Critics can suck my dick for all I care. All Hail GOD SNYDER

Doesn't feel like tons of people are watching. Personally I find RDJ's mugging to be a bit distracting but style is off the charts as expected from Park Chan Wook. Vietnamese accents are a bit off, definitely 2nd generation folks but that's OK! Good pilot though a little disorienting at the beginning.

Some 25m away is a hefty distance for re-releases to get to. Interstellar did manage to do that, but it took a re-release in China during the pandemic to get there. I don't know if Oppenheimer is gonna lend itself to the same kind of re-releases, especially given how wide the IMAX release was, or at least, how long it was played in IMAX (and seen in IMAX) comparatively to Interstellar. Nonetheless, 975m is an astonishing total. Nearly double the ceiling I had in my mind lol.

I suppose I should update the title one last time. I don't think Oppenheimer will add more than like 15m at the top end, and more realistically 10m or less.

If we are looking at higher than 28m it’ll do about 85m. Sunday will be a soft drop with heavy PLF demand

Time to make the thread, this will be the official previews number tomorrow.

10 year re-release in an empty post August market makes a lot of sense. And it'll probably do some sizable numbers given how many people seemingly missed this in IMAX the first go around.

I think there is more emotional payoff here but I wouldn't say it's transformative. The important thing is that most characters are not being set up solely for a future arc, there is a genuine arc that our leads are going through with a promised payoff, and with it, emotional moments that result of that. Chani/Zendaya especially drive this. I still think there is a sterile-ness to it overall and I don't know, lack of a fully human touch that prevents it from being this 'all time great' that some declared, but it is a fair improvement. I think this is why I don't consider it leagues over the first, fundamentally I think the two movies could stand to be a little weirder and a little less overly serious. Don't get me wrong, there is more humor in this film but the seriousness of its characters and tone feels oppressive in both films still. I guess it was never reasonable to expect they'd change much gears, but it's also why I can't consider one hugely better than the other.

Can't speak for the album but I found the score to be overwhelming in this (not in a good way), a lot of bass that ends up blurring together as droning for large portions of this and I didn't recall having this feeling in Part One's score. A couple of nice tracks that spring up towards the end though

It's better than Part One but I'm also not over the moon tbh. It's more Dune, but this time it's actually providing resolution to its arcs. Bardem is the highlight for me, whether intentional or maybe slightly unintentional.

Too lazy to count/400 Comps: Dune Reissue: Over 9 billion Oppenheimer: Over 1 billion Reminiscence: 100 billion

Cavill's fun in Fallout. He's not a great actor but his physical presence definitely added a lot to Fallout. Reloading arms was all him!
