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

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?

Jonathan @jonathanmb32.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

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.

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.

(The movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)

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.

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

Kinda surprising it took Disney this long to do an anniversary re-release of Pixar's golden age. I wonder if we can get a Ratatouille and/or WALL-E anniversary re-releases as well.

The Odyssey has now made 4.73x its opening weekend domestically, pushing it past Inception's multiplier (4.68) to become Nolan's leggiest wide release ever. It also stands as the third leggiest $80M+ opener ever, behind only Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water.

Jonathan @jonathanmb32.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

The success of Weapons indicates that Cregger has the potential to be another Nolan/Peele-caliber director that can bring out audiences for anything he makes, so I'm honestly relieved that he won't be wasting that potential in Franchise Land after this.

$146 difference between Spider-Man and The Odyssey. Not sure I can remember the last time the top 2 movies were that close on a single day.

"Christmas Carol adaptation where Scrooge makes salient financial points and everyone who hates him isn't so perfect themselves" is such a cartoonishly perfect movie for the new anti-woke Paramount to greenlight.

You know Nolan has an ironclad grip on the social media output for The Odyssey because Universal still hasn’t released an HD clip of Pattinson’s “beggars” moment.

A well-deployed “Be My Baby” needledrop can make you feel like you’re watching the best movie ever for a couple minutes, which is at least partially why the Zendaya/Barry Jenkins Ronnie Spector movie has “best music biopic ever” potential

It’s always fun to rewatch a movie I have only seen once before in the early ‘00s and to see a moment that was burned into my brain because I saw it in 500 ads, like the Red Queen hologram saying “you’re all going to die down here” in Resident Evil

Only 16 days into the month, the August 2026 box office has already out-grossed every previous August since 2016, and will soon surpass it as the biggest August ever - the first time post-COVID that a month's box office record has been beaten. www.boxofficemojo.com/month/?ref_=...

Very promising expansion; for comparison, I Saw the TV Glow's second weekend expansion had a much smaller per-theater average ($9,291) in significantly less theaters (21).

I actually did a ranking of each season a few years ago; my lowest non-clip show from each season: 3: Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington 4: Marge in Chains 5: Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy 6: Grandpa vs. Sexual Inadequacy 7: Bart the Fink 8: The Homer They Fall I think "Fink" or "Fall" would be my choice.

I'm tired of living through unprecedented times

Article excerpt:

“This is the craziest storm season I’ve ever seen,” WGN-TV meteorologist Bill Snyder said. “There’s been no rest for the wicked.”

Snyder said Illinois will likely pass 200 confirmed tornadoes after Tuesday’s storms, far and away the most tornadoes of any state in the country for 2026, according to the National Weather Service.

If Illinois continues this stormy trend, it may not only add to its state record but perhaps break a nationwide record for the total number of tornadoes in one state in any single year — 232 tornados in Texas in 2015 and 1967.

“I’m firmly convinced Illinois will break the national tornado record before 2026 is over,” Snyder said.
