Great article. Here's your answer as to why the audiences are staying home binge watching while box office numbers are going through the roof. Thats how you make up the gap. I mean $50 a ticket in London. And I thought NY was bad. lol.

Funny as heck for a short clip. And I love that nod to Aliens. Rated R for Clay animation violence lol.

I said on the show that they would both be tied at the boxoffice but it looks like Aquaman will be the winner. While Aquaman hasn't been nominated, it's big win as it will break $500M Worldwide mark in less than 3 weeks thanks to China. And Poppins is going to walk away with all the awards. It's a win win for everyone. And even Bumblebee looks like it will do good.  It will be a long weekend thanks to the holidays.

Mini-reviews:
Roma: 2, What a depressing movie. Not a holiday movie when a family member dies. Sad.
Bumblebee: 3, Whats with RT? It wasn't all that. At least they got the Volkswagon right.
Aquaman: 4. Wan got this right. Bigtime! Besides a couple of glitches in the CGI area (undersea is difficult) and Pitbull's mess on Toto's Africa song, this is a great film from beginning to end.
Lots of action through out until they bring out the big guns at the end. Top 5 for the year.
SpiderVerse: 2. This was a mess and the animation drove me nuts. Even tho I liked Noir Spidey, Ij ust didnt get Anime girl and that stupid pig.
Mowgli: 4: Serkis did a great ob on this. Why the hate? Better than the last one, total crap.

Wow, not even the studio saw this coming. It already out gross Wonder Woman in ticket sales in China and it just opened! This is doing huge business. They need to sign Wan for the sequels as the studio didn't have faith in him to begin with. Hope he clears a big paycheck he deserves it.

You figure is Jackson's name attached, audiences would be at least curious. How soon they forget this is the man who did LOTR. Also it come behind Fantastic Beasts which is not doing all that at the B.O. And isn't steampunk passe already?

Was anyone asking for Robin Hood anyways? The i biggest shame was Happy Time Murders.
Muppets gone bad, funny as hell. Maybe a cult classic on Netflix. The rest deserve to be on the shitlist.

Nope. It's all about Disney being a total control freak. They're doing a good job at it too, lol.
