Wipeout! Deadpool No. 1 Third week in a row with an eye at $600M at the International Boxoffice.
Man this is so sweet. Guess the Gods were with Merc and not with Egypt. Oh well.

Deadpool will be No. 1 again. $140M spent on Gods of Egypt will be the big embarrasement for the studio. Ouch. Only the overseas market will hopefully save this one and Butler's career. Quick: Name his big film hit besides 300. Yep that movie about saving the president. What was it called?

Here is one person from the Academy who was asked to remain nameless and gave his votes. The reason I picked this article from all the rest (article gives you links for others) is this one picks Mad Max as the projected winner for most of the technical awards. Of course this can change on Oscar night. So now you know which one I'm rooting for and Star Wars for the big one VFX award. Old school honor: Sly Stallone for Creed. Everything else? Meh.

While I'm rooting for Mad Max to do a clean sweep, damn that Leo and bear, we know that won't happen. But one category we hope to win is Editing. As a fellow editor (Premiere) I really admire what Margaret Sixel did with the film. And she proves what women can do in the industry. Hope she wins.
