Timothee's Wonka movie is shaping up to be a big hit!

OP is Timothee Chalamet

No he won't.

Hope this helps!

No — instead the academy will give Gene Wilder a posthumous Oscar nomination for his Wonka after they see this hot mess.

Of course it will be a hit. Timmo is a star! A true movie star.

Haters gonna weep.

The Wonka silliness is a career going off the rails.

I’d like to see Timmy’s wonka.

Never understood the appeal of the first and therefore less for this, although I am a fan of Tim.

R4: The only hit he's had was Dune and that was in spite of him. If people wanted to see him in movies, they would go see those movies. He's ugly both inside and out and can't act out of a wet paper bag.

In the Wonka clips I’ve seen, Tim’s line delivery is flat and without cadence. He’s overshadowed by the supporting actors who have better comedic skills. In comparison, he looks like some random guy who won a contest to be in a movie.

It's gotta be better than that crap with Johnny Depp.

I hated Depp’s version, but at least he was bizarre. Wonka is supposed to be eccentric, mysterious, and a bit sinister, not the cute guy from third period English class.

Yeah,…no. Wonka will be a horrific flop. I like the idea of an origin story, but Timothee is not the guy to play him. Terrible casting based on name recognition. Won’t work.

I find it very odd that he won't get a gym membership like the other actors his age. How does he expect to be the next Tom Cruise with an underdeveloped career AND body?

[quote] Wonka is supposed to be eccentric, mysterious, and a bit sinister, not the cute guy from third period English class.

Can the Gene Wilder version of Wonka be described as a bit sinister? I don't recall feeling that way other than his meltdown towards the end when he finds out Charlie and Grandpa drank the fizzy lifting drinks. For the most part he's cheerfully passive aggressive.

R16 “Cheerfully passive aggressive?”

Sounds like hype to me. Even if it has a great opening weekend it will then collapse in week 2. It’s a kids movie.

Shhhh … don’t tell anyone it’s bad.

[quote]Never understood the appeal of the first.

How sad.

Comments on r19's linked site turn quickly to antisemitism.

From linked article at R19:

[quote]A critic tells me it was “tonally way off”

In other words, “the lead actor was miscast.”

To me it looks tonally off regardless of the casting. This Wonka is all sweet, not sinister.

Perhaps the movie well address his ultimate transformation.

I don’t see how this Wonka will transform into a demented serial killer who uses midget slaves to murder children, but maybe Tim does an incredible Walter White character arc in the film.

Hope it's a hit.

It will be a hit…. at the Razzies.

I'm surprised there is no social media reaction to it posted by the military families who saw a screening of it a week or so ago.

Typical WB tactic of giving a select group early access and allowing them to tweet, Flash had similar positive tweets

Embarrassing performances, creepy CGI, awkward musical numbers, and A-list actors who probably were coerced through blackmail…. it’s CATS all over again.

[quote]Of course it will be a hit. Timmo is a star! A true movie star.

Well that'll be a big change considering all his films are box office flops - barely breaking even.

Variety:

[quote] ‘Wonka’ First Reactions Praise Timothée Chalamet as ‘Infinitely Charming,’ ‘Intoxicating’ and ‘Pitch-Perfect’

[quote] Gizmodo senior reporter Germain Lussier heaped praise on Chalamet, calling him the reason alone to see the film. “He’s infinitely charming & a blast to watch,” Lussier wrote, although he added: “The movie around him isn’t as good but it’s enjoyable. The story & tone fight against each other leaving it a bit muddled. And yet it’s filled with joy & the songs are delightful.”

"infinitely charming.....he's the reason alone to see the film...."

These days the films that get fawning reviews are usually not very good while the films with neutral or poor reviews are actually very good films.

[quote]Germain Lussier@GermainLussier:

[quote]I was already excited for Dune: Part Two of course, but now reading in GQMagazine that Timothee Chalamet saw Top Gun Maverick EIGHT TIMES while filming just has me even more hyped.

R31 Thanks for linking that totally unbiased review of Wonka by Germain Lussier, twink chaser extraordinaire..

It will be a hit because that that blonde, white boy ( I think his name was Charlie) has been replaced by a young Nubian princess.

Roald Dahl must be spinning in his grave over the black girl being a protagonist instead of playing an Oompa Loompa.

[quote] [R31] Thanks for linking that totally unbiased review of Wonka by Germain Lussier, twink chaser extraordinaire..

If you clink into the link for that Variety article, you would see at least 11 different first reaction reviews, 10 of which weren't Lussier.

But, yes, if you are patient, the haters will have their turn, probably closer to the general release of the film.

I hate the original so I won't be seeing whatever this is.

The film hasn’t been released, yet these paid influencers already RAVE about it. This is the same promotional move they pulled with Wonder Woman 2020. They paid influencers to tweet about how great it is. Also very telling that the review embargo doesn’t lift until next week. Film embargo’s are put in place for bad films not to get bad word of mouth before opening.

The film hasn't been released, yet the DL posters have declared it a flop and pray for its demise. Yet, they are not paid as the paid influencers are. So, who are the losers?

One of the paid for DM articles was about Kylie flying to London to support her "boyfriend" at the afterparty. How romantic.

Whatever.

I'm seeing it opening weekend.

And yes, I'm persuaded by what could only be called the rave reviews of paid influencers.

Shaping up to be a big hit. Timothee could win the Oscar if Bradley Cooper and Cillan Murphy cancel each other out. The reviews are rapturous!

R42 is Timothee

Even if he achieved a fantastic performance, it’s unlikely that he’ll be nominated for anything because it’s a fantasy film, and fantasy films are not treated with the same respect as serious dramas by the Academy.

I’ve aged out of this - good or bad. I get the twink actor connection to DL and yet don’t understand an interest in the film. December is the month adults get movies to watch & Willy Wonka is what ya’ll want to see?

Since Timothee is sure to be Oscar nominated this year, what do we think he will wear? Will it be a traditional tuxedo? Maybe he will duplicate Streisand's legendary pantsuit from 1969.

Timothée at the Paris premiere.

I just don't get why they keep making this stupid story in the first place. It’s awful.

Still wearing his boots with lifts

R47: Nobody told him this is a family friendly film and to wear something more conservative.

His face is finally getting more manly.

I watched one out-of-the-theatre reaction.

I don't claim that's a big enough statistical sample.

That person, however, did describe it how some us predicted - a solid, family holidays time movie. He also described Wonka as outright musical.

As for Chalamet, he said he 's very good, but you could see he was struggling with convincingly conveying the necessary "whimsical" aspects of the character.

Apparently he promised to greet people in the fan zone who waited for five hours in the cold but changed his mind once he got inside. Kids were apparently left in tears. Scumbag..

I agree-it’s shaping up to be a big shit!

I can see people boycotting the film for a number of reasons but I don’t know whether to believe the negative comments on Vogue, British Vogue, Cartier, and his personal IG about skipping Wonka over the Hamas joke.

What's "the Hamas joke"?

R56: He did a skit on SNL in which he played a frontman for a band called Hamas. The frontman is about to jump off a ledge because nobody is listening to his music. A passerby offers to hear his music so he spells out the name of the band H-A-M-A-S. The whole skit was tone deaf and vile. Thousands of negative comments are now online about how people should boycott Wonka.

Makes me want to see it all the more.

85% on Rotten Tomatoes but that’s just the early Sycophants.

Does Timmy wank in it?

He puts a chocolate dildo in his mouth and then his anus. 4 stars.

The reviews seem more mixed than the 85% on RT would suggest. A lot of 'it's fine, whatever' kind of reviews that then give it a high score

Agree. They seem so desperate to endorse a movie that is marginal at best because it’s “whimsical“and stars America’s sweetheart, Miss Chalamet.

