    My bad. This is what happens when I do not follow box office and look at people's avatars instead. :)

    I think there's going to be an interesting "Ted vs. the goat" fight for the number one position for this weekend's box office with the Coco being challenged by The Shape of Water.

    I think it's going to be a close smackdown.

    So, depending on how The Last Jedi does in the first couple of weeks, the top two domestic highest grossing movies of 2017 should be: The Last Jedi and Beauty and the Beast.

    Also, Disney crossed the $5 billion global mark again.

    The Shape of Water is only in two theaters this weekend, not sure when it goes wide. Coco should easily be the #1 film again this weekend.

    Really? I thought Shape of Water was nationwide this weekend. Bummer.

    EDIT: It's currently at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.

    Yeah, they're just doing the release for awards eligibility now. I'm not sure when the nationwide release is.

    There's no new wide releases this weekend and just one next weekend (Just Getting Started?). Coco probably has a good chance of being #1 again next weekend too.

    I checked locally and The Shape of Water will be playing at a couple of art house theaters next weekend.

    Actually looked for a goat/squirrel pic this morning and didn't find one I like. Did find a goat though. Guess I'll change to that for a bit.

    Shape of Water will probably expand and be across North America by Christmas ala La La Land. but even La La Land didn't do a true nationwide expansion until the 1st week of January, I think, and it opened the same day. So it'll be a slow box office take.

    Disaster Artist is the one getting a small release this weekend and going wide on the 8th. oddly, I think it's going to do well, not many comedies out there now and it'll be wacky counterprograming to Justice League / Thor / Last Jedi.

    Perfect. And don’t forget, as it’s a WB cartoon from the 50s/60s, not only is he stubborn, but he’s a racist sexual predator prone to violence.

    That last one also refers to 2ndQ when he catches up on the thread.

    The worst part is his fellow mod’s flagrant disregard for his post. The monsters.

    But that’s what I like. You and HL are my security blankets.

    And love you both for it.

    You’re the GOAT.

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume by "last one" you mean simply "prone to violence".

    I'm pretty certain that's what he meant, otherwise I would have edited it myself.

    I thought it was fairly clear.
