“Wonka” is getting RAVE reviews

OP= Timothee Chalamet

The early (read: studio picked critics) reviews for Flash were good too

You knew the critics were going to be friendly to it. His PR has great relationships with all the Hollywood rags. Ultimately, whether or not it will have legs at the box office is going to depend on word of mouth.

It’s predicted to make little money at the box office.

Mouseface McRatboy is a Revelation! I Laughed! I Cried! I Shat My Depends!

We shall see r4. Those predictions are wrong all the time

What makes it a "holiday" classic other than its release date?

Critics are dishonest all the time. For the past several years they've been paid to praise Mouseboy as the greatest thing to ever happen to Hollywood.

These sound like gushing from selected fans rather than critics. Even the comments they picked say the movie is far from perfect.

No one expects it to be perfect r9. No movie is perfect these days.

I'm waiting til hear from Lynn Stairmaster before I make up my mind!

Sounds like Chalamet may sneak into the Oscar race. Seems clear he’ll at least get a GG nomination.

R12: At best he gets a GG nomination and doesn't even deserve that from what I've seen in the clips and trailers.

The critics also RAVED over the Johnny Depp remake. There were lots of "truer to the book", etc. but the audiences didn't agree. In the end, the audiences will decide.

The Johnny Depp one was a blockbuster

New blind item out saying Timmy wears lifts in his shoes because he hates being short. Same as Tammy Cruise.

R16: Totally ridiculous how some sites have his height listed at 6'0." He's clearly about the same height as Tom Holland.

Sure, OP. Sure.

Timmy is so cute.

Timmy'd be for more believable as the glum Rat who can't carry a tune in a bucket, taking it out on the Chipmunks.

far*

R19 ummm ok? It still has mostly good reviews lmao

But, r23, the OP claimed "RAVE," all caps. Even you, amidst your laughter, must recognize that "mostly good reviews" do not "RAVE" reviews make.

The majority of critics also say that Hugh Grant basically steals the movie. Which would be fine, were the movie's title "Oompah."

The GG nominations are out. "Best Male Actor in a Comedy or Musical" looks like a set-up for Timothee.

IDK, though. I've seen only "Air," and I am a fan of Matt Damon, but a GG for this role? Nope.

R25: I think it will go to either Giamatti or Wright. Remember Wonka didn't get in for Best Comedy or anywhere else. If Mouseboy does previal, then the GG will just confirm to everybody what a bought and paid for, shameless cheeseball organization they really are.

Timmy was right up/down there with JLaw's nomination for No Hard Feelings.

Is this a proper musical? Songs throughout rather than a few songs in the beginning half then jack shit until the end?

Reviewers say yes, r28; director says no.

How nice for Timothée. How nice for moviegoers. How nice for everybody!

r29, I might see it then if the songs continue through the middle and to the end. I don't need it to be ALL music, but I don't like it when the songs are all bunched up at the beginning.

Even Beach Blanket Bingo had songs all the way to the end.

[quote][R16]: Totally ridiculous how some sites have his height listed at 6'0." He's clearly about the same height as Tom Holland.

He's not that short.

Armie Hammer is 6'5" and he didn't dwarf Chalamet.

R26, this narcissistic cunt isn't winning a GG or anything else.

According to the Internets, Timothee is 5'10".

Poor haters.

So jealous of Timmy's success.

I have a feeling that Austin Butler is the one trashing Timmy.

What a psycho!

R36, your Timmy would shit on you rather than look at you, trust me.

Why would a co-star of an actor "trash" him, r36? Wouldn't that potentially hurt their movie?

I like Tim a lot but have absolutely no interest in this film.

"Tim," R39?

NOT a "RAVE," OP:

Rave for Timothee as an actor per se, but not really HERE (although the fault is deemed the director's), and definitely no "RAVE" for the movie, OP:

NOPE again, OP, this one a bit tougher on Timmy:

In a world where The Super Mario Bros. Movie can make $1.4 billion, anything can happen.

R44: Indeed.

I bet this one's legs will be as skinny as Timmy's.

R45, Kids home from school, parents need a break. Maybe adults will keep it going, but I doubt it.

They're probably hoping the film makes most of its money quickly before word of mouth spreads about its musical aspect.

I'm so happy for my cute little twink Timmy!

Haters be DAMNED.

So I saw it last night. I enjoyed it. This would be my recommendation: If you like Timothee Chalamet and musicals, you will like this. If you don't like either or both of those things, you will hate it. Chalamet is the whole movie and it's a sweet musical.

