 Aquaman spends its fourth weekend at #1. Wow, impressive. I'm still not certain if A Dog's Way Home is in the same Dog-verse as A Dog's Purpose or not. There's also something called A Dog's Journey coming in May. It's hard to say how much Kevin Hart's recent controversies eclipsed the promotion of The Upside, but I don't really hear anyone talking about the movie itself at all. The movie is a remake of the hugely popular The Intouchables. Keanu Reeves outside of John Wick has struggled, so Replicas likely won't make the top 10. Expanding wide after an impressive run in limited is On the Basis of Sex. If this had been gone, it seems like it would really be breaking out big time. Still, this is an impressive run for Focus.

ETA:

If Beale Street Could Talk also expands wide, in over a thousand theaters.

Welp, that was an ending. So much right, yet so much wrong. Can't believe A Star Is Born only won one award. But really: they went with the two biggest backlash-friendly films of the season as their winners. I don't think I've been so angry since Crash won Picture at the Oscars. I literally yelled ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? when Nicole announced Bohemian as the winner. AND GOD DAMN IT NOW I HAVE TO ASSOCIATE MY NICOLE WITH THIS BULLSHIT!??!?!

So a film won Picture and Actor and the director wasn't thanked at all? Hmm.

12/25 (+6 alts)

Andy and Sandra were a bit rocky during the monologue, but their bits during the show were great. FLU SHOT! Amy and Maya, of course, were wonderful, too.

And random thoughts:
+Emma Stone yelling "I'm sorry!" off screen at the Aloha joke was probably the funniest part of the night that most people missed.
+I don't like the new design of the statue. It looks cheap, and yet it's probably twice as expensive.
+Crazy Amy Pascal during Spider-Man win - she seems so fun.
+The ladies of The Favourite should host the Oscars.
+Olivia Colman is a god damn delight.
+Gaga makes Jenna Maroney's LIVING THEATRICALLY her life mission. Wear a smaller dress next time.
+Jamie Lee Curtis and Ben Stiller were an inspired pairing. AND YES MENTION THAT HUGE HALLOWEEN OPENING!
+Surprise presenter Taylor Swift! Cats is coming next year! She looked good, and I forgot her boyfriend would be there.
+I loved Patricia Clarkson hugging so many people on her way to the podium. It was like "Oh, hey, I worked with you!"
+Linda Cardellini had the best seat in the house and people kept thanking her. Is she dating Bill Murray, though?
+JEFF BRIDGES!!!!
+CAROL BURNETT!!!!
+Chris Pine is hot, but I wanted Pfeiffer to give Jeff the award.
+Regina's speech was sooo good. Her son was so sweet on the red carpet. Mama raised a good son!
+Mahershala is a classy guy, but I get the feeling he wishes he didn't do Green Book.
+Christian Bale was kinda drunk and I'm here for it. Drunk Christian Bale can host the Oscars. He mentioned playing Mitch McConnell next and thanked Satan. Here for this.
+Both of Alfonso's wins - it felt like forever until he got to the stage. Took me forever to figure out Julianne Moore at his table and what they worked on. Also, why did Richard Madden kiss Julianne before his date? Richard is yummy.
+Fosse Verdon ad! I didn't even know it was into filming that much?
+Why did they not mention Hathaway being a Golden Globe winner but did her co-presenter Jessica Chastain? Wut.
+Glenn Close got 2 standing O's. Yup, I think the Oscar is hers. Gaga wins Song, Glenn wins Actress. I think this was clear as day for most of the season, but I just bought into the hype recently. Stupid me.
+Dick Van Dyke and Emily Blunt get a Standing O'. It was equal. Let me live in my dream world.
+Kind of a disappointing night as far as new GIFs are concerned.

Here's one and it's appropriate...

These are announced on Monday.

Original: Eighth Grade - Green Book - A Quiet Place - Roma - Vice
alt: First Reformed
(The Favourite isn't eligible.)

Adapted: Black Panther - Blackkklansman - Can You Ever Forgive Me - If Beale Street Could Talk - A Star Is Born

I originally went with Leave No Trace as the alt, but it, like First Reformed, hasn't done well with the industry nominations.

If Bohemian Rhapsody show up here, ugh...

