affected as I think it will be. Nominations might help it...but I get the sense audiences are weary of political themes.

The Grinch is having an amazing run. Look at those legs. Huge win for the film, it's beaten down both the Potter film and Ralph as well. Goodvibe61 Dec 21, 13:24

Do you own actual stock in the movie? {nm} EdwardHavens Dec 21, 22:08

I wish. Who wouldn't want to at this point? More importantly, where is part 2 of the Early Report? I've missed it badly for a long time now. {nm} Goodvibe61 Dec 22, 00:54

DL commented that Universal needed Grinch since Mortal and Marwen are duds thus far. Glad it is doing well, too. =) {nm} Catzan Dec 22, 11:58

they dumped Green Book to make room for Mortal (which isnt even theirs) and Marwen. They could have sold out shows of GB, but they have two Moviesnob Dec 22, 13:18
