Save for Abigail Breslin. Man, that was a child star I was really rooting for, and she didn't really turn into as good of an actress as I thought she would. Kind of disappointing.

Dejana October 27, 2019 Author Share October 27, 2019 (edited) Box Office Mojo has undergone a complete redesign to be fully integrated with parent site IMDb (which is owned by Amazon), putting several features behind the IMDbPro paywall and outright eliminating others. Box office journalists and creatives in the industry have thoughts about this: BOM was the most thorough and easiest to use box office site for US and worldwide numbers, but there are others: The Numbers, Box Office Pro, and Box Office Guru, for starters. Anyway, as for this weekend, the #1 movie might change with the actual figures tomorrow afternoon. Worldwide, Joker becomes the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time.

Dejana October 28, 2019 Author Share October 28, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, xaxat said: I definitely didn't see that coming. Does anyone know where that ranks on DC Universe films? Right now, Joker's global total is third among DCEU movies, after Aquaman and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, though I'm not sure if it's considered part of this recent DC Extended Universe or not. The press before the release seemed to indicate it wasn't going to be tied to the other movies, but that could change with future DC films. Among all DC Comics movies, the top Nolan movies push Joker down to fifth worldwide ATM. * 56 minutes ago, methodwriter85 said: The potential would-be backers who turned Joker down must be kicking themselves. ‘Joker’ Set To Bank Near Half-Billion In Profit, On Par With ‘Avengers: Infinity War’: The Breakdown (Deadline): Quote Warners reduced its risk on the movie with Village Roadshow at 25%, and Bron Studios at 25%. The Hollywood Reporter article about Jared Leto allegedly trying to stop WB from making a spin-off without him also had this interesting tidbit: Quote Ironically, Warners thought the Phillips project would be a small movie and, nervous about its dark tone, greenlit the pic reluctantly, with a small budget that some at the studio hoped would discourage Phillips from making it. I wonder what (if any) movie WB was hoping he would make instead? Phillips has already struck it rich with the Hangover movies, where the general consensus even among fans is that the second and third installments didn't improve upon the story, so IMO it might make him reluctant to agree to a Joker sequel. It's gotten scathing reviews but also won the Golden Lion at Venice, which no one would have predicted for any Todd Phillips movie, ever, and a sequel is unlikely to repeat the level of controversy and acclaim. Joaquin turned down an MCU role (Dr Strange) because he didn't want to be tied to a movie universe and he's a bit different than your average star, more of a serious ac-tor about the craft. I can see him wanting to work with Phillips again but not necessarily another Joker movie. Edited October 28, 2019 by Dejana 1 Link to comment
methodwriter85 October 28, 2019 Share October 28, 2019 I mean, they've both said that the Joker is a one-off. If it weren't an oddball like Joaquin Phoenix, I'd think they'd be working on a sequel as we speak, but Joaquin Phoenix doesn't seem like he wants to be tied to a franchise. 1 Link to comment

xaxat November 11, 2019 Share November 11, 2019 (edited) Doctor Sleep seemed like an odd project. It was marketed as a sequel, but a lot of the ticket buying market is probably too young to have a connection to the original. As for those who do know The Shining, I suspect a lot of them were like me, "I know Kubrick, and you're no Kubrick." Midway, sigh. . . It was one of the most important naval battles in history (not just WWII), and instead of a thoughtful examination of it like Nolan's Dunkirk, we get a movie directed by the guy who gave us Independence Day (which I like, but it's not exactly subtle.)

After seeing First Man, I understand releasing it during awards season rather than counting on it being a big crowdpleaser. The flag controversy was ridiculous, but it's not a "rah rah" space movie, either. Awards buzz can make people more receptive to bleak/downer movies, but the reviews were good not great, so it just wasn't enough.

Dejana November 17, 2019 Author Share November 17, 2019 Ford v Ferrari opens solidly while Charlie's Angels doesn't, as the Charlie's Angels (2000) opened to $40 million.

AimingforYoko November 17, 2019 Share November 17, 2019 As I said in that movie's thread, I was a little surprised at how well Ford v Ferrari did. Racing movies aren't usually box office gold (just ask Steve McQueen) and this wasn't even NASCAR like Days of Thunder. I'm sure the big stars helped. Just like the lack thereof hurt this latest Charlie's Angels. Ah well, it matters naught. Struggling media empire Disney has a little film called Frozen 2 coming out next week and that will obliterate everything in its path. Although Mr. Rogers may have a little something to say. 3 Link to comment

In many other markets, Ford v Ferrari is called Le Mans '66, which would not have worked as well with US audiences. The Numbers has a looser definition of "auto racing movie" than what I had imagined; animation is really propping up the stats: https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/keywords/Auto-Racing 1 1 Link to comment

proserpina65 November 18, 2019 Share November 18, 2019 It looks like the chance Focus took on distributing Harriet paid off, at least modestly. It's sad that it WAS a chance, but maybe Harriet's success will make the next chance less of one, if that makes any sense. 1 Link to comment

