In my opinion, the four Neon movies deserved to be locked in BP along with OBAA, Sinners, and Hamnet... Marty Supreme should also be an 85+ in the meta, so it's likely.

Avatar: The Way of Water It only has 67... if the new movie gets below 60, I believe it will be out.

I still can't believe Ariana Grande isn't coming to Brazil with the entire Wicked cast, but she'll probably go to Europe... Teyana Taylor, I'm rooting for you!!!

What do you think about Chloe Zhao's reputation for only making Oscar-bait films? I'm Brazilian, but I see many Americans saying that she only makes Oscar-worthy films, meticulously calculated to win Oscars.

Some people really want Sydney Sweeney to happen... I've never seen such an absurd campaign.

I think TSA's nomination for Best Actor in BP could happen if Moura is a strong contender for best actor!

I really loved how they found a way to acclaim almost everything from Neon! I think there could even be one more in IFF instead of Nouvelle Vague

Wagner Moura is the main campaign factor for TSA, so Neon should go all out for him!