The reviews seem to find it very old fashioned. And, as this is being sold on his appeal to audiences, it really will be the test as to if he can open and carry a film.

[quote]To Willy, chocolate is no mere confectionary treat. It’s a religion, something that will elevate you and change your day, your mood, your life. And that belief is incarnated in Chalamet’s deliriously infectious performance. It’s a trick to play someone this keen and innocent and eager and make him magnetically delightful, and Chalamet has the star charisma to bring it off.

So in other words, exactly as the trailer suggested, he was totally unable to convey anything of the danger or weirdness of Wonka

[quote]As a movie, “Wonka” may be the squarest big-scale Hollywood musical in decades. How square is it? In an era that has given us such visionary next-level musicals as “La La Land,” “Moulin Rouge!,” and the shockingly underrated “The Greatest Showman,” as well as such hip and vibrant Broadway adaptations as “Chicago,” “Hairspray,” “In the Heights,” “Mamma Mia!,” “Les Misérables,” and “Rent,” “Wonka,” as directed and co-written by Paul King (who made the “Paddington” films), plays like a more visually limber version of some singing-and-dancing relic from the late-studio-system era of “Oliver!” (1968) and “Scrooge” (1970). It’s so square it makes “Mary Poppins Returns” look edgy.

[quote]Chalamet presents his Wonka to us in charming, harmless Leading Man mode. He smiles the same smile he gives to red carpet fans as he takes soulless selfies, ripping through his lines at a rapid staccato. He sings, he twirls, he stretches his charisma thin. Every once in a while he breaks out of the mold, his angularity morphing into a little gremlin performing an inelastic imitation of Jim Carrey’s zaniness. Like so much of the movie, his stranger and more enticing tastes are coated in a thick, plain layer of milk chocolate. Chalamet is thankfully not trying to be Gene Wilder, though he sometimes skews near Johnny Depp’s off-putting performance simply by being so smoothed-down. You wonder how such a toothless character could even eat candy in the first place.

Metascore 67.

I can see why they promoted it heavily in Paris and London. It's possible for the film to flop if it falls off a cliff in the second weekend or the overseas market doesn't show up at all.

Will there be a soundrack album?

He's an aging has-been - get rid of him!

R38- Paid influencers are what used to be called publicists.

They've been trying to promote RAT BOY for years- hyping him into some kind of IT boy

more like an IT RODENT 🐭

He was a presenter at the Video Game Awards. He's becoming more Z list as we speak

R72 video games are bigger biz than movies. Also: he has Dune coming - play to the video boys. So I can’t agree.

Maybe in Dune part 2 they'll transition him so that he can be Feyd's wife - as was intended.

The slow cock penetrates the ass.

r73 It doesn't matter if the games industry is bigger, we're talking about a specific awards show. One that is of so little mainstream interest it wasn't even broadcast on TV. Even the People's Choice Awards gets a broadcast deal.

Take a look at the list of other presenters. Not exactly star-studded.

R76. I don’t really care. Saying he’s over is nuts I just looked up The Games Awards ratings. 103 million streams. So you’re wrong. Why do people have access to information & don’t bother looking?

And where did I say he was over? I said he's going Z list - doing trashy shit like dating a Kardashian, agreeing to host at the Game Awards, etc. The fact that you're trying to pretend I said something I didn't and you trying to defend him actually suggests you care quite a lot.

Flop.

I wish his big bent veiny dripping cock would flop into my greedy gaping mouth.

Timmy is one of the only genz actor with any hype atm. He’s far from being a Z list

T is playing Bob Dylan

[quote]Timmy is one of the only genz actor with any hype atm

Patently false, and either way what does hype matter when he lacks the talent to back it up?

R78 Just acknowledge you were wrong. Another example of lacking education

Timmy isn't the problem, it's all his annoying stans.

r84 You do realise how stupid you sound when you try to ascertain someone's level of education based on a post on a gossip site, right? Also, the fact that you're already resorting to ad hominem just says you can't actually defend your position.

While filming Wonka, he was such a dick to the crew that even he realised it. So he gathered them together and apologised and gave them each a gift to say sorry. An autographed photo of himself. His ego is out of control.

Doesn’t it have to make $75M in its opening weekend to have a chance of making its money back?

[quote]While filming Wonka, he was such a dick to the crew that even he realised it. So he gathered them together and apologised and gave them each a gift to say sorry. An autographed photo of himself. His ego is out of control.

I’m guessing that was Timothee; Gene Wilder would never have apologized.

R84 actually - you can. Again critical thinking is based on a set a rules that can diagram your response . A uni proff doesn’t know his students.

Proff, huh?

Sorry ladies, but it's already a box office smash. Timmy is a box office star.

I actually want to see it now.

Yea. Slang. Pretty standard. But you wouldn’t know that.

Oh, well, I'll just add that to my list of reasons to die

r94 Only if you think it's "proffessor"

It looks beyond stupid

R87: Extras were told not to stare at him.

He kept taking his clothes off - the little pervert!

R82: It’s nowhere close to getting made and his so called “star power” hasn’t had any effect in getting it off the ground.

RU sure R100

R101: He met with a vocal coach - so what? Magnold said back in April that production was going to start in August. This project has been around since 2020. He'll do the occasional pap walk with the guitar case in his hand to trick people into believing that the film is happening soon.

It has a 68 Metascore based on 90 reviews.

Young audiences may well be enchanted, but I’m sad to report I found the whole confection sickly sweet and hopelessly twee. -David Rooney THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTR

R130: All the user reviews on IMDB (assuming from people who watched it this weekend overseas) say it's pretty much a mixed bag.

[quote]Turns out, “Wonka” is the Willy Wonka origin story I never knew I always wanted. The prequel from writer-director Paul King (the “Paddington” films) explores and expands upon the wondrous world of Wonka in rich detail while also paying homage to the 1971 film in a subtle and satisfying way.

[quote]Kindness and teamwork are the golden tickets to realizing your dream, the movie tells us. It’s an old-fashioned and somewhat corny message. But in the extraordinary “Wonka,” it goes down smooth like chocolate.

Here you go.

I still want Timothee to sit on my face!

Wait your turn, R107

He is a star.

R109: No he isn't..

There you go.

They seem pretty iffy now about the box office. Hoping for $35 million, would be thrilled if it was $40. It needs to gross $250M to break even.

r112 Probably more like $300 million once marketing costs are included

Will he be Oscar nominated? No OP he's not even in the running. Bradley, Cillian, Leonardo and Paul are sure bets.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Killers of the Flower Moon

Jeffrey Wright, American Fiction

Bradley Cooper, Maestro

Paul Giamatti, The Holdovers

Why is Timmy going on talk shows in a ratty t-shirt and unwashed hair?

Elordi's mole has more of a chance than Timmy.

Did Elordi score a Golden Globe nomination for Priscilla or Saltburn?

R119 Shut up and bend over.

Bitchy comment from Deadline

Tim needed to fire his whole team a while ago. They have no plans to transition him into adulthood. His next planned roles are once again as 19 year olds. And why do they keep calling him “Little Timmy”? They are really signaling their plan to squeeze all the teen juice out of him and drop him next year, when he hits 30.

R121 Pretty boys are useless when they age out and get coarse.

Cry more, DL

Film for man babies

It's a kids' movie so nowadays it has to be bland and safe and nice. Even if they had an actor who could recreate Gene Wilder's performance with the sinister undercurrents, which is true to Roald Dahl, they wouldn't want to. Don't think it'll hurt Timothee's career that much. Adults will drag their kids to it for a few weeks, then it'll be repeated endlessly on TV every Christmas.