So it's for fans of Timothee Chalemet. Well, I can see that point, r50, as Austin Butler is the only reason I will go to see "Dune: Part2," Timmy's lead role notwithstanding. I otherwise pretty much dislike most Sci-Fi movies.

Interesting that you say Chalamet is "the whole movie," given the crowded cast (especially Hugh Grant). Nothing more to add? His singing? Acting? Comparison to Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp? Charm? Whimsy?

Are you a fan of musicals (the actual director said "Wonka" is NOT a musical, but whatever)? I haven't read any praise whatsoever for the score. "Hummable" was the highest, FWIW.

To me, "it's a sweet musical" means I would find "Wonka" utterly boring treacle.

Some reviews say this is the best of the Willy Wonka films, and others say the plot is a convoluted mess with forgettable songs. Some reviews say he's great and not derivative of Wilder and Depp, and others say he's miscast and lacks the charm/playfulness required for the role. I agree with the poster: if you like him and musicals, you will like this. If you hate him and/or musicals, you will probably hate this.

It has an 82% positive on RT. So I would say it’s getting mostly good reviews r52. It isn’t as 50/50 as you’re making it sound. Most are saying it’s a charming and delightful surprise.

R53: I'm not an expert in Rotten Tomatoes or other ratings system but I did see that it has a 65 on Metascore.

OP it has 65 Metascore based on 53 reviews. It may be getting a few raves but on average it's just average. Unlike the 1971 film Wonka will be best appreciated by young kids.

I wonder if it will flop once people figure out it’s a musical. They really have hid that in the advertising.

R56 It's one of the few live action Christmas releases for young kids and I suspect it will do well at the box office.

Pedopalooza.

Here we go.

So I am at the theater right now to see it (it starts at 7:15) and my showing is sold out and it’s a lot of older white people. And I don’t mean 20s/30s. I mean like old grey haired couples.

and you R60? a spring chicken I assume!

R61 not a spring chicken but 37 years old.

A hit. Fuck all you haters.

A hit this weekend but wait until word gets out that it’s a children’s musical.

I eat Timmee's shit.

R65 = Austin Butthead Butler.

So jealous of Timmy's success.

HATERRRRRRRRR.

It really is getting massive reviews!

World premiere December 10

The clips I heard in a review on NPR sounded like a polished high school production. Chalamet’s voice, while sufficient, does not impress.

r68 US premiere, it's already been out for a week in many countries

R66, Why would that be?

R69 good thing he’s an actor and not professional singer.

Fangirls really will excuse anything

I saw it tonight and it was actually very cute. I agree with the critics that say it would be better if it was shorter. It’s only 2 hours but doesn’t need to be. It would have been better at 90 minutes.

However, the songs are cute and it’s a lot of fun at times and Timmy is so good and charming.

Beautiful Boy.

the supporting players all look dreary.

What's the point of the little black girl, other than Wokeism?

RAT 🐀 Boy certainly did not get rave reviews for his

SCRAWNY ASS in Call Me By Your Name.

R77 ummm she’s a part of the story. Your weird obsession with race isn’t anyone else’s business. Quit bringing it up.

This is for you, R77.

Sorry R80 is for R78.

Damn Hugh looks ghastly in r68s pic

Do the British age well in general?

[quote] I'm waiting til hear from Lynn Stairmaster before I make up my mind!

Oscars for everyone! Especially for the child who plays Augustus Gloop!

Godzilla minus one got rave reviews too. It’s perfectly diverting in the first half, grinds to a halt for most of the second half, and ends fine though a bit silly. It doesn’t deserve rave reviews.

I think we are so amazed that movies are being made that aren’t superhero movies that we get a bit carried away.

R84 I think you’re thinking a bit too much and fail to realize everyone likes different things. Get a hobby if you don’t want a job.

Timmy can do something that most other young A-list actors cannot do.

He can sing!

r85: Pot, thy name is kettle.

The original movie flopped in 1971. It wasn’t until frequent screenings on TV that it became a classic.

R85 thinks a couple of light observations I made at r84 is “thinking too much.” He then goes on to offer several retarded observations. Says it all about r85.

I just don't get why this wraith is getting so much hype. His skinny body was cringeworthy in Call Me By Your Name.

r90 Because he's willing to do whatever it takes to succeed and the industry establishment likes people who will play their games. Plus his family have good connections. Conan O'Brien has told a story about how, long before Chalamet got any kind of decent role, his uncle was taking him to industry parties

[quote] Conan O'Brien has told a story about how, long before Chalamet got any kind of decent role, his uncle was taking him to industry parties

Pass around bottom?