Globe Dix

This is a pretty crazy field.

My previous scores:
2018: 19/25 (+3 alts)
2017: 12/25 (+6 alts)
2016: 8/25 (+4 alts) LOL! That year was crazy.
2015: 11/25 (+8 alts)

I guess I'll probably be closer to the latter 3 than 2018.

TV!

Supporting Actress: Borstein - Clarkson - Cruz - Newton - Strahovski
WILL WIN: Penelope Cruz - Assassination of Gianni Versace
Because she's never won one of these.
Alt: I'm going with Clarkson, though Borstein could easily get it.

Supporting Actor: Arkin - Culkin - Ramirez - Whishaw - Winkler
WILL WIN: Henry Winkler - Barry
Alt: Edgar Ramirez

Actress - Limited Series: Adams - Arquette - Britton - Dern - King
WILL WIN: Amy Adams - Sharp Objects
Alt: Patricia Arquette, though King could win this round and Adams win the other.

Actor - Limited Series: Banderas - Bruhl - Criss - Cumberbatch - Grant
WILL WIN: Darren Criss - Assassination of Gianni Versace
Alt: Hugh Grant

Actress - Comedy/Musical: Bell - Bergen - Brie - Brosnahan - Messing
WILL WIN: Rachel Brosnahan - The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Alt: Kristen Bell, though Brie probably has a decent chance.

Actor - Comedy/Musical: Baron Cohen - Carrey - Douglas - Glover - Hader
WILL WIN: Bill Hader - Barry
Alt: Jim Carrey

Actress - Drama: Balfe - Moss - Oh - Roberts - Russell
WILL WIN: Sandra Oh - Killing Eve
Alt: Julia Roberts, but I think the hostess with the mostest should easily take this

Actor - Drama: Bateman - James - Madden - Porter - Rhys
WILL WIN: Stephan James - Homecoming
Alt: Billy Porter. But really anyone could win. This is a crapshoot.

Limited Series: Alienist - Gianni Versace - Escape at Dannemora - Sharp Objects - Very English Scandal
WILL WIN: Assassination of Gianni Versace
Alt: Sharp Objects

Series - Comedy/Musica: Barry - Good Place - Kidding - Kominsky - Mrs. Maisel
WILL WIN: Barry
Alt: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but I think only Good Place has no shot.

Series - Drama: Americans - Bodyguard - Homecoming - Killing Eve - Pose
WILL WIN: Homecoming
Alt: Pose, but any of them could win.

MOVIES!

Foreign Film: Capernaum - Girl - Never Look Away - Roma - Shoplifters
WILL WIN: Roma
Alt: Shoplifters, but really no alt.

Animated Feature: Incredibles 2 - Isle of Dogs - Mirai - Ralph Breaks the Internet - Spider-Verse
WILL WIN: The Incredibles 2
Alt: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. I think this race is probably pretty close, but it depends on how late Spider-Man's buzz peaked.

Original Song: "All the Stars" "Revelation" "Girl in the Movies" "Requiem For A Private War" "Shallow"
WILL WIN: "Shallow" - A Star Is Born
Alt: The Dolly Parton jam, but the Kendrick Lamar can't be counted out totally. This category has seen some surprises many times before.

Original Score: Black Panther - First Man - Isle of Dogs - Mary Poppins Returns - A Quiet Place
WILL WIN: Mary Poppins Returns
Alt: First Man

Supporting Actress: Adams - Foy - King - Stone - Weisz
WILL WIN: Regina King - If Beale Street Could Talk
Alt: Amy Adams
So I think the SAG snub was an anomaly because of screener issues, though I wouldn't be surprised if either Favourite surprises. It really helps that Amy will probably win in the TV category. Only Foy can probably safely enjoy her seat. SAG winner should be interesting.

Supporting Actor: Ali - Chalamet - Driver - Grant - Rockwell
WILL WIN: Mahershala Ali - Green Book
Alt: Richard E. Grant
This feels like a makeup win for giving Aaron Taylor-Johnson the win 2 years ago. LOL - remember that? I think if Grant does win, he could sweep the season. There's always Timmy, though.

Actress - Comedy/Musical: Blunt - Colman - Fisher - Theron - Wu
WILL WIN: Olivia Colman - The Favourite
Alt: Emily Blunt
It's a tight race between these two. Both have won before, both in Supporting Actress for TV.

