A Quiet Place: Day One opens this weekend and is apparently expected to bring in $40-50 million. I hope so, I really, really hope so. But it’s been so unpredictable these last few months and even though the industry seems relieved by the performance of Inside Out 2, it’s so hard to say what audiences are responding to and what they’ll leave their house for. 

 

It would be great, though, if Lupita could headline a box office winner in her first leading role in five years. She is SO GOOD in this movie and as Sarah has written repeatedly, this is a crazy ass thing to say – the fact that Lupita Nyong’o has so relatively few leading roles on her resumé. She said recently that she really wants to be in a rom-com. Will someone please make this happen? 

 

Here's Lupita at the premiere in New York last night wearing Prada. It’s a sequined catsuit with some kind of sash wrapped around the hips which, don’t get me wrong, she looks amazing, but to me, the sash seems unnecessary. Just give me Lupita in a catsuit and call it a day. 

 

In other Lupita news… 

Hot Ones. 

Lupita’s Hot Ones just dropped today. I haven’t had time to watch in full yet but they did post a preview yesterday and… has anyone ever cried so beautifully on this show?! While giving Sean the death stare?! She’s cute and scary at the same time! Here’s the short clip.
