No, i am saying chasing an Oscar is the #1 priority. FWIW, most of the films you cited were not huge box office titles.

Posted by: Moviesnob on Sep 30, 12:41 in response to lobogotti's post are you saying he has a chance at Oscar for this film? I...

DAYS OF THUNDER wasnt a bomb but it wasnt a breakout either. He's only doing the sequel b/c of F1 not because its an IP his fans want more of. Nascar doesnt have a world wide fan base. EDGE OF TOMORROW underperformed so much they tried to change the title in marketing after it already came out. MINORITY REPORT, WAR OF THE WORLDS were top 10 hits but REACHER wasnt even in the top 50 titles that year for WW box office. 


To be clear, yes he wants box office, but he wants the Oscar for his legacy, not for his bank account. Thats why he did DIGGER. I just dont agree with you that he's gonna play it safe going forward. Honestly, that would be TOP GUN movies only, lol. 

I think he works with a Sean Baker or a Bong Joon Ho or the like alongside the IP films

Variety: Digger tracking revised down to 12-15 million notfabio Sep 30, 07:18

The article goes into all of the WB losses for the year. {nm} Antibody Sep 30, 08:05

TC will play it safe from here on out. sad. {nm} lobogotti Sep 30, 08:50

Disagree. He's chasing an Oscar {nm} Moviesnob Sep 30, 09:07

He's not gonna get one for Days of Thunder. Will Paramount fund the next Oscar bait after? {nm} Antibody Sep 30, 09:57

Theyll say yes to anything he wants but the real issue is he'll need to continue to work with auteurs and will they want to work with Skynet {nm} Moviesnob Sep 30, 10:03

he just showed up for a Michael Mann screening. Heat 3 babeee {nm} jimothy Sep 30, 10:54

well, that's encouraging. but this is a unique role that I don't see him agreeing to try something daring in the near future. {nm} lobogotti Sep 30, 10:58

Yeah you're right. no one has ever won an oscar for doing something daring :-P {nm} Moviesnob Sep 30, 11:08

are you saying he has a chance at Oscar for this film? I just think over the next 10 years we see films that will guarantee a BO from TC. lobogotti Sep 30, 11:57

Origin story of Jabba the Hut studio exec in Tropic Thunder😊. He was truly transformational & hilarious in that role. {nm} MAlbi Sep 30, 12:59

American Made was 9 years back. That's the last film pre-Digger for something that might not have BO appeal. lobogotti Sep 30, 13:25

well I defer to you. you're much more of a subject matter expert, and I sincerely hope he takes a swing at something to help earn him a lobogotti Sep 30, 13:23
