I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that they're gonna jettison her. Especially if Mangold is the one coming back to make it. And he probably will be.

Yeah, if Mangold comes back, I definitely see him fighting to keep her.
Girls typically play closer to their own age in those early teenage years.

I was looking at it as something like Hailee Steinfield as a 19 year old playing 16-17 in Edge of Seventeen, then I looked at her filmography as realized she played a 14 year old at 13 in True Grit, so I guess you're right.

If Mangold wants her to star, she'll star, The Wolverine gave him the cache to do Logan and Logan gave him the cache to do whatever he wants

I'm curious as to whether Fox might actually try to push Jackman & Stewart for awards consideration.
I think they will.
Depending on how much they wanna spend on campaigning, it might work, too.
Can you imagine Stewart getting one of the Academy Classic "this is for your whole career" Supporting Actor awards for LOGAN

I could maybe see a nomination for Stewart. I doubt Jackman gets anything. The Greatest Showman probably hurts his chances if it is good.

That's Fox too, ya? They'll pick the one they think has a better chance and go all in

Yeah, but imagine the Best Actor clip!
"And the nominees are... Hugh Jackman: Logan"
*clip fades in*
"At least... At least there's water. There's..."
*Slams shovel into ground*
*fade out*
APPLAUSE!

Greatest Showman is more awards friendly, and the X-Mas open will make it fresh on voters mind.
Assuming it is good of course.

If Stewart is nominated, 50% of the jokes during the show will be about him as the poop emoji. And Ian McKellen will be on the floor laughing.
Interesting The House fact No. 473
Did you know that they recut and reshot so much of the film that at one point the goddess Alexandria Daddario played a character with a subplot but now, despite being listed in the credits, she doesn't actually appear in the film at all.
Showbiz.
I have to assume that when the early cut came in it was clear the film was total bobbins so they tried to fix it with reshoots and then when that didn't work they tried more reshoots and then when that didn't work they just threw up their hands and picked what they could from the smoldering mess they had and released that.
Or, in other words, they 'Jonah Hexxed' it.

That would explain the nearly complete and total lack of marketing an the fact that the first trailer didn't come out until like 2-3 months before it releases.
At least it's over quick?
I had such high hopes for an adaption. The trailers are absolutely terrible but it has Elba and dude from Texas so I gotta watch.
Wait? How doees that work. Been a while since i read the first book, but isn't that shit dense as fuck?

The short runtime might also explain that reported $60M budget as well.

They've been saying for a while now that it's not a straight adaptation. It's some sort of sequel or side-story or something.
Would that imply that they set out to make this thing short from the start? Because I'd imagine if there were excessive reshoots before finally being cut down, the budget would have ballooned instead of shrunk.

Basically, one of the conceits of the books is that the same thing happens over and over again with things turning out differently each time. The movie is basically a new cycle, instead of telling one of the already written ones.
Deadline is saying $27-30M on Friday for DM3.
They have Baby Driver at $5.3-6.3M on Friday, and Wonder Woman at $4-5M.
No Friday total for the House, but they are projecting $10-12M for the entire weekend.
They are expecting about $14M for Transformers 5 for the entire weekend. Behind the first 3 films I discussed above.

TF5 probably would have had a worse hold than Alien: Covenant if it opened on Friday.
$27-30M would mean $70-78M OW for DM3. Sunday will have excellent holds, but Saturday will be subdued as a result.

Everything is on fire and I'm laughing.
Baby Driver would have to be on the low end and Wonder Woman on the high end. I think that Deadline's Friday range for Wonder Woman is strangely large too. We'll know more tonight I guess.
Holy shit. I was busy and didn't see that it was down 79% wed/wed. Even with previews that's pretty amazing. WW might very well top it given how they are both tracking. They're only $300k apart for Thursday actuals.

That reported budget is complete bullshit. DT easily cost Sony at least $100-$150 million before marketing.
Wonder Woman most likely will top it.
I think that the high end of Deadline's Friday for Wonder Woman is too high though. $5M would require an 86.5% bump for WW on Friday, which given the theatre drop and competition seems optimistic. $4.5-4.7M seems doable though. Sat will not be up much from that, but Sun should be nearly flat. So maybe $15Mish this weekend? Monday will be nearly a holiday in terms of business too.
Is this a gut feeling or based on something?
I have never heard of this comic. Good for the creator though!
Transformers was down 82% from last Friday in China. Worse than expected.

So, anyone still willing to bet that whole 'Valerian will bomb' thing?
Also, TF5 dropping like a rock is hardly a 'called it', but still.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Wow, yikes.
If The Last Knight does indeed have a $14M weekend, the same legs as Age of Extinction after this weekend will give it a domestic total of $125M.
Here's how long it took the previous films to clear $125M domestic.
Transformers - 5 days
Revenge of the Fallen - 3 days
Dark of the Moon - 4 days
Age of Extinction - 6 days

Or they are simply being cautious and kinda smart for once, instead of blowing huge 150+ mil budget and planning a huge franchise out of an unknown property. Start small, build up. Frankly lot more franchise attempts should have been more modest beginnings instead of ending up with huge financial losses from the get go and a DOA universe.