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry Hertz

Chalamet seems to be a Gene Wilder fan / But he can’t live up to the original candyman / He’s flat, and he’s grating, and he can’t sing a tune / The heartthrob is best off on the sands of Dune.

R91 the industry isn’t looking at some bottom who got fucked in senate hall. You’re truly a retard and I feel sorry for your family.

Why the fuck are you bringing up the Senate bottom? Another mental break from you?

Most likely just the continuation of the same mental break.

R72, generally, when someone is cast as the lead in a musical they can do more than carry a tune.

[quote]generally, when someone is cast as the lead in a musical they can do more than carry a tune.

Occasionally someone is cast as the lead in a musical and can't even do that.

I saw Wonka today. It's a charming, fun, sad, great middle of the road, family holiday film.

I wanted to be really smitten by it, but I wasn't.

And no, Chalamet's singing and dancing, such as it is, doesn't impress, BUT, for me, I can't deny it- Chalamet charmed me, he appealed to me.

Chalamet earned my respect. He went whole hog on playing Wonka. His performance is earnest, straightforward, no hedging behind a knowing, ironic wink.

[quote]His performance is earnest, straightforward, no hedging behind a knowing, ironic wink.

Given the character of Wonka, isn't that actually a massive failure though? In fairness to him, I think the blame for that belongs more with the writers and the Dahl estate who are clearly so terrified of being cancelled that they want everything to be bland and harmless now.

I'll defer to your greater knowledge of Dahl's work, r100.

I've never read the book. I do know from what I've viewed of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" that, indeed, Gene Wilder's Wonka has an edgy, almost air of sinister about him.

This Wonka is devoid of any of that, however, it is an origin story, set when he's idealistic and young. Perhaps that's a betrayal of Dahl's creation of Wonka, but, I'll bow out of any argument about that since I haven't read the book.

I don’t think I’ll see Wonka, but if Timmy does a musical about his Tiny Horse, I’ll go see it.

I watched it last night and was entertained but it lacks the bite of the Wilder version. This Wonka is just a determined underdog who perseveres against a corrupt chocolate lobby. It's more Dickens than Dahl, with a dash of Dr. Seuss. Hugh Grant's Oompa Loompa is the most interesting because we've never seen an Ooompa Loompa with any kind of individuality before. He gets the funniest moments and lines although it's difficult to see how such a character would translate to the Oompa Loompas we know from previous versions.

I don't know how the director can claim it's not a musical because there are musical numbers throughout. Timmy isn't much of a singer but the songs are tailored to his limitations with the supporting cast doing a lot of the work. Kids will probably like it but I can't see it becoming a classic.

Does he sing "Pure Imagination"?

Yes, r104

r103, you said much better what I tried to convey in my post at r99.

Yes, it's a musical. How that can be denied, I'll never know, especially by the director.

I posted either in this thread or another Wonka thread that, from the trailers alone, they reminded me of those UK over-produced musicals "Oliver!" and "Scrooge" from the 60s and 70s.

Not saying that's a bad thing, but still.

Wonka was #1 at the Box Office opening day raking in $10.9M

I saw it on Friday night. I thought it was cute and funny.

It’s a big hit. There is an article on Deadline that talks about all the crass marketing tie ins.

Congratulations Timmy on becoming a movie star.

[quote] There is an article on Deadline that talks about all the crass marketing tie ins.

They're confusing Wonka with that dog shit movie BARBIE.

R109: $39M on a $125 million dollar budget. You call that a big hit?

Yes, it’s a big hit.

They're hoping this has long legs, be interesting to see how much drop off there is next week, now the secret is out that it's a musical

estimated $39M opening weekend

[quote] [R109]: $39M on a $125 million dollar budget. You call that a big hit?

It's not a gangbusters opening, but it's pretty good for the December weeks before the holidays. December holiday released films have a stealth success in that even the ones that open with less than spectacular numbers can make it up in the two weeks of holiday vacation time.

Saw it last night and really enjoyed it.

I choked up a little at the end with Noodle.

I'm not really a musical fan but the songs were cute and not annoying as I usually find them.

Loved Abigail!

It's already made $151M Worldwide. What are you expecting? That is a big achievement a week before Christmas, when it will rake even more dough both in the US and abroad. You may not like Timothee, but he has another hit movie under his belt.

R117: It should’ve done more than $39M considering it had no real competition this weekend.

People are shopping!!!

I have an irrational hatred of this twink.

I saw this quote and it’s highly accurate:

"... and while i’m at it, fuck timothée chalamet you toothpick built, shovel shaped, bicycle seat face ass bitch. what an evil, frail man"

But no awards, r117. No awards.

R113, Why do you "hope" this? What's it to you?

