When it comes to cultural impact, mega-sales and drama, this year’s Best Original Song category at the Academy Awards is going to have an awfully difficult time competing with last year’s category.
The 2013 winner, you might remember, was “Let It Go,” the anthem from “Frozen” that became a hit around the world and spawned a zillion amateur YouTube renditions.

Final Update, Monday, 2:12 Pm: The fall season is off to a good start, thanks to Fox’s The Maze Runner which opened nicely to $32.5M for the three-day weekend. The next installment of the film, The Maze Runner 2: Scorch Trials, is already set to bow September 18, 2015. While Fox has created another franchise for the industry, Liam Neeson and Universal weren’t so lucky with A Walk Among The Tombstones. The picture didn’t appeal to the female audience — that same demo which helped Non-Stop open to $28.8M earlier this year for the actor. Tombstones ends this weekend with $12.7M. This Is Where I Leave You opened to mediocre numbers after having a less than expected Sunday. It will take in only $11.5M for Warner Bros.
Speaking of franchises, Sony and Denzel Washington hope to launch one next weekend with The Equalizer and those of us who have seen it believe it will happen.

Update: I misspoke, as one commenter mentions below, J. Edgar will open the Carmel Art and Film Festival on October 14. It will be interesting to see how many press are in attendance, but my fingers are crossed that these early comments are not a sign of things to come.
A pair of high-profile Oscar prognosticators in Hit Fix's Kris Tapley and The Wrap's Steve Pond took to Twitter this morning and hinted at some bad buzz for Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar, which won't screen for an audience until the opening night gala of the AFI Fest on November 3, six days ahead of the film's November 9 release date.
"If what I heard is true, strike J. Edgar from your Best Picture guesses," Tapley tweeted this morning. He sarcastically ended the comment with, "I know, big shock."
Pond followed up shortly after adding, "Hmm, I heard something similar."
As far as the "big shock" goes,...