Timmy will go do some "daring" independent movies, and then disappear into theater or something.

He wants to be a movie star too much for that. He dumped the one theatre booking he had.

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.

Wonka was #1 at the box office taking in $10.9M on opening day.

Steven Spielberg ’s critically acclaimed West Side Story posted a subdued opening day gross of $4.1 million at the Friday (Dec. 10) box office for a disappointing domestic opening in the $10 million to $11 million range.

R120 Wonka's weekend opening was $39M which is almost twice as much as Priscilla's total gross of $20.8M after 52 days in theaters.

R131: You think a multi-million dollar Hollywood production taking in a sub-$39M opening weekend is a heroic triumph?

Yes, R132 West Side Story's total domestic gross was $38.5M

[Quote] You think a multi-million dollar Hollywood production taking in a sub-$39M opening weekend is a heroic triumph?

We'll take it!

audiences seem to like it

[quote]But for the most part, "Wonka" is so good at what it does that the question of whether it's a cynical enterprise becomes moot. It's as enthusiastic yet inscrutable as Wonka himself, played with an elegantly withholding quality by Chalamet, who in moments of quiet contemplation and madcap inspiration could be Gene Wilder's long-lost grandchild.

saw it yesterday. its very fun and entertaining and not a dull moment. I don't get the appeal of Timothy BUT he is very charming and just pulls one in. I do think possible Oscar nomination, why not?

[quote]signaling their plan to squeeze all the teen juice out of him

Pics please.

Fuck off all of you Timmy haters. He is starring in a big, fat hit. So, take your bile somewhere else.

R139: All that product placement and it didn't break $40mil. The word got out. Can we call it a fail in two or three weeks? Is that okay with you? Will that hurt your feelings?

Didn’t fellow try hard Johnny Depo do a remake of this a few years ago?

No, but it will hurt yours when the movie picks up over the school Christmas break.

Loved it. I’ve never understood the Timothee appeal and still don’t, but he disappears into the role. He’s not a great singer, but even that works in his favor for the role. It’s a delightful film.

BWAAAAAH. A true genius here.

R140 even if that's true, it will do a helluva a lot better than The Color Purple and the Boys in the Boat

Just saw it tonight, a solid three out of four. Drags a little at the 90 minute mark, but then acquits itself at the end.

it grossed another $4M on Monday bringing its total box office to $43M

R148: Wonka will be gone by January. Lil Tim continues to scare away audiences especially male audiences.

Adult males aren't the demographic, unless they bring the kids, so no harm, no foul. Adult males used to be the target demographic for action and superhero films until Disney and their ilk started the female empowerment shit and made the heroes women, thereby once again shutting out the males. Result - flop.

[Quote] Wonka will be gone by January. Lil Tim continues to scare away audiences especially male audiences.

So, what if a few wimps stay away. Wonka's BO gross for Tuesday December 19th was $5.9M bringing its 5-day domestic gross to $48.9M

Timothee Chamalet's 'Wonka' Surpasses $150 Million Globally

'Ticket sales are promising for a musical that's not part of an established franchise'

R161: No it isn’t.

Not according to informed reports R162 and you have nothing but your petulance to prove otherwise.

R 162, looks what happens to people like you:

Damn. It bombed. Not surprised. Firstly, Timothee is not a lead, he looks like an ugly child, and second, no one likes musicals.

Wonka added another $4.3M on Wednesday which is more than West Side Story made on its opening day. Sweet!

How many times are they going to remake this movie in 20 years?

Not a remake dear! It's a prequel or origin story. Do try and keep up!

It's performing much better in the UK than it is worldwide - already the twelfth highest-grossing film of the year, despite only having been released on the eighth of December. Meanwhile, it's #44 in the USA and #31 worldwide.

R165: The fangirls just don't want to face the music.

[Quote] Doesn’t it have to make $75M in its opening weekend to have a chance of making its money back?

apparently not as its already made its production costs back

[Quote] looks what happens to people like you:

looks a lot better than being a sour grape R164

R165: It's not looking good for Dune 2.

Why R173 Dune 2021 was released in United States theaters and streaming on HBO Max on October 22. Dune was a box office success, earning $402 million on a $165 million budget. It was well received by critics and audiences, with praise for Villeneuve's direction and screenplay, the visual effects, ambition, costume design, Hans Zimmer's musical score, cinematography, and faithfulness to the source material. The film won six awards at the 94th Academy Awards and was nominated in four other categories, including Best Picture. It also received numerous other accolades.

Its opening weekend domestic BO was $40M.

Wonka will continue to sell and even pick up as good word of mouth spreads.

I've already told some family and friends that it's a solid three stars out of four. Not overselling it, just recommending it to people who'll enjoy it.

R175: No it won't.

Let's agree to disagree.

The typical math is on the order of breakeven equaling about 150% of the published production budget. By that metric, Dune 2021 was a modest box office success and Wonka needs on the order of 200M to breakeven.

Of course, Wilder's version is listed as having a 4M box office on 3M budget, so it isn't like it was a huge success either.

R176 still insists Biden lost in 2020

[Quote] How many screens in the UK for each of those films?

R158 It's about the # of tickets sold not the number of theaters. Godzilla's domestic gross after 20 days in US release was $36M; WONKA made $39M in 3 days.

Gozirra.

Moth-e-ra

R181 Back in your box, twins.

Don't Christmas movies quadruple or more on opening weekend. If you queers want to talk box office do if correct.

r171 No it hasn't

"Wonka with a $125 million budget before marketing costs has a running global total of $151 million

Warner Bros. spent $125 million to produce "Wonka," not including the many millions on global marketing efforts. Initial ticket sales are promising for a musical that's not part of an established franchise

With positive reviews and enthusiastic audience scores, the kid-friendly film hopes to keep up momentum around the busy holiday season to justify its budget.

Overseas, it took in $53.6 million from 77 markets to come in well ahead of family classics like Paddington or musicals like The Greatest Showman and Mary Poppins Returns. The movie's global weekend haul of $92.6 million pushes the film's early worldwide total to $151.4 million, including a foreign tally of $112.4 million. (It opened early in England and Australia, along with a handful of other markets.)

Who can beat Aquaman . . .with a dismal 45 Metascore

lol.

r185 The studio only gets approximately half the box office. So it has to make $250 million to break even and that's without considering marketing costs.

and where did you get that information R190 ? and will I need a colonoscope?

There isn’t one universal figure. The split between exhibitors and distributors can be different for each film and is a point of negotiation when discussing the deal.

Typical fangirl, running her mouth about it making back its money when she doesn't have a clue how this all actually works

So, clue us in R193 since you seem to know how all the deals go down.

I already did, you just want to pretend it doesn't apply to Chalamet

R195 in other words you don't know the specifics

There isn’t one universal figure. The split between exhibitors and distributors can be different for each film and is a point of negotiation when discussing the deal.

Timmy's already onto his next project, I'm sure.

I feel fortunate that my fandom of any particular star/celebrity stops short of arguing with someone over box-office returns.

I don't need my taste in who I Stan, or hate, reinforced by whether a particular project flops or succeeds.

Not to mention that everybody involved, whether theatres, studios, producers and Chalamet are multi-millionaires if not billionaires.

[quote] It's about the # of tickets sold not the number of theaters.

Wouldn't logic tell you that the more theaters, the more tickets sold. 700 vs. 469? Plus, Wonka should do better because it's a kids film, not a film made about men regaining their honor without having to be led by the strong female ( anti-Hollywood).