Apologies, r113! I completely misread your post!

Hollywood is keeping its musicals on the down low.

I'm so happy for twinky Timmy!!!!

For r66: Enemies!

My tween daughter wanted to see this, so we went this afternoon. It was an okay movie. As an "origin story" it was completely different from the previous two movies (Wilder, Depp) but it wasn't horrible. It wasn't great either. It was a pleasant way to waste a couple hours while my kid had fun.

None of the actors had too much work to do, I think. Nobody stuck out as particularly good or bad. The story became predictable early on and there were no twists in the thin plot. It was simply a small confection. I doubt it has any legs at all. Since it was cheapo day at Regal, I only spent $11.98 on two tickets, so I think I got my money's worth. BTW, the huge theater was sparsely filled.

Timothée Chalamet in his alligator brown chocolate suit.

He liked it! He really liked it!

The film seamlessly blends together story and music, as Chalamet finely sings the song “Pure Imagination” from the 1971 film and this film’s lesser new song “A World of Your Own,” The sentimental film is enjoyable as solid family fare and makes for a candy-colored colorful watch.

-Dennis Schwartz Grade B

Does Timmy get naked in the movie?

Yes, r131, and covered in chocolate!

[quote]Does Timmy get naked in the movie?

He exposes his lack of singing talent.

R133: Lack of acting talent too.

From just the comments here by people who have seen it, I'm getting the impression "Wonka" is not a movie an adult would sit through twice, willingly. That is, it's sweet and pleasant and charming, as is the lead, but compelling, it is not. A Christmas confection, I think one actual reviewer wrote.

Does Timmy fuck a peach in this movie?

No, a sugar plum.

No, an everlasting gobstopper

[Quote] It’s predicted to make little money at the box office.

So much for predictions R4

Warner Bros/Village Roadshow/Heyday Films’ Wonka had a sweet weekend with an estimated $39.1M in 77 overseas markets for a jump of 17% from last session. The offshore cume is now $244.4M with global at $386.9M (which includes domestic’s Monday estimate). Increases were seen in France (+92%), Netherlands (+60%), Germany (+40%), Italy (+29%), Argentina (+29%), Mexico (+20%), Australia (+12%) and Spain (+8%). Additional strong holds were seen in the UK (-8%), Brazil (-9%) and Japan (-15%).

[Quote] They're probably hoping the film makes most of its money quickly before word of mouth spreads about its musical aspect.

you're right about one thing R48 it did make its money quickly. Last year's Elvis grossed $142.5 million after 55 days in release while Wonka made $142.7 million in just 18 days

The hater is so out of touch. It made over $23 million this weekend, and saw a 32.7% rise this weekend, up from last weeks $18 million

So I went back to see it with my husband and I really loved it this time. On a second listening, I love the songs. I may go again.

R142

Probably the wrong thread, but that's appropriate everywhere

[Quote] I'm getting the impression "Wonka" is not a movie an adult would sit through twice, willingly.

R135 try sitting through the 31/2 hours of Killers of the Flower Moo0on once!

VarietyPeter Debruge (Killers of the Flower Moon)

. . . But it keeps going and going until everyone we care about is dead, dying or behind bars, with nearly an hour still in store.

[quote] I'm getting the impression "Wonka" is not a movie an adult would sit through twice, willingly.

Neither was that DOG SHIT BARBIE movie, but it still did well at the box office.

So what's your point, dumbass?

You're just a Timmy hater, so you can fuck right off!

Summer and Christmas, r147. FTR, I haven't seen either movie.

I don't "hate" Timmy, Timmystan. I just can't get past his Harpo hair and Ginsu jawline enough to take him seriously as an actor. His persistence in presenting himself as a Rapper doesn't help. (He's no Eminem.)

The irrational Timmy hater sound so much like the Barbie hater a few months ago, ranting about how much the film will flop, and when I didn’t, he switched gears and bemoaned about how stupid everyone were to go see it.

🎉🥳🎊🍭🥳🎉🎊🎈🎆🥳

This movie looks so cute.

And Timmy is adorable, as usual.

He is a bona fide A-LISTER!

[quote]He is a bona fide A-LISTER!

Was that meant to be a sitcom-style setup for a spit take?

Shut up, R152.

Haters to the back of the line.

You can suck on some BRITISH VOGUE, while you're waiting back there.

He shall eternally flop and that includes Bob Dylan. Still no links about how Wonka being profitable, huh?

[quote] He shall eternally flop

Um, NO.

It hasn't happened yet, and the jobs keep lining up for Timmy.

I love it!

