car contenders have been available for weeks, if not months, in the home. But a few films sought a post-nominations lift at the box office, even if the once expected “Oscar bump” is all but dead.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Licorice Pizza,” up for three awards including best picture, had its widest week of release in its 12th week of release, playing in 1,977 theaters. It managed $922,500 in ticket sales, bringing its cumulative total to $14million.
Branagh’s other film in release, “Belfast,” followed up its seven nominations by playing in 928 theaters and adding $285,000 to its $7.9million gross. Other best-picture contenders – “Nightmare Alley” ($85,000) and “West Side Story” ($235,000) – made only minor blips.
The biggest bumps out there may have been for a few of the international contenders. Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s “Drive My Car,” which is nominated for four Oscars including best picture, saw a 92% spike in grossing $192,000 from 127 theaters. Joachim Trier’s “The Worst Person in the World,” nominated for best original screenplay and best international film, earned $255,395 on 49 screens in its second weekend.
The film expected to lead the box office next weekend – Sony’s video-game adaptation “Uncharted,” staring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg – began its release overseas, where it took in $21.5million in 15 territories.

Whatever your religious inclination, be it devout, agnostic or full on atheist, this is an entertaining show that probably won’t change anyone’s perspective on any of the above.
However, it might actually inspire further discussion on these topics and more after you leave the theater. Any work that inspires such further conversations is always worthwhile time spent.
The show’s approximate run time is approximately 80 minutes with no intermission.