Wonka cost $125 million to produce

Godzilla cost $15 million to produce.

r196 You don't know the specifics either, do you? You really think they managed to sign a deal for Wonka that gave them 100% of the box office? 50% is widely accepted as a valid approximate figure and has been for decades.

[Quote] Wouldn't logic tell you that the more theaters, the more tickets sold. 700 vs. 469?

No R199 It's not about the availability of tickets or seats; it's the number of tickets sold.

[Quote] 50% is widely accepted as a valid approximate figure and has been for decades.

Sure, Jan!

I’m in too much of a blah mood to go to a movie right now

[quote] lol.

LoL! :)

Hugh Grant was the best part of the movie.

I thought (generally) half of US box office goes to studio, but only 25% of foreign gross goes to studio. Promotion costs get added to overall costs, so the profit model is not great unless it’s a hit. So most big budget movies lose money but make it up from streaming and licensing (if they are lucky).

“I was shocked to find out movie studios actually take between 80% to 100% of a movie theater’s sales revenue in the first two week,” Yang explained. “Then in subsequent weeks the ratio gradually becomes more favorable to the cinema, usually resulting in a 50:50 ratio.”

That means movie theaters make their revenue somewhere else: concession stands.

So not into men who look like boys --- he's very boyish --- but there is something about him he is very charming and sweet in every interview. Wouldn't kick him out of bed especially after that Army Hammer movie.

Charmie Amy

R208: This is the same guy who flicked ash at the Beyonce concert and who ignored the press aide at Cannes who told him to get out of the photocall. For the life of me I don't get the people who say he's charming. As for his style, if any regular person were to wear what he wore, they'd be laughed at.

And even if they're unaware of the stuff r210 mentions, every interview seems to be done with an overdone attempt at "aww shucks, I can't believe I made it to the big time" which is so obviously fake that it's hard to believe people fall for it.

He's an it boy, aging towards being a shit boy.

R211: Indeed he probably thinks his merit and talent got him to where he is today. Just forget he had relatives in the business. If his parents were big A list stars, he would’ve happened even faster. Moreover, the guy obviously thinks he’s way smarter than he actually is. Every answer in every press junket sounds like a lecture. He’s a narcissistic opportunist not a charmer.

A famous or influential parent can get your foot in the door, but it cannot provide an ongoing career or repeated projects.

It's so amusing how triggering he is to DLers.

It's so amusing how triggering DLers are to fangirls

Wonka was #2 for Friday Dec. 21 with $6.5M bringing its domestic total to $64 million. Aquaman opened at #1 with $.9.2 million.

R217: Timmy’s a moderate to major drag at the box office. Sorry fangirls.

Timmy won't have any trouble getting work for the next several years at least, unless he does something stupid like being "me too'd".

I think he will peak with Dune. He doesn’t seem to have a face or body that will age well as a man. He’s almost 30 and still acts like a boy.

He's 27 you moron r220.

He turns 28 this month. That is almost 30. Moron.

I wouldn't say no to gagging on his skinny white boy huge bent veiny dick.

Thanks r228. Really enjoyed the movie.

so, you must be happy as Wonka is showing a larger profit than The Marvels, Napoleon and Aquaman.

Dune 2's Box Office Just Got A Major Boost 3 Months Before Its Release

Timothée Chalamet's success in Wonka not only establishes him as a true star who can captivate audiences, but also raises anticipation for his involvement in Dune 2.

R245 is Timmy

well, it certainly isn't Brie Larson or Hairlip Phoenix

Adding ticket sales from "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" and "Wonka," the studio held the top three spots at the box office over the holiday.

It was a very Merry Christmas for Warner Bros. Discovery.

I told ya’ll The Color Purple, black cinema, and black women was coming to save cinemas this Holiday flop season!

[Quote] Fuck that Wonka flop.

Define flop! KOTFM $67.2M domestic gross after 67 days in release

Killers of the Flower Moon, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has a reported budget of $200 million, the largest ever shot in Oklahoma.

The film needs to make at least $400 million at the box office to break even and be considered a success.

Who would have ever thought that musicals would be the surprise winners at the box-office this year, and superhero movies would be flopping everywhere?

Wonka and The Color Purple also outdoing Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible.

Is Wonka at all related to Andy Cohen’s eye?

They should have Timmy on Heartstopper as the foreign exchange student who wrecks all relationships.

Wonka was #1 at the box office for Tuesday 12/26 followed by Aquaman and The Color Purple at # 2 and 3.

R254: Fuck off you Wonka PR troll.

Just got back from a showing. First of all, the trailer is very misleading: Hugh Grant is barely in the movie. In regards to Chalamet, his iteration is I'm sorry to say by far the worst. His quirky moments were cringeworthy and he struggled with the tone shifts like when he had to recall a sad memory. He just doesn't have the warmth required for the character.

I saw it today. For the first half, I was bored to tears - it was just so twee. But around about the time Hugh Grant appeared, the pace picked up and it became much funnier. Maybe the director had the same idea as Butthead - if part of the film didn't suck, the other part wouldn't be as cool.

Just joining the thread now so maybe this has already been expressed but I thought it was like after they cast Timmy they had to downgrade most of the other musical talent so as not to overshadow his modest gifts. No one's singing or dancing impressed. He brought lots of sweetness but little else. I'm a fan but he really shouldn't be doing musicals.

At my cinema, yesterday's showings of Wonka had only single seats left.

My Christmas day matinee had rows and rows empty.

It was very spotty at my Brooklyn theater showing and the auditorium where it screened is one of the larger auditoriums in the theater.

.Wonka’s Sweet Success: Worldwide Profits Double Production Costs

According to Mojo, a U.S. box office tracking site on the 26th, ‘Wonka’ ranked second in the North American box office following ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ recording a revenue of $83.56 million (approximately 108.8 billion KRW). The worldwide box office revenue astonishingly reached $254.86 million (approximately 332 billion KRW), making it into the top 20 of the 2023 worldwide box office, doubling its production cost of $125 million. In addition, it continues its box office success by scoring high with real audiences including a 90% popcorn index on Rotten Tomatoes and an A- on CinemaScore.

Sometimes what becomes a phenomenon is not quality but filling a desire. For Timothee he has that rare distinction to be an actor on the cover of Time when he was young like Meryl. But they are still figuring him out. He doesn’t really read as a man yet.

[Quote] Doesn’t it have to make $75M in its opening weekend to have a chance of making its money back?

apparently not R88 See R268

R269: The not reading as a man thing is particularly bad for him since he doesn't have the talent to back it up.

Dune 2's Box Office Just Got A Major Boost 3 Months Before Its Release

Timothée Chalamet's success in Wonka not only establishes him as a true star who can captivate audiences, but also raises anticipation for his involvement in Dune 2.

I don't think in these times it matters to general audiences that Chalamet doesn't "read as a man" or whatever. This isn't still the 1950s. It's his boyishness that's so winning.

Whether his popularity continues after he matures is a question, I suppose. But I think he has the talent to develop. Just hope he chooses the right projects.

R277: What's this major boost? He's ugly inside and out and audiences actively avoid him.

Wonka resumed the #1 spot a day after The Color Purple's opening and Aquaman opening weekend.

On Wednesday, it was Warner Bros.' Wonka that won the day with $8M at 4,213 theaters, moving its running cume to $102.5M on its 13th day

To be considered a success, The Color Purple needs to make $200 million at the box office, but it is expected to surpass that with its high critics score, positive reviews, and star-studded cast.

BWAAAAH!