In high school R154 was voted most likely to die alone

[quote] Wonka has proven popular with audiences and critics alike; it holds approval from 83% of its 294 Rotten Tomatoes reviews from critics, while 91% of the site's users who have rated the movie reported enjoying it

✝️ TIMMY IS BELOVED BY ALL ✝️

[quote] Those numbers give Wonka an edge in passing two key movies on the year. It will likely pass The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes as the seasonal victor by next weekend, as its gross will be over $160 million through New Years Day. But with potentially a floor of at least $180 million domestic, it would actually be the only film to outgross Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour since its release and the highest-grossing film at the box office since the Barbenheimer phenomenon. That will make it one of the top 10 films of the year domestically.

and R162 brings that and so much less to this thread

R162 is Austin Butler, the jealous Timmy hater.

R165, You are beyond stupid. It is to Austin's distinct advantage to praise Timothee, for the former has a major role in and stake in the success of "Dune: Part Two."

Well it doesn't necessarily mean that Austin Buttface can't still be a jealous hater of Timmy's success.

Austin has always been jealous of Timmy's career.

So even if they're working together on the same project, Austin can still resent Timmy.

He definitely seems the type. He's a weirdo.

The Timmy haters and the Wonka musical haters have nobody to blame but themselves. If he gets more work because of this, it's because you watched the movie. All you had to do was not watch the movie.

I didn’t watch the movie. Doesn’t change the fact that Timmy serves up nothing but hot garbage at every opportunity, professional and personal.

^ Obsessed with Timmy

Why would those who hate him go to watch him in a children's movie, R168? That's for the sad cases here who actually attend a kids' movie because they have a hard-on for this no-ass, no-talent.

R167, Now you are being the weirdo. Your "Austin has always been jealous of Timmy's career" has no basis in verifiable fact, no interviews, no nothing to support your idiotic assertion.

Now if you had said Austin was envious of Leo's career trajectory from his youth, I might agree.

If he’s straight, he’s a whore for fucking a damned Kardashian for the press coverage.

If he’s gay or bi and doing this for the press, he’s a fool.

These trashy, soulless people ALWAYS bring down the men in their lives, simply for the clicks.

R173: Moving to LA and his new agent have turned him into a vampire. A vampire who will do literally anything and anyone for more fame and power. Furthermore, Kylie was clearly his new agent's idea since Swardstrom retired in March and the Kylie pap stunt began in April.

But when does he fuck a PEACH???!!!!

[quote] Part of Wonka's success certainly speaks to the continued value of the IP, but it also cements Chalamet as a true movie star. Prior to release, the film was positioned as a true test of the actor's ability to open a film, and its success confirms his status as a box office draw. Few young actors have achieved such a position in the new blockbuster movie landscape, but, after Little Women and Dune, Chalamet has evidently become a figure whose star power can sell a movie.

Fuck off fangirl. Wonka still isn't profitable. FYI it doesn't mean he'll always be a consistent box office draw or that he'll get more work from one film.

How can people be as invested as r181 in hoping someone will fail at something? It astounds me anew each time I read such screed. What's wrong with people like that? And don't mutter the usual bullshit about pointless bitchery. This crosses over from "pointless bitchery" to psychopathy. I can't imagine hating someone this much, particularly someone I don't even know.

R182: It's fangirls like you who are the true psychopaths. The way you attack anyone who isn't ideologically compliant and who doesn't worship at the altar of your Lord Chalameh. Seriously, other than his fake relationships and his gender neutral dresses, what is about this no-ass, no-talent that has captivated the world?

[quote] FRIDAY MIDDAY: Warner Bros’ Wonka is looking to rule its third out of fourth weekend at the box office with around $12M, -46%, though it won’t be shocking if Saturday matinees push the Timothee Chalamet movie even higher. Wonka is in play at 3,817 and is eyeing a Friday of $3.8M, -56%

🔥🌟TIMMY CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE BOX OFFICE THAT WE ARE JUST RENTERS OF 🌟🔥

Wonka should be nominated for Best Picture and Best Actor at this year's Academy Awards.

Both Timmy and Wonka deserve it.

And they didn't have to pay $100,000,000 in brainwashing/advertising to do it!

The movie made money because the acting and story are both good.

Any argument a person can make to nominate that PINK DOG SHIT BARBIE movie for an Oscar, can be made for Timmy and Wonka!

Ah the deranged fangirl is off her meds again. The same fangirl who is so confident that her Lord Chalameh’s Wonka is profitable she posts the same Deadline article to both threads.

You're the one who seems deranged, r194.

Rancid breathed moron / r194 I have posted links from at least 10 different legitimate websites that lovingly detail KING TIMMY’S march to world domination…domination of our HEARTS.

