Weekend Estimate by DeadOscar Klady

Weenend Estimates 2016-02-28 at 8.56.42 AM

I thought I was going to write something yesterday… but didn’t. Truth is, there isn’t a lot to analyze here.

Deadpool keeps going. The newcomers simply failed to find an audience. Eddie The Eagle is a charmer, but it just never turned the corner, perhaps because its lead is unrecognizable to Americans, perhaps the title (the story is ancient in internet time), perhaps they should have gone to SXSW (or Sundance, if they didn’t try that). Oscar movies are already gone, pretty much. The only indie killing it is The Mermaid, which is still under house arrest.

Money doesn’t mean what it once did to Oscar voting, but for the sake of clarity, one last time for this season…