[quote]“Wonka,” a family-friendly look at how Willy Wonka broke into the confection game, topped the box office on Wednesday, adding $8 million to push the film past the $100 million mark domestically. The movie’s stateside gross stands at a delicious $102.5 million. “Wonka” is also performing well overseas — its global haul of more than $270 million is a strong result for Warner Bros. and the film’s star, Timothée Chalamet.

And yet still not profitable. At this rate it may just break even, hardly the hit the over-sugared fangirl here wants to pretend it is

You talking about The Color Purple R297?

To be considered a success, The Color Purple needs to make $200 million at the box office

No, Wonka you dumb cunt. God, when do the school holidays end?

In other news, here's Timothee on a not at all staged shopping run, where he entirely coincidentally happens to be photographed looking at a book of...Dune, right next to a book - entirely coincidentally of course - of Bob Dylan.

Staged pap shoots. Imagine having the same desperation levels as Shawn Mendes. That right there tells you how much of a 'success' Wonka is

Going, going, gone!

Wonka’s Sweet Success: Worldwide Profits Double Production Costs

R299: The mask suits him well. He should wear it all the time.

r301 Except, once again, it isn't profitable. But you've already proven you know fuck all about how the box office works

r302 Him copying Leo

Take your father's dick out of your mouth and tell us how the box office works R303?

“I was shocked to find out movie studios actually take between 80% to 100% of a movie theater’s sales revenue in the first two week,” Yang explained. “Then in subsequent weeks the ratio gradually becomes more favorable to the cinema, usually resulting in a 50:50 ratio.”

better yet R303 let a finance expert explain.

" . . . movie studios actually take between 80% to 100% of a movie theater’s sales revenue in the first two week,”

and Wonka is only in its 2nd week!

R304 that is such a superficial article.

Newsflash: Timmy isn't going away anytime soon, even if every movie he was in tanks.

Box Office: ‘Wonka' Emerges as Christmas Winner, Crosses $100M in U.S. as ‘Aquaman 2' Drowns

[Quote] that is such a superficial article.

R308: The lies you fangirls tell yourselves. Hollywood cares about one thing only - bankability.

r304 And yet internationally the share is much more in favour of the cinemas, which is why everyone accepts 50% as a figure it broadly averages out to. I know you desperately want to make believe it isn't the case, but it is. After all, there's a reason you keep linking to bullshit sites no-one has ever heard of. Funny how you can't link to any articles from the actual trades saying it's profitable, isn't it? If this were making the kind of profit you claim, you actually think WB wouldn't be issuing press releases left, right and centre?

Chalamet really does attract the dumbest of the dumb when it comes to fangirls.

Box Office:

Who?

On its 13th day in North American theaters, Wonka crosses a major milestone at the domestic box office that only 23 movies have done so far this year.

Looks good to me

Pick a movie chain. Go to their corporate website, and view their annual or quarterly report. I'll pick AMC, and linked to their most recent quarterly. Go the Financial Statements. Two key figures you're looking for - the revenue from Admissions, and then the costs of exhibition.

[quote]Admissions (Q2023) $797.7 (Q2022) $545.3 (Y2023) $2,075.9 (Y2022) $1,640.1

[quote]Film exhibition costs (Q2023) $398.5 (Q2022) $263.2 (Y2023) $1,027.8 (Y2022) $781.7

Gosh, would you look at that. Those film exhibition costs - the sums paid to the distributors and studios - just happen to be right around half the revenue brought in by admissions. What a coincidence!

But hey, I'm sure some random blog is more reliable than what a company files with the SEC.

The funniest thing is that by refusing to engage with reality, all you're actually doing is showing that deep down you know Wonka isn't the hit you're trying to pretend it is.

R318 that gobbledygook doesn't indicate what the box office split between studios and theaters is nor does it prove that Wonka isn't a hit.

Popcorn, soft drinks, candy, hot dogs, wine and beer.

r319 You actually are an idiot, aren't you? How many times have you DMed Chalamet a link to this thread hoping he'll thank you and take you to Olive Garden?

R3218, That corporate bullshit sounds great, except they left out the main thing: the projection Quality Control stinks, and the images are often 10 or 20 or more percent darker than it should be.

It's like anything else, if you want quality don't go mass-market. Applies to AMC and applies to Chalamet too.

Timothée Chalamet retained his holiday season crown as “Wonka” topped the box office on Thursday. The family film, which looks at chocolatier Willy Wonka and his quest to open the world’s most fantastical candy company, earned $8 million, pushing its domestic gross to $110.6 million. “Wonka” carries an $125 million budget and has been a success overseas, where it has earned more than $180 million.

The Color Purple remains at #4

R318: Numbers don't lie. The fangirls and Chalamet's employees just don't want to hear it.

Review.

It's a MUSICAL? Fuck that shit.

I'm with you R331

Not only is Timothee's Wonka a crowd-pleasing success, but it turns out he really does have a big thick dick that shoots massive watery loads.

'It is key that the movie is showing longevity despite so many different movies taking up space in theaters. This means that Wonka could continue to leg out to a strong result in the new year, as holiday season hits tend to perform consistently through January. This is what buoyed the December 2017 sleeper hit The Greatest Showman, which eventually earned $434.9 million worldwide despite a meager $8.8 million opening.'

SCREERANT

The Greatest Showman was the 21st highest-grossing movie of 2017.

With this new influx of cash, the Wonka musical is already holding a solid place as the 18th highest-grossing movie of 2023 worldwide. Once international grosses for Tuesday have been factored in, it may have already risen to No. 17, above the smash hit Creed III. While it may be difficult for it to rise above No. 15, where The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes sits at $315.3 million, the movie is a strong performer that shouldn’t be overlooked for its future potential given its ability to claw its way back up the chart.

Release Date 2023-12-15 Director Paul King Cast Rowan Atkinson, Timothee Chalamet, Jim Carter, Sally Hawkins, Olivia Colman, Keegan-Michael Key Genres Family, Comedy, Adventure Writers Simon Farnaby, Paul King Budget $125 million Studio(s) Warner Bros. Pictures Distributor(s) Warner Bros. Pictures

Nothing says "totally sane and well adjusted" like posting multiple posts in a row

there’s no one sane and well adjusted left on DL but it seems pretty clear now that Wonka is a hit?

no matter how much you personally may dislike the film or Tim-o-tay, it’s clearly done well

I hold two simultaneous, contradictory reactions to Wonka.

I've seen it twice and really enjoyed it both times for what it is- a frothy, fun, meaningless, inconsequential, gorgeously produced musical of the kind that you don't see any more. It reminded me of those overproduced UK musicals form the 60s and 70s.

Then I watched Fish Jelly's review of it- they hated it- and I agree with them, too!

He's eating a brownie....later he will be eating me. Heeeheeeeheeeee

Wrong thread, R349?

Wrong thread, R339?

Wonka retained the #1 spot for Friday Dec. 29 with an increase of 32.3% in box office from the previous Friday Dec. 22. for a total domestic gross of $119.2M

SATURDAY AM: Refresh for updates Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he's delivering the motion picture industry a $9 billion-plus year at the domestic box office; a feat many thought was unimaginable with the lack of a mega-tentpole over the holiday with a Q4 impacted by the double strikes. But it was a diversified crop of family and adult films which got us there including the Warner Bros.' trifecta of Wonka (which is leading the 4-day New Year's Box Office with $33M), Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (4-day $26M) and The Color Purple ($16.2M 4-day); as well as adult movies like The Boys in the Boat ($11.6M 4-day) and even YA romantic comedy, Anyone But You ($11.3M 4-day). As we told you last week, 2024 is bound to shed about $1 billion for an $8 billion take due to a lower inventory of wide releases and Q1 sans several tentpoles.