I’m just shocked that there are enough people who think anything at all about this person to generate a 200+ comment thread on this pathetically trafficked website.

Just wait until Dune 2 premieres.

Timmy is ON FIRE right now, and when Dune 2 opens, he will probably be the hottest A-list actor in Hollywood, regardless of age.

I, for one, will revel in the river of tears from his HATERS!

R209: Dune 2 has to make double what the first one made to break even, let alone even think of making a third for some reason. I, for one, will revel when the fangirls have to put on suicide watch.

[quote] Those ticket sales weren’t enough to topple “Wonka,” which claimed first place again with $14.4 million in its fourth weekend of release.

You fangirls make the haters hate him even more.

SEETHE, R212.

SEEEEEEETHE!!!!

[quote] Musical fantasy "Wonka" hung on atop the North American box office this weekend, taking in an estimated $14.4 million as Hollywood hoped for a boost from the annual Golden Globe awards, industry analysts said Sunday.

[quote] The Warner Bros. film, the top performer of the Christmas season, reached the $165 million mark domestically and passed $300 million internationally in its fourth weekend out, which Variety called "a triumphant result for the Timothee Chalamet vehicle."

I expect TImothee to win the GG: Musical or Comedy Actor tonight.

Haven't seen Wonka but I think it will go and probably should go to Paul Giamatti

[quote] I expect TImothee to win the GG: Musical or Comedy Actor tonight.

Over Paul Giamatti or Jeffrey Wright? You're a dreamer.

YES! He made an ass out of himself and lost another golden globe.

[quote] YES! He made an ass out of himself and lost another golden globe.

Just being nominated is an accomplishment.

Oh this is hilarious, Selna Gomez asked Timothee if she could have a photo with him and Kylie said no. Guess we know who's in charge in that relationship - as if the staged pap walks weren't a hint. He's going to be on the next season of the Kardashian show I bet

R222: I can barely hear what she's saying. Who knows if that's what she said.

Kylie said "Ther's no way in hell that that's gonna happen, honey"

“Get to steppin!”

[quote] Turning to Wonka, the Paul King-directed musical added $28.9M, also in 77 overseas markets. The drop was a terrific 27% and holds are strong including in Netherlands (+6%), Brazil (-16%), France (-17%), Spain (-17%), Italy (-22%), Mexico (-26%), Australia (-26%), Germany (-32%), and Japan (-33%).

[quote] The international cume to date is $301.2M with global at $465.8M, well on the way to $500M+ in the coming weeks. IMAX reps $16.1M worldwide. Korea, which has a fondness for Hollywood musicals, is the final market to release and is dated on January 31

R226: Not at the Golden Globes.

You can’t win all the time, even PRINCE TIMMY. Only a deluded fool, like you Matt Anscher, would expect that. Paul Giamatti deserved to win. TIMMY was honored with a nomination of one of the top five performances of 2023, surrounded by his fellow Academy Award winners and nominees.

❤️🥹⭐️TIMMY looked wonderful last night. ⭐️🥹♥️

R228: You’re the same deluded fangirl who said he unequivocally would win Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical. Lol! No in all seriousness my condolences to his career but you can blame Kylie for that.

I did not make that statement r229. Are you so stupid you can’t use ignoredar to check?

Even I did not expect Tim O'Tay to win last night. It was Giamatti's night, and everyone knew it. Top Five Timmy looked wonderful, and would have looked even better sans skank.

R231: He looked ugly and his PR stunt was a total fail. Suck it fangirls!

god get that fucking cunt away from my little mouse prince or else i swear i'll rip her tits off

Dear R229 and R232.

Read the card and WEEP!

Your life will never be as good as Timmy's.

He was at the front of the room, which is the VIP section.

So YOU suck on that. CUNT!

R234: All the celebrities are in the VIP in the front you stupid cunt. Ugly Timmy is now an Internet joke and a three time Golden Globe loser!!!

LOOK AT THE BEAUTY OF TIMOTHEE CHALAMET r232 AND DESPAIR

NO ONE LOVES LIKE HIM. YOU ARE UNLOVED, UNWANTED, FORGOTTEN.

KILL YOUR SELF MATT ANSCHER.

He gets to go home with that.

Timmy looks so sweet here!

Love the outfit.

Timmy doesn't have to walk around to talk to people.

THEY come to HIM.

He’s ugly, slight, fey, and affected. He’s thinks he’s a prince but actually a nauseating loser.

Haha look at the cunt squad being incredulous that Kylie Jenner said NO PHOTOS to Selena Gomez.

BYE, CUNTS!

