Something I do love about You Can See Everything is how Fielder/Oppenheim have the kind of authorial synergy that comes from uniquely great writers and directors collaborating, like Fincher/Sorkin on Social Network or Spielberg/Kushner on Munich or Chuck Jones/Dr. Seuss on the Grinch TV special.

That’s an incredible -12% drop from Saturday to Sunday, a potentially promising sign that word-of-mouth may already be helping it out.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Fascinated by how this and Buddy have had similar journeys: premiered at Sundance, didn't generate enough buzz to get picked up until well after the fest (Wicker in February, Buddy in April), but managed to ride a viral marketing campaign to a remarkable $5-6 million opening weekend.

Truly remarkable that this many people are making time on a WEEKDAY to watch a 3 hour documentary (or a 3.5-4+ hour commitment w/previews and travel)

A three hour R-rated documentary was the #1 movie in America yesterday, and will be for the remainder of the week...and maybe even this weekend?

That is a SEVEN PERCENT Sunday drop, a completely unheard of drop outside of holiday weekends. The only comparison I can think of is, uh, Obsession dropping only -11% on its first Sunday.

The Devils becomes only the third NC-17 release to make over $1 million in a single weekend, after Henry & June (1990) and Showgirls (1995).

Only two non-music/concert documentaries have ever opened above $10 million: Fahrenheit 9/11 ($23.9M) and DisneyNature's Chimpanzee ($10.7M). This is more or less locked in to become the third.

Sorry to talk awards in October BUT...it'd be pretty funny if Nathan Fielder ended up winning an Oscar before winning an Emmy.

You Can See Everything scores the 5th biggest preview number ever for an A24 release behind only Backrooms, Civil War, Primetime, and Marty Supreme. Doubly impressive considering all of those movies were in over 2,500 theaters and this in less than 900.

He looks like the son of an alien-of-the-week guest star on Star Trek: Voyager.

Aw yeah that’s the good shit

Made homemade wings but forgot to adjust the recipe's breading ratio for my smaller portion and they're inedibly salty

Sometimes I'll look for a YouTube video in an incognito window in order to avoid messing up my algorithm, which also means I occasionally get a rather despairing glimpse into what the algorithm-free YouTube looks like

I was one of only five people at my Social Reckoning screening, but one of the other four people said to his wife “wow I think we’re the only people here” right as the movie started and started loudly talking about how he believes the leading lady in this won some awards.

Resident Evil has surpassed The Final Chapter's $314.1M total to become the biggest film of the franchise worldwide.

For comparison, here's what The Social Network's opening weekend looked like in 2010 dollars. Reckoning's final total may not even reach Network's unadjusted two-day total.

Just realized it's a big weekend for all the Molly's Game heads out there

Mildly funny that WB made a whole "Americans are mad at this movie but the rest of the world digs it!" ad for this only for the rest of the world to not really show up for it either. Even Lions for Lambs made to $48M internationally in 2007 dollars.

Even beyond both of them running for a statewide race in Ohio, Ramaswamy is very Vance-esque in how utterly lacking he is in charisma and general human instincts.

Got trailers for Day Drinker and Ebenezer before Digger.

Always funny to run across one of these

Oh hell yes.

Can't imagine anyone at A24 thought when they gave this the greenlight that it would score them their third biggest opening weekend ever.

“I am the code” dude is just Palpatinemaxxing at this point

Happy Fall Equinox!

The final weekend number pushes this just ahead of Resident Evil: Afterlife's final domestic total to become the biggest Resident Evil movie ever domestically.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is one of my favorite movies of the last 10 years and yet every piece of Cliff Booth marketing hasn't left me feeling much of anything.

Exceptionally bleak that this is happening the week after CNN was banned from the White House and no one involved in this purchase even feigned concern about it.

One thing I’m particularly excited for about Gerwig’s Narnia movie is how much her Unitarian Universalist upbringing will be discussed in relation to it.

Is there any tech company that started with a gimmick that did not eventually give up on it so it could homogenize itself with the rest of the field?

My at-the-outset take on this is that it looks and sounds genuinely audacious in a way that I thought adaptations of big "IP" were no longer allowed to be, which is only making me more excited.

At long last, we have recreated the Stanford Prison Experiment from the classic study “Don’t Recreate the Stanford Prison Experiment”

what the fuck

Kinda cool of Elijah Wood that after being top-billed in three of the biggest movies of the young century, he chose his first big follow-up role after those movies to be the 6th-billed massive stalker creep in a post-modern RomCom.

Kinda funny how much of the political establishment has a “stupid sexy Flanders” relationship to a random streamer most Americans don’t even know exists.

Fetterman is the political personification of this tweet

“Nicholas Hoult leaves Harry Potter due to scheduling conflicts” vibes

About damn time. They're soooo close to seeming like a real movie studio now!!

This ended up also being the secret screening at Telluride so we can probably expect reactions to this in 3ish hours. 😃😃😃