[Quote] Probably more like $300 million once marketing costs are included

Wonka cost about $125 million to produce. Does Rose really think an additional $175M was spent on marketing costs? WTF!

[Quote] studios take all of the box office

said no one ever R348

R348: The fangirls are beyond insufferable in the way they spin things.

I worry that Jason Momoa's career is over, and that Fantasia will never get another lead role in a film.

r351 Explain your post at r344 then. Or are you now realising how much of an idiot you are?

r352 The funniest thing is they're admitting they can only spin Wonka as a big success by lying about the numbers.

R354 Explanations are useless to those who lack reading comprehension.

r355 In other words you can't. Why are you even here?

I don't know why anybody is surprised and/or dismayed that Wonka is pulling in audiences.

It's the Winter holidays, kids are out of school, parents want to park them somewhere for a couple of hours, and, given that Wonka is better (its production value and appeal can't be denied) than some of the other schlock that's offered as kid and family friendly, why not go to Wonka?

I also think there is something to the observation that, given the state of the world right now, people are looking for light escapism, and Wonka is just what the doctor ordered.

The showing I attended was damn near sold-out and those there were from all ages and genders, tots to teens to adults and older adults and a lot of them looked like they were in family groups.

And I write this as not invested one way or another when it comes to Chalamet.

The film's $120 million budget, combined with an assumed marketing budget of over $100 million, Wonka needs to generate at least $240 million at the box office to make a profit for Warner Bros. While it was originally supposed to hit theaters in March 2023, the film's new December release date couldn't have been better timing for generating big audience numbers, as families and groups of friends may choose a trip to the movies to see Wonka as a holiday outing.

as of Wednesday its global haul was more than $270 million

r357 No-one's surprised, the tireless recycling of IP is a long-established draw. The only debate being had here is an idiotic fangirl who thinks that movie studios get 100% of the box office. See r358 for an example of that idiocy, trying to back it up with an article written by a Chalamet fangirl.

"Wonka" will pass $300 million in global box office grosses this weekend and is on pace to pass $150 million domestic sometime next week. In a year where its box office fortunes have largely been defined by "Barbie" and DC, this is a film that is shaping up to be a solid victory for Warner Bros.

Forgot to add, at, r357.

I do think it's fair and reasonable to raise the question if, at any other time of the year, would Wonka have pulled in the audience it had now?

I have my doubts. And I write that as one who enjoyed Wonka.

But credit to the producers for choosing this time to release Wonka. There could not have been any other better time when it comes to maximizing the box office returns.

R359 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

WHET Timothy Olyphant? He’s hot

Wonka is a big success. It will probably do around $500 million when all is said and done, which is much better than anyone predicted. Like The Wizard of Oz, there is a lot of love out there for Willie Wonka.

It's funny to me how audiences very much want to see fun and lively musicals, like Wonka and The Greatest Showman, but don't give a damn about Sondheim or Andrew Lloyd Weber musicals. Even Mary Poppins made $350 million, while Spielberg's West Side Story only made $76 million. Sondheim and ALW are box-office poison.

R364: Audiences have weird tastes when it comes to musicals. It’s the same thing on Broadway. Back to the Future - really that’s what people are dying to see on Broadway, Back to the Future and its mediocre script?

R369 Not for the first time.

Girls, Girls. Can we get back to discussing Timmy's slim pins and big hot bent cock?

Like "Barbie," "Wonka" apparently offers escapism and childhood nostalgia for adults, colorful charm and fantasy for kids, and an appealing star (or two) going for it, as well as timing for when children are at home and underfoot.

I for one am not interested in the slightest, but then I doubt if I'm in the intended audience anyway. Plus I've never seen the Wilder or Depp iterations.

Still can't find any reputable site actually saying it's profitable, eh?

I do like how the fangirl is now so broken she's actually making up terms - "box office intake" indeed.

R392, "Elvis" was not a flop, silly arse.

Unless I missed the sarcasm, r392.

Wishing you a quick. productive unclenching R394 for the New Year🥳🎉🎊

Elvis grossed $288 million worldwide; Wonka is nearing $400M

Willy Wonka, has continued to impress at the box office with $142 million domestically and $386.9 million worldwide to date. It cost $100 million, making it a worthy revisit to the world of pure imagination.

YAY KING TIMMY

R399: Don’t make the mistake of assuming this was a modest hit because of him. As other fangirls have said, it’s an IP, kids and families are off from school and work, there was weak competition, and people are looking for escapism. Timing was key and I don’t know if it would’ve pulled those same numbers if released in March. I don’t know what they were thinking with that March date.

R393: Exactly.

I’m shocked it didn’t do better at the Globes. I think it could still get in for Best Picture at the Oscars. Should definitely be in the running for some of the below the line categories.

I saw Wonka today with my kiddo & I wasn’t expecting much. I’m not the biggest fan of TC but I realise it’s more the real him that grates on me than his acting ability. I thought it was brilliant. I genuinely enjoyed it. It seems to have been a big hit over Christmas in the UK. At my local Vue Cinema it was on 11/14 screens over the entire school holidays.

R400 is Oprah

Wonka is going to make more than Dune pt. 1, and probably pt. 2 as well. Who saw that coming?

The mediocre box office for The Color Purple baffles me. Rape, incest, abuse and racism; what more could you want from a musical.

Does Timmy have “an” IP?

[quote] YAY KING TIMMY

I’m so happy.

It’s an ugly spectacle and won’t make nearly as much as the last film in the Wonka franchise before inflation.

My theory about TCP not doing better is that there are too many bootleg DVDs out there now. Millions of people are watching, only at home and nearly for free.

My theory R410 is that Oprah needed to pay more people to fill those seats

Elvis' domestic gross reached $142.5 million on its 55th day of release; Wonka grossed $142.7 million in 18 days!!!

The Box Office power of children.

Next up, Timmy will be cast in the remake of "Caligula".

[quote] Next up, Timmy will be cast in the remake of "Caligula".

I’d love to see that with his beautiful face and lithe, thin body without muscles.

I'd like someone to cast Timmy in the movie version of Dancer from the Dance. At first, I thought Malone. OTOH, he might make an exquisite Sutherland.

Timmy continues makes the box office his bitch

The rancid breathed haters are seething

"[C]ontinues," r417?

Mouseboy is an action flop and now a festive flop. Haha!

R418: Don’t forget The King, Beautiful Boy, The French Dispatch. Even the first Dune wasn’t that huge.

Timmy is permanently A list

He’s going to be in all media for a very long while

His Datalounge haters will be permanently frothing at their fat lips, even though Timmy doesn’t know they exist

Your every irrational hateful comment about Timothee “King” Chalamet is music to the ears

Timmy lives in your head, and you can nothing about it

R421: You’re not permanently A list when you have no talent and your movies keep bombing dumbass!

Poor Matt Anscher….unwanted, unloved and hideously ugly

Obsession with Timmy means that you are Timmy bitch

Gaze upon Tim Chalamet irrational obsessional hater

Grim

This face makes me sad

Because nothing says A list like getting involved with the Kardashians and doing staged pap walks

Are you an Oscar nominated actor r425?

Does anyone notice you at all?

Timmy is not going away.

Your tears are delicious.

Sure, Jan

"Wonka," a musical fantasy that has been the biggest hit of the holiday season, topped the box office on New Year's Eve, closing 2023 on a sweet note. The film, which stars Timothée Chalamet as a more youthful Willy Wonka, grossed $22.7 million for the weekend and a projected $29.5 million for the four-day holiday. That brings the domestic gross to $140.2 million, a strong result for the $125 million production. Globally, the Warner Bros. release is hovering around $400 million.

