Remember when the movie previews at multiplexes actually started at the posted showtime? Those were the days.

How it feels when you're WFH and brining something for dinner

It's always funny when you're in a dream and your brain makes up a movie you casually accepts as real before quickly realizing it doesn't exist. Like last night when I thought about how Jordan Peele ruined Nope with the sequel co-starring Tom Hanks as a live-action Woody.

We Were All Busy That Weekend - Please Run Cuomo in the Mayoral Race a Third Time

Kind of amazed by how well "Trilogy of Error" holds up on rewatch compared to basically every other Simpsons season 12 episode - it's focused, has some fun surprises, and is pretty consistently funny. Also has one of my favorite dumb jokes of the series that stayed in my head over the last 24 years

Funnily enough this is easily the biggest single weekend gross ever for a Lanthimos film, albeit because Poor Things and The Favourite had a much slower rollout and never made over $3M in one weekend - it’ll probably be lucky to make half of what those did domestically.

Reality in 2025:

This place not having polls is genuinely what keeps it from being a Serious Website. We need the bracket

Unfortunately every time in Blue Moon someone sang the titular song the first version I started thinking of was the cover the mice sing in Babe.

🚨CHICAGOLAND IS GETTING A 70MM IMAX SCREEN IN TIME FOR THE ODYSSEY!!!🚨 variety.com/2025/film/ne...

“The Shinning” is a rare case of a 5/5 parody of a 5/5 masterpiece where seeing the parody first (as I did, and several times at that) does not blunt the impact of the original at all.

Just saw Blue Moon. Lorenz Hart would have been one helluva Poster

Me leaving the Taco Bell drive thru: “Aw crap, I forgot to ask for fire sauce!” Two lucky fire sauces that have been hanging out in my glove compartment for the last six months:

As a longtime Yorgos skeptic I must say that Bugonia is pretty easily my favorite film of his?

Look I really like the Mann Miami Vice but a crime movie starring Butler and MBJ with a solid director behind the camera? I’m very game.

One Battle After Another has now outgrossed DiCaprio's last movie Killers of the Flower Moon, and more than doubled the worldwide gross of Paul Thomas Anderson's previous highest grosser, There Will Be Blood ($77.2M). At its current pace it should finish somewhere north of $200M worldwide.

Watching the 2001 Supporting Actress presentation

Hype on this felt low to the point that I was wondering if it was another M3GAN 2.0, but it seems to be on track for a higher opening weekend than the original. Being the first big horror release in a month probably helped, but still impressive for a sequel to a movie that wasn't begging for one.

I dunno why everyone is complaining about the job market I just got cold-offered the opportunity of a lifetime from Lionsgate’s Philippines department

boxofficega.me October 17, 1997 ✅ 200 ✅ 155 ✅ 155 ✅ 120 ✅ 155 ➕ 200 🏆 985

Ok but why are they taking so long to add polls here

If this estimate holds, One Battle After Another will be only the third #1 opener this year to drop less than 50% in its second weekend, after Sinners and Weapons.

Yeah that Oscar nom ain't happening. Might even struggle for a Globe nom atp

Watching reactions to the new album trickle in somehow reminding me of Spider-Man 3 opening weekend when I slowly watched waves of disappointed and outright angry reactions come in on the Box Office Mojo forums.

Feel like anyone using “coworker” pejoratively needs to get over themselves.

Your Chase Infiniti name = a character name and a famous line from the two highest grossing movies four or five years before you were born

sounds like she needs to spend some time in a place that somehow makes heartbreak feel good

As someone that was probably this AI child’s age in 2002 and whose family regularly went to Walmart at the time, I cannot imagine the bleakness of the kind of soul that has this level of nostalgia for the experience.

Celine Song should put James Marsden in her next movie. Could be a good bit.

We have Bob and Willa Ferguson. We have Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw. We have Sensei Sergio. We have Perfidia Beverly Hills. We have Virgil Throckmorton. We have Junglepussy. We have all these characters.

So One Battle After Another just scored an A CinemaScore. Handedly the reported best of PTA's career (beating Boogie Nights's C) and shocking the second best of Leonardo DiCaprio's career - the only other film of his to score above an A- is Titanic.

FoxTrot might be the only newspaper comic strip to ever make a direct reference to a Paul Thomas Anderson film

Most of the other...non-IP movies (sorry) to score $3M+ in previews post-COVID have been horror with the exceptions of Oppenheimer, Bullet Train, Red One, and The Lost City, so that's a pretty promising start. Not sure it'll reach the $30M heights those did but $25M looks like its in play.

Started thinking about if I could pull off the Bob Ferguson robe ensemble as a Halloween costume during One Battle After Another before realizing that every movie dork with a beard and longish hair is or will soon be thinking the exact same thing this weekend.

Now seated for:

I know everything gets a good reaction at Fantastic Fest but I am still very encouraged by the early reactions Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (Gore Verbinski's newest).

Oh my god

Crazy how most of the cast of No Country for Old Men, save for Josh Brolin and Stephen Root, only worked with the Coens on that one movie. Would love to see Bardem, Jones, Harrelson, Macdonald work with them again.

Ya know, “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire really is a lovely song

TIL that the kid in No Country for Old Men that gets one of two f-bombs in the entire movie was a young Caleb Landry Jones.