Actor - Comedy/Musical: Bale - Miranda - Mortensen - Redford - Reilly
WILL WIN: Christian Bale - Vice
Alt: Viggo Mortensen
Bale should be easily ahead.

Actress - Drama: Close - Kidman - Gaga - McCarthy - Pike
WILL WIN: Lady Gaga - A Star Is Born
Alt: Glenn Close
Okay, I'm buying into the hype. I was going to go with Close, who I think will take SAG, but I'm going with Gaga.

Actor - Drama: Cooper - Dafoe - Hedges - Malek - Washington
WILL WIN: Bradley Cooper - A Star Is Born
Alt: Rami Malek
Man, everyone has changed their predictions to Malek but I'm not budging yet. If he does win, can that start the backlash for that film?

Screenplay: Favourite - Green Book - If Beale Street Could Talk - Roma - Vice
WILL WIN: The Favourite
Alt: Vice
Any of them could win.

Director: Cooper - Cuaron - Farrelly - Lee - McKay
WILL WIN: Alfonso Cuaron - Roma
Alt: Bradley Cooper - A Star Is Born
Cuz if Rami wins actor, they gotta reward Bradley somewhere?

Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical: Crazy Rich Asians - Favourite - Green Book - Mary Poppins Returns - Vice
WILL WIN: Green Book
Alt: Vice
It's between those two and Favourite. Just spit-balling here.

Motion Picture - Drama: Black Panther - Blackkklansman - Bohemian Rhapsody - If Beale Street Could Talk - A Star Is Born
WILL WIN: A Star Is Born
Alt: Black Panther

And that's that.

PGA Dix

These are announced on Friday. The next week is kind of crazy.
Friday - PGA Noms
Sunday - Golden Globes
Monday - WGA Noms
Tuesday - DGA Noms
Wednesday - BAFTA Noms

So in little over a week, we'll have the clearest picture of what Oscar noms will bring.


For PGA...

Black Panther
BlacKkkLansman
Crazy Rich Asians
The Favourite
Green Book
If Beale Street Could Talk
A Quiet Place
Roma
A Star Is Born
Vice

alt: Bohemian Rhapsody
There's also Mary Poppins Returns, Eighth Grade and several others. I really hope Bohemian doesn't get in.

Box: Does the Escape Room have a Panic Room?

1. Aquaman - $33m / $263m / $350m
2. Mary Poppins Returns - $20m / $142m / $200m
3. Escape Room - $15m / $15m / $38m
4. Bumblebee - $12m / $97m / $130m
5. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - $11m / $131m / $160m
6. The Mule - $8m / $80m / $100m
7. Second Act - $5m / $33m / $46m
8. Vice - $4.5m / $28.5m / $45m
9. Ralph Breaks the Internet - $4m / $186m / $200m
**Holmes and Watson - $4m / $29m / $38m

Aquaman continues its #1 domination. At this rate, it'll be DC's second highest grossing film domestically, behind only Wonder Woman. Mary Poppins continues a respectably leggy run. Not quite the home run we all expected, but a definite base hit. Escape Room is the only opener, and should do the typical early January horror numbers. This month ahead looks fairly weak, with likely only Glass being a huge hit. Legs for the holdovers should be strong.

Thursday, December 27, 2018

Box: Christmas Update

Aquaman sits atop the box-office and will probably stay there well into the New Year. It earned $22m on Tuesday, with its total at about $106m. The upcoming weekend should see a gross in the low to mid 40's. The big question will be can it get to $200m by the end of New Year's Day.

Mary Poppins Returns has been performing lighter than expectations. It brought in $11m on Christmas Day for a total just under $50m. I honestly expected to have almost doubled that total by now. Disney probably should have opened it Christmas Day. As of right now, my initial predicted total gross of $300m will be way too high. With legs taking it into a very light January, it should manage $175m+, though a lot of people are paying close attention to its day to day holds. Gross for the upcoming weekend should be in the mid to high 20's.

Meanwhile, Bumblebee looks to be performing exactly as expected. It's tally after Christmas Day was just about $34m. Another film with a leggy run in store, it should finish with $110-120m. That's the lowest grossing of the franchise and with a budget of $135m, it'll need strong overseas numbers. 3-day ahead looks be low to mid 20's.

