  1. Anyone here watch Shin Ultraman yet? I missed it when it was theaters in my city so was considering renting it.
  2. Reading through here there were people expecting BB to open higher than 25M~ DOM? I thought the range months and months and months ago was 20M to 30M DOM. Seems like it came in on target. Supes Legacy is so far away that who knows? Will depend on release date, how the marketplace is doing, reviews, etc.
  3. So what's the weekend numbers? I keep waiting for Barbie to have one of those weekend to weekend mega holds and it keeps dropping 35+ or 40+ percent.
  4. Phantom Menace did insane admissions back in 1999 too. 464M DOM back then has got to be something like 750M~ DOM now. OT sold a lot of tickets for the first of the sequels and prequels.
  5. Not sure bashing him for Tenet or, years ago, something like Dark Knight Rises is all that hipster as, even though well received enough, those are his two worst received movies since Dark Knight. Every well liked director will receive this kind of backlash if they have a pristine record then a few perceived missteps. This isn't some novel concept. And, given the ratings of his films on Letterboxd which may well be called Hipsterboxd, he's in VERY VERY VERY excellent standing with hipsters. Always has been.
  6. The movies I think of when I think of Dark Knight are Heat but much more so and to your point Dirty Harry. Not sure it was intentional but it's A LOT like Dirty Harry. Which... Isn't a bad thing. A LOT like Dirty Harry.
  7. Eh. Hipster bashing Nolan would've been a hipster thing like a decade ago maybe? He's old now. Been 15+ years since TDK. It's like bashing Spielberg or Scorsese now kinda. Hipster bashing now would be bashing Gerwig this summer since Barbie dropped.
  8. So... Are the numbers expected to remain about the same with Meg edging out Oppenheimer and Oppenheimer edging out Turtles? I did my Mutant Megham double feature. Good time. Each was exactly as advertised. Mutant Mayhem should have some nice legs through August and eventually clear 100M DOM. Nice to see Elemental to still chugging along to get to the 5x multiplier. Looks like it's starting to hold pretty well in Japan so wondering if 500M WW is still a possibility for it with decent legs there?
  9. Disney probably thought they couldn't miss with Three Musketeers in '93.
  10. So TGM with a considerably lower OW DOM is looking pretty safe. Nice.
  11. At my AMC Barbie never really had much PLF presence to begin with but TMNT has 4 Dolby screenings today and Oppenheimer has all the other Dolby and/or IMAX screenings. I forgot TMNT actually opens today at 2PM and not tomorrow. So, potentially, if there's any crossover at all which I don't think there is, it could start impacting Barbie and Oppenheimer this afternoon.
  12. Where do people see Barbie after this coming weekend? 460M DOM total? Can it hold well enough for a 60M+ weekend DOM?
  13. Both are just too consistently impressive maybe? What are your thoughts on what Mutant Mayhem and Meg will do this week/weekend?
  14. Guess I just still have PTSD to some of the more notorious fake number threads over the past decade. Haha.
  15. Yup. Delete this thread. EDIT - Charlie swooped in with actual numbers. Disregard. Ha!
  16. I knew I recognized that actress from somewhere but couldn't place the face... Assassination Nation. Very good in both Barbie and Nation.
  17. Weren't Titanic and Avatar each the "most expensive film ever released at the time"? Isn't Avatar 2 that now as well?
  18. So why didn't all the other movies released at the same time as either Gone or Ten replicate their admissions if people were solely there for A/C. Other studio films were releasing then...
  19. Will Barbie/Oppenheimer surpass Last Jedi/Jumanji DOM? They didn't release on exactly the same day but close enough. Think they combined for 1.025B DOM.
  20. I thought both were fine but didn't love either. That said, I do love the life they each injected into the box office. I did like that each felt very true to the filmmaker in each case. It happens. I didn't really love Avatar 2 either. And, while I liked Top Gun 2, I much prefer the Mission films 4 through 7 over it. But, I was very happy others loved those as well to make them each box office juggernauts too.
  21. Try to remember any, even brief, moment of memorable action in the movie aside from a chase scene that felt like something out of a 90s sitcom. I'm sure we'll all get a good look at how she stages action when she releases these Narnia movies she's tied to...
  22. Fart Opera would've been fun and fine. It's not like Blazing Saddles doesn't have widespread farting and it was an admissions monster at the box office. It's not like Despicable Me and Minions movies don't have farting featured in each one somewhat prevalently. A shame she didn't keep it in the final cuts. Wonder what other fun stuff she decided to cut?
  23. Joker's iconic because pretty much every Joker other than Leto is iconic on the big and small screen. Cesar Romero is iconic in the '60s Batman TV series. Nicholson is iconic in Batman '89. Mark Hamill voicing the Joker in Batman The Animated Series is iconic. Ledger is iconic. Leto was a wet fart that everyone already forgot. Phoenix was iconic. BTAS Joker is arguably the best one.