R426: I thought he was supposed to get nominated for Beautiful Boy. PS he’ll go away when he hits puberty haha!

[quote] Wonka has officially won the final domestic weekend box office of 2023 with a sweet performance of $23.9 million in its third week in theaters

Suck it fuggo haters

Another feather in Timmy’s crown

R442 🥱🥱🥱

r426 Is that really the best you could manage? For someone you're so certain is a star, you fangirls sure seem insecure about that 'fact'

R431 Timmy an international star and nobody notices you in real life. Volunteer and get your fat carcass out of your hovel. You are wasting your time hating a person who doesn’t know you exist.

✨TIMOTHEE CHALAMET A LISTER✨

[quote]He has received various accolades, including nominations for an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and three BAFTA Film Awards

R431: Just like they’re so insecure about the fact that it’s a “blockbuster hit.” They keep posting the same Deadline articles over and over again.

Google “Wonka box office” if you know how do that, and you’ll see that many new outlets are reporting on the Timmy’s movie

Or read the links which we already published in this thread. Have you had your eyes checked lately, senile grandpa at r433?

Suck it Matt Anscher. No one will care when your bloated corpse is discovered after two months after you die of loneliness.

[quote] This weekend, “Wonka” proved too sweet to miss as it bested “Color Purple” and a third Warner Bros. holiday release —”Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” — to bring its North American cumulative to $134.6 million in its third week.

R443: Face it he didn’t bring the charm and he was totally miscast. People are watching Saltburn at home as they rightfully should.

Cry harder hideous haters…this means you especially Matt Anscher

[quote]Timmy an international star and nobody notices you in real life. Volunteer and get your fat carcass out of your hovel. You are wasting your time hating a person who doesn’t know you exist.

This is absolutely hilarious from the fangirl who spends hours posting the same links, who was even posting on Christmas Day, who has repeatedly gone back through the thread to find quotes from other posters - and all for a person who doesn't know you exist.

Projection, much? Go back to having sex with the homeless, as you 'brag' about in your other thread. Explains your attraction to "Timmy" I guess.

Oh, and still no links to any trades reporting it's profitable, eh?

Ugly loon ^

GO TIMMY

r433 Interesting too how they - well, let's be honest, it's just the one frau - can't even pretend to be a normal person. You just need to read the post and immediately you're hit by how insane she sounds. I guess that's the problem with those fangirl bubbles, they forget how normal people interact.

^ Cry harder fug

We will drink your tears

⭐️ TIMMY IS UNSTOPPABLE ⭐️

I beg to differ.

^ The human mortality table means that you will dead soon, and more life, love and Timmy for us

No one will notice that you’ve died, alone and unwanted

👑 TIMMY IS THE KING 👑

The current grosses for the film about a young Willy Wonka cover the $125 million budget.

That was enough to best the Jason Momoa-led Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which took in $19.5 million on its second weekend of release, bringing its total box office so far to $84.7 million.

The much-talked-about Oprah Winfrey-produced musical remake of The Color Purple, which should have a strong showing during awards season, brought in $13 million from

Going to pretend marketing costs don't exist now, huh?

This is what happens when you cast someone with even less charisma than Johnny Depp. He will be the least remembered Willy Wonka. Suck on Chalamet’s cock fangurl.

R449, The only thing worse than a fan girl is a person attacking a fan girl and pretending to be normal

R454 wishing you a speedy productive unclenching for the New Year

Matt Anscher, you are as stupid as you are sickening to look at.

Got to love the fangirl accusing others of being angry while she's telling people to kill themselves because they don't like her favourite celeb.

For someone whose fav has apparently just been in a hit, you seem oddly angry and upset. Almost like you don't quite believe the things you're saying.

With all my heart and soul: Matt Anscher should “unalive” himself.

Immediately.

And with extreme prejudice.

I also believe that Timothee Chalamet is one of the most talented actors of his generation.

I also believe that numbers for multiple reputable sources should be believed over the unsupported blather of YouTube videos.

And most of all:

🌅☀️ TIMMY WILL LEAD US TO THE LIGHT ☀️🌅

[quote]Suck on Chalamet’s cock

Dream dong.

He shall eternally flop and that includes Bob Dylan.

(^.^) Wishful drinking🍸🍻🍷

R420, I posted about "Bones...," but you are wrong about "Dune"---unless you hold some outrageous standard such as anything less than a billion is a flop.

"Dune" WAS huge, making over $400M and winning 6 Academy Awards.

The "problem" I have with Timothee is that I don't see a man; I see a kid. He and Zendaya in "Dune: Part 2" look like Romeo and Juliet, not adults.

☘️🌈TIMMY DOMINATES THE LAND OF THE LEPRECHAUNS, POTATOES AND BARRY KEOGHAN🌈☘️

YAY TIMMY

[qoute] 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.

[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.

🤑💲TIMMY RAINS RICHES ON THE WORLD💲🤑

🎄TIMMY DOMINATES HOLIDAY SEASON 2023🎄

🙏🙏🏼HALLOWED BE TIMMY’S NAME🙏🏾🙏🏿

⭐️TIMMY IS ETERNALLY A MUSICAL GENIUS⭐️

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.

Timothee will probably win the Golden Globe for "Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy," because that category is really weak this year.

R475: He's definitely in third place behind Wright and Giamatti but Giamatti is clearly winning this. The HFPA clearly liked The Holdovers more than American Fiction and Wonka and they love to predict the Oscars. Personally, I'm hoping The Holdovers sweeps at every place.

Oppenheimer was a huge hit both with audiences and critics; it will undoubtedly win Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director. It's that rare serious, prestige film that was an enormous box office success. It can't miss.

Agreed, r477. For "Drama" actor, especially.

R380 Yellow Flash needs brains; Wonka's got legs. Did he ever hear of The Greatest Showman? He sounds drunk!

[quote] And finally having seen Wonka (three times at this point), I can tell you my faith in him was justified. Because Wonka is a wondrous and weird gem sure to be treasured for generations to come.

[quote] Giddy and genuine, Chalamet is a prince of musical theater, whether dancing with a rousing ensemble or waltzing with a hat and coat on a walking stick as a stand-in partner. His voice is pretty and spirit-lifting as he sings silly rhymes.

[quote] Wonka has now made $400 million worldwide, comprising $147 million from North America and $253 million internationally

[quote] The movie is poised to pass Dune's $402 million to become the biggest hit of Chalamet's career.

[quote] Wonka's success is due to strong word of mouth and relatively little competition, but it also confirms that Chalamet is a box office draw.

[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.

[quote] And it's poised to pass $500 million before 'Dune: Part Two' rolls around.

[quote] Wonka’s Success Secures Timothée Chalamet’s Golden Ticket to the A-List

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.

With a face like r484, it’s becomes clear why Matt Anscher is insanely jealous of Timmy

We will drink your tears Matt

[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 2024🎉🌟

Both these threads are becoming unreadable

R487: Blame the psychopath fangirl who posts the same Deadline articles to each thread. She's so convinced that Wonka is profitable. It makes you wonder, does she believe in what she's saying?

Rancid breathed moron / r488, 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.

Are you so stupid that you can’t see obvious links? Of course you are! You can’t deal with reality, and that’s really sad and really funny.

I really hope that 2024 is the year of King Armie's #1 big hit march to domination of our hearts!!

How ironic that the fangirl is accusing others of being Anscher, when she's actually the one behaving like him with the spamming of the thread because people are saying things she doesn't like.

Aww she let him borrow the car for another pap walk. He looks like shit.

R494: Holy fuck the Trashians have drained the life out of him. Soon to be very uncastable.

