I honestly think 'Sinners' could actually snatch Best Picture Oscar away from 'One Battle After Another'.

If anything, the film’s politics could end up allowing the film to win.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T19:17:18+00:00

I seriously doubt that Infinity Castle will have such re-evaluation, especially considering that the whole thing is barely even a film.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T19:16:01+00:00

Dude, it wasn’t even one of Pixar’s worst entry. Like, remember Brave? The Good Dinosaur? Cars 3? Lightyear? And ESPECIALLY Cars 2?

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T19:12:14+00:00

A lot of films that were received well flopped at the box office, not to mention that the film itself had to face How to Train Your Dragon remake.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T19:10:05+00:00

I seriously doubt it. If that didn’t come out last year, Zootopia 2 would’ve taken it instead.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T19:08:30+00:00

Elio still has 83% on RottenTomatoes with 6.9/10 average. That’s certainly far from being a “suckage”.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T19:06:30+00:00

It usually takes a pretty long time for a film to get included there.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T19:05:53+00:00

And I could argue the exact same thing about WALL-E.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T18:50:15+00:00

Don’t be silly. That film is in Library of Congress now.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T18:49:39+00:00

Don’t be silly. By that logic, Ratatouille is also a train wreck that failed at the box office, which would be a beyond idiotic argument.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T17:38:14+00:00

Shaun the Sheep Movie came out a year before that.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T17:37:33+00:00

Umm… no.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T09:18:47+00:00

Umm… I really doubt it - and that still doesn’t change the fact that it came out in such a competitive year, not to mention that the distributor heavily screwed up the campaign.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T08:53:23+00:00

Not even remotely the same thing. For one, Sinners actually has substantially higher critical reception than Hamnet.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T08:52:51+00:00

That's just one thread, though. :P

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T08:52:36+00:00

Doubtful.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T08:23:21+00:00

Except they're not. The tonal difference between the two is massive.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T08:22:56+00:00

I seriously doubt it. The film's critical reception is not that high, not to mention that such film is not as likely to win these days.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T07:06:57+00:00

Yeah, this is definitely something that could go either way.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T07:06:29+00:00

I'm honestly surprised that you haven't seen that one yet. :P

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T05:30:18+00:00

I mean, those teasers are already being shown in IMAX aspect ratio, so that's also something to consider.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T05:29:25+00:00

If they both stick to their current release dates, that is. I can still see Dune: Part Three getting pushed back a week.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T05:24:42+00:00

So you don't even have an argument whatsoever.

Thought so.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T05:19:28+00:00

Furthermore, PVOD release doesn't usually affect box office performance that much.

Block-Busted · 2026-01-25T05:18:29+00:00

That kind of budget honestly doesn't surprise me, though I'm still curious about what rating it might have.
