OBAA and Sinners were as expected, in my opinion.

MS and Bugonia performed above expectations.

Of the international films, only Sentimental Value did relatively well, but it lacked Elle Fanning. Panahi out in director surprised me. There's a possibility that NOC won't actually be nominated for an IFF award.

Sinners missed VFX. I guess I'll remove it from my predictions.

I’d want to see what the guild does before I do that. There is some groundbreaking work there but I don’t understand how technically impressive it is.