Holmes and Watson and Vice were the only Christmas Day openers. Holmes brought in over $6m, but it received a D+ Cinemascore, almost unheard of for a mainstream comedy. With a current 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, this film will be lucky to have any legs at all. Vice took in $4.8m on Tuesday with a low C+ Cinemascore. It'll rely on awards nominations to carry it through January, though it's worth noting that Wolf of Wall Street still had a leggy run despite a "C" Cinemascore. Both films should see a weekend gross of low 8 figures, if not quite hitting the teens. Holmes will fade fast after that.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse took in $5.6m on Tuesday with a total gross of about $74m. The upcoming weekend looks to be in the mid to high teens. It'll pass $100m before New Year's Day. Beyond that, $130-140m looks to be where its domestic gross will end up.

The Mule did just under $5m on Christmas, bringing its gross up to $42m. A 3-day gross between $12-14m should be in order, while its final total hitting $80-90m.

The J-Lo starrer Second Act had its biggest day yet with $3m, and a total of $10.6m. The comedy is headed toward $35-40m total, which is okay.

Welcome To Marwen is officially the bomb of the holiday season and is expected to lose about $50m. It took in $1.3m on Tuesday, with its tally at just over $4m. It probably won't do more than $20m. Another dud for Robert Zemeckis.

November holdovers The Grinch (at $258m yesterday) and Ralph Breaks the Internet ($165m) will have another week to get in some business before exiting first run theaters. Both films will probably add about $15-20m before all is said and done.

Period pieces The Favourite and Mary Queen of Scots are neck and neck. Both brought in under $900k in about 800 locations. Favourite is at $11.5m, while Mary is just under $5m. Both will add $4-5m by the end of New Year's Day.

In limited release, On the Basis of Sex did a very impressive $14k PTA in just over 30 theaters. That's a fantastic start and, despite a mediocre critical reception, it might just prove to be a mainstream crossover success. (I believe it goes wide on the 11th.) If Beale Street Could Talk expanded to 65 locations, and had a strong PTA. At just under a million, the film will get a rollout throughout January, eventually going wide on the 18th. Annapurna's other release, Destroyer, did okay on Tuesday earning $30k in 3 theaters. It is currently schedule to go wide on January 25th.

Box: Sherry Bobbins' Revenge

1. Aquaman - $68m / $68m / $225m
2. Mary Poppins Returns - $38m / $52m / $300m
3. Bumble Bee - $20m / $20m / $115m
4. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - $18m / $66m / $130m
5. The Mule - $9m / $35m / $85m
**The Grinch - $9m / $253m / $275m
7. Second Act - $7m / $7m / $35m
8. Ralph Breaks the Internet - $5m / $162m / $185m
**Welcome To Marwen - $5m / $5m / $25m
10. Mortal Engines - $3.5m / $14m / $25m

Five openers, and two more on Tuesday, plus a lot of expansions! The 21st through the 1st promises to be crazy. Aquaman will open at #1 for the weekend, but I suspect Mary Poppins will take over on Christmas Day and be #1 into the new year. Bumble Bee has very good reviews, but it's competing with both Aquaman and the very well received Spider-Verse. Should still be enough to cross $100m. The J-Lo vehicle Second Act was supposed to open back in November, and probably should have kept that date. It'll most likely get lost in the competition. Welcome To Marwen has dismal reviews, so even its strong ensemble won't be able to save it. Mortal Engines looks to be the bomb of the season. It will probably only do about $25m domestic on a $100m+ budget. Ouch.

