As this is Thanksgiving week, it is only fitting that I thank all of you for being part of this journey for me. While most of the attention is on my Instagram account, due to the tournaments that I hold throughout the year, it is here where I can expound on my thoughts. This has not been the easiest year for me, and this place has given me an escape that I desperately needed. Yes, my posting has been infrequent in the second half of this year, but that should return back to normal gong forward. I find so much fun in this place, especially over in the other tabs. The Box Office stuff always has been fun for me. So, to keep this brief, and to move things along, thank you for visiting and reading my thoughts, as wrong as you might think I am sometimes. It happens. On to the reviews!

In my opinion, 2016’s Zootopia 2 is the best Disney film we have gotten in the last 10 years. Almost a decade later, we get a sequel that I think is also very solid. Everyone is back from the original, and the additions that include Ke Huy Quan and Andy Sandburg really work. The story of this sequel revolves around Nick and Judy trying to figure out what is going down when a snake shows up for the first time in 100 years. What worked the most for me is that there were solid jokes for the kids and the adults. There were a few times where I laughed and my nephew sitting next to me had no idea why. After this and last year’s Moana 2, Disney seems to have recaptured the Thanksgiving weekend magic. Knowing whaa as they have planned over the next few years, we probably won’t get the sequel the after credits scene teased for quite awhile. This film is not quite as good as the original, but it is pretty hard to match near-perfection.

The first FNaF opened with $80 million in 2023, and I don’t think the sequel will match that. Wicked and Zootopia are harder competition than Killers of the Flower Moon and a third week of the Eras Tour (sorry Swifties). That doesn’t mean I don’t think it won’t win the weekend though. It should only take $50-60 million to do that.

2. Zootopia 2
3. Wicked: For Good
4. Now You See Me, Now You Don’t
5. Hamnet

Over 170 reviews this year so far, and I have yet to give out a 5 out of 5. That could change on this week as I have the front-runner for Best Picture on the schedule for Thursday. That is the second half of a doubleheader I have that day. The first half is a revisit to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
