You've said more than once that people from rural/regional America get overlooked by people in the big coastal cities because they aren't

experiencing the same things or don't understand other viewpoints.Ā  That's an accurate view, but the same is also true in reverse.

DL: Crazy Rich Asians sold out most of its paid previews at 354 locations. (not hype) Antibody Aug 09, 09:41

For RollingThunder "Much like Black Panther was a defining film for Black America on the big screen... so is Crazy Rich Asians. " {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 09:42

We'll see. I remain skeptical and conservative with my expectations. I imagine most of those locations would have been demo targeted. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 09, 09:45

Vulture: the long crazy road to Crazy Rich Asians slipping jimmy Aug 09, 10:07

Interesting, JCHU is related to Rachel Chu from the book. Antibody Aug 09, 10:51

That bodes well. It is also highly re-watchable. Lots of times laughter was so loud you couldn't hear the next lines of dialogue. {nm} CSBD Aug 09, 10:19

wife and I are looking forward to the movie, but we watch a lot of rom-coms and to us it's an Asian "Monster-In-Law" =P {nm} tealfan Aug 09, 10:19

they may as well give this the most popular oscar award now {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 11:24

We still don't know the criteria. $50M by Dec 31? $75M? $100M? Top 100 film by Dec 31? {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 11:56

Top 100 is too wide, make that Top 25, no more than 50. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 12:01

Top 25 would have cut out Blade Runner 2049 & Baby Driver. (Though my guess at 2017 nominees is Wonder Woman, Logan, Dunkirk, It & Get Out) {nm} RogerMore Aug 09, 12:35

best film not for white jewish old men who live in the valley and used to co-produce episodes of Three's Company {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 12:24

A group likely to have an Asian fetish. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 12:28

oh snap! {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 12:30

Link it to P&S spend. {nm} RogerMore Aug 09, 12:32

*P&A {nm} RogerMore Aug 09, 12:35

i've often suggested that to the indie spirits. The issue is no one wants to disclose that {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 12:38

has to be $100+ (by when nominatuions open), otherwise it wasnt popular (2018 so far id say Panther, MI6 and Quiet Place only deservees) {nm} islndr Aug 09, 12:42

There is no doubt in my mind that this a $100m movie. $150m is doable IMO. {nm} MiyazakiFan Aug 09, 12:14

Under $20m for 5 days. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 09, 12:36

My guess is $40m at least over the 5-day and very, very strong legs with repeat business. MiyazakiFan Aug 09, 14:16

Last night gave me a "Hidden Figures" vibe in terms of audience. CSBD Aug 09, 12:51

Good. That's awesome news {nm} VictorY Aug 09, 14:57
