Box Office Flop or Blockbuster 2020? - Jojo Rabbit


The question for JoJo Rabbit, is it a Box Office Flop or Blockbuster in 2020? It's hard to tell is the easy answer.

It was a strange choice for a Boxing Day release and honestly not my first choice to see this movie going season. That said, I was pleasantly surprised.

Young Roman Griffin Davis as Johannes "Jojo Rabbit" Betzler is outstanding, as is Scarlett Johansson as Rosie Betzler. Taika Waititi along with directing the picture also stars as Adolf Hitler, yes Adolf.



The trailer doesn't give away the film actually has friendship at the centre of the film. The movie is actually beautiful in parts.

I got a bit emotional yes, so this film succeeded with me, forget hate embrace understanding and love. A good message for 2020 right.

When will the world take Taika Waititi's message on board? 2020 has commenced and it's not that great that far. So it's entertaining films like this, we need right now. Like pop music, good films like this allow us a distraction, an escape from everyday reality.

Taika Waititi has slayed of late, first Boy then the brilliant Hunt for the Wilderpoeple, the third Thor film, not to mention the upcoming fourth Thor film, Thor: Love and Thunder.

Waititi is on top of his game right now, Jojo Rabbit gets a solid 3 Stars.