Not shocked that it flopped, but I'm surprised at how much it flopped. Does anybody else feel it flopped because it was seriously miscast? I mean, Kristen Stewart? Personally, I have never liked her as an actress, & from interviews, didn't really like her as a person either. In all the versions of Charlie's Angels, there was a certain amount of fun. Does anybody associate Kristen Stewart with the word fun? Also, it has a mediocre theme song. After I posted the above, I was watching E! Daily Pop & they talked about the movie not doing well & they also said the casting was the problem. They talked a bit about other actresses they would have liked to see & Margot Robbie & Awkwafina both came up & I thought, YES, that would have been great. I just can't understand how anybody thought Kristen Stewart should have not only been cast, but she should be the funny one. Edited November 20, 2019 by GaT Added more info 5 Link to comment

Kristen Stewart REALLY tried to be funny, and some of the jokes did land, but a lot of them didn't, judging by the reaction of the theater I was at when I saw this showing. I agree that it was a mistake to cast her as the comic relief. She should've been the stuck-in-the-mud one against an actually funny person. Margot Robbie and Awkwafina would've been great. 2 Link to comment

AshleyN December 4, 2019 Share December 4, 2019 Wow, Knives Out made back it's budget it the first week. That's awesome! I saw the movie and liked it a lot, but even if I hadn't I'm always rooting for these types of mid-budget original films to do well. Between this and the solid numbers the Murder on the Orient Express remake did a couple of years ago, I wonder if we might see a mini-revival of the "murder mystery with a starry cast" genre. 9 Link to comment

The studio probably figured there was no hope for the Lego Movie ripoff regardless and redirected whatever advertising $$$ they would have spent for it to JLo's Oscar push for Hustlers. * More about Disney's $10 billion year.

Shocker, it was the first one! I'm not too surprised it flopped in the U.S. I'm still pissed that I sat my way through Their Finest and was Spoiler rewarded with Sam Claflin dying yet again. There's just too much crap in the world for me to want to watch a romantic comedy where Spoiler the leading man was dead all along. That's just bullshit. I mean, if you package something as a romantic drama, that's one thing. But they were positioning this as a Love Actually, and Spoiler I think the people who saw that and didn't realize what they were signing up for might've have been pissed.

Darlin December 22, 2019 Share December 22, 2019 Yikes at CATS! Not surprised at the opening US numbers for Rise of Skywalker. I had a feeling poor word-of-mouth was going to result in lower numbers than what was originally predicted ($190 million), though some media outlets are saying ROS' numbers were impacted by the final weekend for Christmas shopping.

They really love campy musicals in the UK (Mamma Mia outgrossed most of the Harry Potter movies and all of the LotRs there). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_the_United_Kingdom And there are other markets that take to Western musicals in a big way, like South Korea. Perhaps the overseas critics will only see the version with "improved visual effects" and that'll make all the difference. 😄 * 4 hours ago, Darlin said: Yikes at CATS!

The calendar configuration is a little different this year compared to 2015 and 2017, so it isn't as long of a wait, pushing a viewing to Christmas week vs. rushing out opening weekend.

kiddo82 December 24, 2019 Share December 24, 2019 The anarchist in me was hoping Cats! would get this morbid curiosity boost in its numbers. People turning out just to see how awful/weird it is. I haven't seen it yet but I'm looking forward to it for just that reason. 3 1 Link to comment

Part of me was morbidly curious and might want to go on Christmas just for a laugh, but my husband loathes musicals, and this is a movie best experienced in a group. 1 Link to comment

Simon Boccanegra December 25, 2019 Share December 25, 2019 When reviewers such as Ty Burr in the Boston Globe are reporting stray giggles that swell into uproarious, deafening laughter, at a scene that isn't supposed to be funny, it's all but guaranteed the movie will develop a "So bad it's good" following. But usually that doesn't happen in time to help a movie's first-run grosses. It happens over time, as more people rent/stream the movie for home viewing or catch it on television. I originally had no interest in Cats, but when I saw it was pulling a score in the teens on Rotten Tomatoes, and I started reading the pans, I did think, "I must see this!" Just not any time soon. 1 Link to comment
Dejana December 29, 2019 Author Share December 29, 2019 (edited) The Rise of Skywalker does have a better second week drop than The Last Jedi (-67%), but the latter had Christmas Eve in its weekend, a comparatively bad day for the box office (early theater closures + people occupied with other things). Usually, the third installment in a Star Wars trilogy rises from the second movie in popularity while falling short of the first, but TRoS might break the pattern. Disney won't lose money on this one, but attendance has fallen off dramatically from The Force Awakens, domestically ($936 million) and in total ($2 billion). Little Women has the best opener of this week's new movies, though 1917 showed a strong start in limited release.