Oh, and fuck Taylor Swift!

R241: Are you sure that’s what really happened and that’s what Selena said? You can hardly hear what she’s saying in the video.

R229, That was I.

I just made a prediction, not a statement of Standom. I have never, believe it or not, watched a second of any Timothee Chalamet movie. Not a one.

I've seen him only on SNL (first episode was better, playing off Pete Davidson) and in a couple of his high school YouTube videos.

Good for Paul Giamatti and his pleasant little film, even if he essentially played his usual (IMO) character/mannerisms. The movie's star was the student Angus, played by Dominic Sessa, in looks a combination of musician Peter Wolf and serial killer Richard Ramirez.

He abandoned any shred of credibility he had left.

It's worldwide gross reached $465M in its 5th week. It's in 3,187 theaters and its theatrical run is far from finished to say nothing of upcoming Blu Ray sales and streaming services. Done deed!

Wonka' domestic gross is $165.2 after 25 days of release compared to The Hunger Games at $163.9M after 53 days in release.

🍿🎄🎉TIMMY SAVES HOLLYWOOD FOR XMAS🎉🎄🍿

Wonka is barely recouping P&A for a release of this size. If you sell you house for X amount of money you don't actually consider it a good or bad sale until you factor what you paid for it. These are the same idiots who think the new Dune will make a billion dollars...

Timmy snubbed at SAG!

I already played the Dune slot machine in Vegas, with a huge life-sized Timmy on the slot machine screen.

So I'm really looking forward to the new Timmy Wonka slot machine coming up!!

Really, we’re supposed to impressed that a film of this scope has $500M? The idiots at Warner Brothers could’ve made a billion dollars if they had just cast Tom Holland.

Bwahahaha r280

You are a ugly unwanted unloved unfuckable TIMMY hater whose every prediction has been proven false

You dwell in a fetid stew of your own misery and Datalounge laughs and enjoys your sadness and despair

It probably goes without saying, but block pederast R277 and half this thread disappears.

How pathetic that someone who admires a 27 year old actor is accused of being a "pederast."

R282 has major psychological problems.

Not to mention that it seems like R282 is probably deflecting from his own pederastic proclivities.

"Reward" is not "award." Learn the difference.

[quote] Warner Bros’ Wonka added £2.2m – a 40.7% drop – to reach a huge £56.2m. It is already the third-highest-grossing release of 2023, behind Barbie (£95.5m) and Oppenheimer (£58.4m); another fortnight in cinemas should see it move into second place on that list

Do you know Austin Butler personally r304?

Unlike Barbie and Oppenheimer, the industry doesn't seem to be celebrating it and touting it as a hit.

$150 million domestic ain't chicken feed

I wouldn't put too much bank in Chalamet. I think there were other factors like a weak market and an appealing IP for family viewing.

Are you a casting director, producer, director or an entertainment industry executive r308?

R304, Really?

Let's see tonight the acting chops of both TC and AB, as they visit Jimmy Kimmel to promote "Dune: 2."

Obviously, Timmy will be seated closest to Jimmy.

Timmy is the STAR of Dune.

Austin is just a bit player.

Florence Pugh and Zendaya will be Kimmel as well.

Try to ignore me, r315.

R317: Indeed. Austin has a greater shot at longevity.

Get ready for one loooong month of press and douchebag outfits.

if all four of them are on that solves the seating thing.

Here they are

Imagine if they genuinely got along.

R322: Says a lot about WB's confidence that Chalamet alone is a draw. No fangirls, the appealing IP and Paul King was the draw for Wonka.

Wonka's slaying the competition. After 7 weeks it's still in 2,901 theaters and was number #5 on Friday just slightly ahead of Mean Girls at #6

R324: The draw was Paul King and an appealing IP for family viewing you dumbass. Oh yeah he has such "star power" that Warner Brothers is making him do every single press interview with Austin Butler, Zendaya, AND Florence Pugh.

Just hedging their bets, r326; just hedging their bets. Attract as many younger fans as possible.

.01% of people knows who Paul King is r326

The main attraction is as TIMMY…as you know

Seethe harder.

And get ready to see Timmy’s face EVERY DAY for the next month and the entire month of March

One thing that the Timmy ❤ Loon has accomplished is that I can see only Timothee Chalamet in a costume, not Willy Wonka. Zero suspension of disbelief, even on a fantasy level.

It's just Timmy.

R340, Actually, we don't. But then, people aren't "haters" simply because they aren't big fans of any particular actor. I don't think anyone here has called another an "Austin Butler hater." Or a "Barry Keoghan hater." Or a "Paul Giamatti hater."