Box: Spider-Man: Here We Go Again

1. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - $34m / $34m / $135m
2. The Mule - $14m / $14m / $65m
3. Mortal Engines - $13m / $13m / $40m
4. The Grinch - $9.5m / $237m / $265m
5. Ralph Breaks the Internet - $9m / $154m / $180m
6. Creed 2 - $5m / $104.5m / $118m
7. Fantastic Beasts 2 - $3.5m / $151.5m / $162m
**Bohemian Rhapsobdy - $3.5m / $179.5m / $190m
**Once Upon a Deadpool - $3.5m / $3.5m / $8m
**Instant Family - $3.5m / $60m / $70m

**Green Book - $3m / $25m / $50m
**The Favourite - $3m / $7m / $32m

**Vox Lux - $1.5m / $1.7m / $10m

3 openers should add some life after 2 weeks of barely any movement. Spider-Man has great reviews and could be leggy if there weren't three movies opening next week after some of the same market. The Mule is one of the few movies, along with Vice, opening in the next two weeks aimed squarely at older audiences. (Plus, the films expanding!) Mortal Engines should have opened last weekend, even though it's looking to be a big non-event anyway. As for Once Upon a Deadpool, it apparently is only a 12-day run. I still can't believe Fox is wasting prime box-office real estate on a recut movie that opened 7 months ago. Just as amazing is that they are getting 1,500+ theaters to play it. The Favourite expands to 500+ locations after a great run in limited. It should hold well over the coming weeks before its Oscar bump kicks in. I guess Green Book won't be adding a substantial amount of theaters until Oscar nominations. It's holding on very well. Vox Lux is going into 300+ locations. Neon really should have held it for next year. It's an award season non-starter, so there was no point in pushing it in an already incredibly crowded December. No idea how many theaters Mary Queen of Scots expands to, but it did very well last weekend in a handful of theaters. If Beale Street Could Talk opens this weekend, though I'm not sure what its expansion plans are. Probably won't go fully wide until mid or late January. Lots of excitement at the box-office!

SAG Reactions!

Double Blunt noms! The Bluntski's did very well this morning!

Regina King missed! Wow. Screener issues? That's so odd. We'll see if the internet lets SAG off the hook for this. They have before, while the Globes and Oscars have both endured backlash.

So Adams, King, Weisz and Stone in Supporting. Who gets that last slot? BAFTA will help decide. Actess and Supporting Actor look set. Actor - I guess we're all gonna predict Hawke until he doesn't happen.

Bohemian in ensemble? Good Lord, why? That may be the worst ensemble nom they've ever given. It's not even a real ensemble?

Ensemble lineup is blockbuster heavy. Some are saying that's what a Popular Film category at the Oscars would have looked like.

As for TV, they are streaming-heavy! And surprisingly newer! SAG has done a good job of nominating newer stuff lately, when they used to be worse than the Emmys. They are never going to give up Grace and Frankie, though.

FILM!

Male Actor in a Supporting Role:
Mahershala Ali - Green Book
Timothee Chalamet - Beautiful Boy
Adam Driver - Blackkklansman
Sam Elliot - A Star Is Born
Richard E. Grant - Can You Ever Forgive Me?
alt: Michael B. Jordan - Black Panther
That's the exact prediction I had for the Globes, so we'll try this again. I don't think Vice had that many screenings with SAG to get Rockwell in.

Female Actor in a Supporting Role:
Amy Adams - Vice
Claire Foy - First Man
Regina King - If Beale Street Could Talk
Emma Stone - The Favourite
Rachel Weisz - The Favourite
alt: Nicole Kidman - Boy Erased
If this is the lineup, it's probably the Oscar lineup.

Male Actor in a Leading Role:
Christian Bale - Vice
Bradley Cooper - A Star Is Born
Ethan Hawke - First Reformed
Rami Malek - Bohemian Rhapsody
Viggo Mortensen - Green Book
alt: John David Washington - Blackkklansman
Hawke still feels like he's probably safe for the Oscar nom. If he misses this and BAFTA, maybe I'll drop him.

Female Actor in a Leading Role:
Emily Blunt - Mary Poppins Returns
Glenn Close - The Wife
Olivia Colman - The Favourite
Lady Gaga - A Star Is Born
Melissa McCarthy - Can You Ever Forgive Me?
alt: Yalitza Aparicio - Roma
This is starting to be the consensus 6. Blunt might miss here given how late Mary screened, though.

Ensemble:
Black Panther
Crazy Rich Asians
Green Book
If Beale Street Could Talk
A Star Is Born
alt: Roma
This is pretty crazy. I don't think there is any set nominee here. Those 6, plus Blackkklansman, The Favourite and/or Vice. Important to remember that last year The Shape of Water become the first Best Picture winner since Braveheart to miss the SAG Ensemble category.
