawn Robbins]

So I guess my $50 opening day is toast.#welandedonthemoon

[iceroll]

Definitely with midnights. 50m Friday would be incredible (and impossible)

Then Nikki's 96M weekend doesnt make any sense.

I was with you on this from day 1 Shawn. It's disappointing but it is what it is.

My policy is pretty clear: tit for tat.Anyway, even if I was rude, I wasn't wrong. Those projections really sucked.

Lol, I'll go down with ya on that one. Although I only raised my OW prediction to the $120-130m range these past few weeks when hype got the best of me. Before that I had figured 100 would be the ceiling in December. Guess I shoulda stuck with that. December is still December and movies just can't open to mammoth numbers.

I'm curious to see where it goes considering its still unique position. But history is definitely against us.

Hype?

Yeah, it'll still be interesting to see where this goes from here

Yeah, this is one where my brain and gut stopped agreeing about a week ago. I listened to the wrong one.

[MovieMan89]

Hype?

Yeah, you know that thing 2 of the 8 Potter films had?

[kayumanggi]

No Best Picture nominee has ever lost in that category.

Oh really. I'm not sure if LIFE OF PI will be nominated for BP.

[FishMB]

Along those lines, yes

[Noctis]

Yeah, you know that thing 2 of the 8 Potter films had?

Oh, right, yes, the thing that made the Potter films sell around 50% more tickets on average than TH1 on their weekends. Yeah, got it!

The Academy will nominate Life of Pi every year for the next 100 years before they ever nominate The Hobbit.