Whatever problems I may have in life, at least I can be grateful that I'm not the sad "Prince Timmy" troll.

and it's in over 2,700 theaters while Aquaman is playing in1,363 and The Color Purple is no longer charting.

Having finally watched it on Amazon Prime, this is a warning that there is literally a song every five fucking minutes. It's not even about Wonka. It's more about the black girl (and the actress is beyond awful). Mouseboy was insipid and certainly can't carry a tune.

How much would be a huge amount for a beloved story say The Color Purple which made a little over $60M domestic gross .💣💣💣

[quote] “Wonka” has generated $210 million in North America and $395.1 million internationally for a towering worldwide tally of $604.9 million. It’s a notable milestone because only seven films that were released in 2023 managed to surpass the $600 million mark.

Not in seethe mode, r370. E.g., I hope Timmy has an equally gargantuan Box Office with "Dune: Part 2." 😉 🦲

Sorry, r371. But no.

It was never going to win the BAFTA. It's so unusual for a family film to be nominated for Outstanding British Film that the nomination is enough of an honour. It's similar to the way that it's a massive achievement for the creator when the occasional animated film is nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, but there's no realistic chance of a win.

R372: And the Oscars shut it out completely.

Warner Bros. Discovery stock plunges as movie flops ‘The Color Purple,’ ‘Aquaman’ sink earnings -Story by Alexandra Steigrad

Warner Bros. Discovery on Friday reported worse-than-expected quarterly earnings — due in large part to box office flops from its movie studio — sending the media giant’s shares plummeting 10%.

However, studio business revenue sank 17% in the fourth quarter, following lackluster results from highly-anticipated releases such as the musical version of “The Color Purple,” featuring Fantasia Barrino and Taraji P. Henson, and “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” starring Jason Momoa.

The Color Purple has earned $60M after 58 days in release; Wonka made $63M in 8 days

The planets revolve around the Sun; Wonka made $63M in 8 days.

and Wonka eclipsed Mean Girls, Aquaman, The Color Purple. The Killers of the Flower Moon, Napolean, The Boys in the Boat, The Marvels . . .

Wonka (2023) is Willy Wonka’s origin story. It depicts the early days of the chocolatier before he became the sole owner of a chocolate factory.

Wonka may be getting a sequel

“Wonka,” the prequel to Roald Dahl’s beloved “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” received widespread acclaim and commercial success upon its release in 2023. Directed by Paul King and featuring a star-studded cast led by Timothée Chalamet, the film explored the early days of Willy Wonka’s journey as an aspiring chocolatier. With the film’s positive reception, fans have been eagerly anticipating news of a potential sequel.

The 1994 flick has lost its crown Dune: Part Two, which has been deemed 'visually thrilling' and 'narratively epic' by critics days before its official release on March 1. The Warner Bros movie has a 9.4 rating on IMDB from viewers who went to an early screening of the Sci-Fi epic on Sunday, along with a 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Dune 2 will help Warner Bros recover it losses from The Color Purple

Yes, "Dune: 2" will be a massive success.

Pre-release ratings are notoriously manipulated and non-organic. Studios have the means to jack these things up to entice the opening weekend. Let's see if it stands the test of time after thousands of moviegoers review it and not just studio shills.

We will laugh at the pain of r419 when it’s widely confirmed that Dune 2 is a massive success and ♥️TIMMY❤️star power increases

Dune's domestic gross reach $123M in days and Dune is still in the top 10 after 21/2 months in release

Just gorgeous. And if you can't see it, poor you.

I envy him his hair.

I understand the reason (sand!), but for me the hospital nose tubes are off-putting (Paul, Chani, et al.).

Someone mentioned wanting to see Dune and I mentioned T. C. and they didn't know he was in it, or care.

(^.^) Sure, Jan

R435 Haha. Just two days ago.

Not tonight, OP. Not tonight.

R436 Did your 'friend' recently come out of a coma?

So is Timmy OP

I watched it this past weekend and it was okay. I didn't realize it was a haphazard-ish musical, because ole boy can't really sing. I also don't know what I think of Wonka's origin story. I don't think I needed it. My biggest complaint is with the video game cut scene visuals that reminded me a lot of the Kingsman movies and their artificial PS5 tones. By comparison, the visuals and effects in the Dune movies are very refreshing, and felt real and weighty. Something that's been a bit undone from so much MCU overload. It's easy to dunk on TC especially here on DL, but I don't hate the guy. I just don't get what the big deal is. He's okay.

Aren't reviews these days mostly bought and paid for?

R441 That didn't seem to help The Color Purple (2023). Even buying seats didn't help.