Going out to do a pap walk arranged for him by Mama Kris to promote a shitty brand - sure sounds like the actions of the "biggest star in the world"

"Wonka" establishes Timmée as the premier actor of this century. That Golden Globe has his handprint alllll over it!

Timothee Chalamet and "Wonka" topped the box office charts for the third time in its four weekends in theaters. Warner Bros.' family-oriented musical added $14.4 million in ticket sales according to studio estimates Sunday, bringing its total domestic grosses to $164.7 million.

R518: Not 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.

YAY TIMMY

$500 million? That’s it? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory made that almost 20 years ago. A movie of this magnitude should gross a billion globally in this day and age.

Color me unimpressed. It would’ve made a lot more with a different actor.

[quote] WB Motion Picture Group Co-Chairs and CEOs Mike De Luca and Pamela Abdy commented today, “With Wonka, Paul King, producer David Heyman and the amazing cast and crew led by Timothée Chalamet have delivered a truly special musical event. It is incredibly validating to see this film achieve such an exciting milestone. We are grateful to our partners in exhibition for their unwavering support and the audiences around the globe who came out for this big-screen celebration. Congratulations to the filmmakers, cast and our colleagues around the world – this is a sweet start to 2024.”

It's amazing that it's made $500 million. So many people thought it would flop, but it's been the surprise hit of the year. I think people just needed something fun and uplifting to see with all the negativity going on in the world.

TIMMY is a bankable star as well as being critical darling and respected artist.

TIMMY will be in the news 24/7 until he dies.

🌈How lucky we are to be living in the age of TIMMY! ♥️

I thought it would flop. I remember thinking the same about "The Greatest Showman," which also had a holiday release & made half a billion.

🙇🏾‍♂️🔥🕴️BOW DOWN TO TIMMY KING OF STYLE🕴️🔥🙇🏽‍♂️

R559: But no awards!!!

I propose that the Timmy stans go have a fight to the death with the Heartstopper stans - assuming they aren't one and the same, of course.

R559 Is he in a contest with Harry Styles to see who looks more ridiculous?

R548s math ain't mathin Did she go to school with Taraji?

Mean Girls is estimated to make $32K over 4 days WTF! Wonka made that in a matter of hours!

Must you post the same remarks on two threads?

[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.

[quote] Wonka is also now the 33rd -highest-grossing film of all time in the UK and Ireland, coming up fast on Star War: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (£56.4m) and The Dark Knight Rises (£56.4m).

Yes r565

All are deserving to know about PRINCE TIMMY’S triumph

ALL

[quote] Wonka has proven to be an even bigger box office smash than expected, breaking several records for its franchise, its star talent, and the post-COVID era.

[quote] The enormous box office success of Wonka has made it Chalamet’s highest grossing movie as a lead (via The Numbers). Wonka has outperformed the previous record holder, Dune, by more than $100 million

It was the year of Barbie, Oppenheimer and Wonka

R569: Honey Wonka is no Barbie.

Great, we have a Timotheebot on the loose joining the ranks of Janbot and PaulMescalLover.

Yes, r569, except for that little "Few nominations and zero awards for 'Wonka'" thing.

Sour grapes 🍇 ^

500 + million extremely profitable movie is award enough

Everyone is talking about Wonka

R572 is thinking about Timmy RIGHT NOW

Isn’t it wonderful? Little Timmy Tim’s light bathes us, each and everyone 🔆🔆🔆

[Quote] Honey Wonka is no Barbie.

Good!

[quote] Wonka continues to dominate the box office, maintaining its position in the top 3 and charting above nine other major releases

[quote] Variety, the Wonka box office is projected to close out its sixth weekend in domestic theaters with a 3-day total of $6.7 million. This places it at No. 3 on the domestic chart, maintaining its place in the Top 3. Keeping its hold on the No. 3 spot means that it is charting above nine other major wide releases that have opened since it debuted, namely Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Migration, Anyone But You, The Color Purple, The Iron Claw, Ferrari, The Boys in the Boat, Night Swim, and I.S.S.

So basically he can open a movie as long as it's a commercially recognized IP. That pretty much applies to every working actor today.

Like Brie Larsen in The Marvels did? Like Paul Rudd in Ant Man Quantumania did? Like Jason Momoa in Aqua Man The Lost Kingdom? Like Ezra Miller in The Flash did?

Nope. They were all flops, moron at r576.

🚀♥️🍭TIMMY DOMINATES THE BOX OFFICE THROUGH WONKA AND CHARISMA AND LOVE🍭❤️🚀

Timothee’s wanka is huge you say?

R577: Fuck off scumbag. The one good thing to come out of this Kylie relationship is that he’s not great acting wise and certainly not the next Leo type movie star. Still no links saying it’s profitable, eh?

^ TIMMY PREYS UPON MATT ANSCHER’S TINY GREASY HATE FILLED MIND

🤣😆🤭😂😜😝

We are all laughing at you Matt and we want to be thrown into a wood chipper.

Fuck all you bitch haters! I'm going to take this movie cash and find the manwhore with the biggest cock to pound me unconscious!

R580, You might want to re-read your post carefully.

And yet....

Of the Golden Globes, Critics Choice, and SAG awards, in all categories available, "Wonka" has received only three nominations and no wins (yet. SAG to come):

GG = Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical.

CC = Best Costume Design. Most Promising Young Actor.

SAG = None.

Oh, Dearing myself, to wit: Since "Wonka" has no SAG nominations, it won't win any SAG awards. No need, then, for "yet."

[Quote]So basically he can open a movie as long as it's a commercially recognized IP.

[Quote] hat pretty much applies to every working actor today.

it does?

I read on a fan site that Timmy is rumored to be receivin a special surprise Oscar both for his astonishing work in Wonka, and for making it the success that's revived Hollywood singlehandedly. Everything is in preparation to make Oscar Night...WONKA NIGHT!!

Timmy and the Tiny Microphone....

He's so adorable!

Ephebophile thread

R588 is a mentally ill, child obsessed psychopath.

Timothee is 27 years old.

R588 needs to be committed to a mental hospital.

R587 I wish my penis were this big!

R573 has walls decorated with Thomas Kinkade paintings and bookshelves filled with the 190 books by Danielle Steel.

[quote] Wonka's seven-week streak marks the longest that any such title has spent in the Top 3.

R592: Either you’re an algorithm or a 13 year old cunt. Either way you’re just embarrassing yourself at this point. No Oscar nominations for Wonka and he lost the Golden Globe (they’re pretty easy to win by the way). Still no links saying it’s profitable, eh. The studio lost some money on it.

Hideous unfuckable Matt Anscher r593

TIMMY, and all of Datalounge, and the world, spits upon you. FEEL THE POWER OF WONKA.

Why haven’t those Mexicans from Salinas killed you yet?

Is the Chalametbot for real or is this intended as irony and parody? Really can’t fucking tell anymore.

The Klan Grannies of DL are opposed to Timmy for his enlightened attitude toward people of color.

I am very very really r595

I spread the gospel of 😇TIMMY 😇

I show 🔆TIMMY’S 🔆light to the world

I am but a vessel for the divine 🇻🇦TIMMY 🇻🇦

Pray for forgiveness tard hater r595

and yet The Color Purple was Oscar nominated which isn't that glorious for Warner Brother$

Wow Wonka is already available on Amazon starting tomorrow. Oh yeah that's for sure a sign of a movie setting the box office on fire.

The Color Purple released a week AFTER Wonka has been available on Prime Video for over a week now! Wonka has far outgrossed TCP, The Boys in the Boat, , Aquaman, Flowers of the Killer Moon . . .

^ Killers of the Flower Moon for which Leo was paid $40M has grossed $67M
