IO2 is getting weaker thank TS4 same days. I think $660m dom is the ceiling now.

Please, tell me this is a fan-poster made from one of the movie stills released last week?

What's your current prediction for D&W opening?

Cavill (in MoS) - 9/10 (-1p. because of the colors, but he could have looked perfect in the Black Adam variant. shame he was there only for 14 seconds) Corenswet - 4/10 (I don't like \uperman logo from Kindom Come, don't like the colar (how he would hide the suit under the shirt?), the MCU lines on the costume and overall it looks 1-2 sizes too big for Corenswet (why he worked out so hard for months if they hide it anyway?), it doesn't look alienish at all, the red trunks are not trunks (more like a shorts), and what's the worst - I don't see Superman in David's face. Reeve WAS SUPERMAN, Cavill WAS SUPERMAN, even Routh looked the part, but Corenswet (just like Hoechlin to me) doesn't fit into the part.

Inside Out 2 is already ahead of Incredibles 2 and the last summer's Barbie (with better 2nd weekend and a smaller drop!) after 10 days in release. Those films finished their box office runs with $608.6m and $636.2m respectively. With a summer as "empty" as 2024 one I don't see how this new Pixar hit would miss $640m dom. Meanwhile... Inside Out 2’s hold is nothing short of spectacular. After its opening weekend, our model predicted a final domestic total of $455 million for the film, based on comparable openings. Its new prediction this morning is $558 million, and something well beyond that remains a possibility. After a slow May, this is exactly the boost the market needed. https://the-numbers.com/news/257100830-Weekend-projections-Inside-Out-posts-100-million-second-weekend Bruce Nash at his finest Comparable openings are TDK nad R1 - both with +$530m final domestic results.

Idiotic subtitle. Why couldn't it just be Furiosa?

This was caused by huge competition in the summer of 2013. And remember, with today's ATP MoS would have around $390m domestic and +$800m ww = similiar level to The Batman's numbers (Matt Reeve's film also could have grossed much more if not the strong advertising HBO Max premiere 45 days after theatrical release date).

I would say even less than that (under $500m WW). The DC brand is now at the bottom. To make a successful film, they need to regain the trust of the audience. Shazam !!, The Flash, Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2 (rumors about its quality are not promising) will not do that. So, Superman: Legacy will be the first DCU film after 8 box office flops/bombs in a row, most of which were poorly received by GA. No one will want to pay for another DCU movie, even if it's a Superman movie with great reviews. No trust = no $$$. Especially, not after the circumstances of Henry Cavill's departure from the role and the controversial decisions of Zaslav/Gunn/Safran (Keaton's removal, Batgirl's cancelation, reboot but not complete reboot). I think the only DC movies in the next three years that will be a box office success are Joker 2 and The Batman Part Two. DCU has had bad PR from the start and nothing has changed so far (and I think won't change by the end of the next year).

Barbie is 16.67% ahead of TDK after its 3rd weekend = around $622.2 million final dom. But Barbie is gaining more and more every day and will have weaker competition than TDK had in 2008. I think the target for Barbie is $630-660m. On the other hand, Jurrasic World ($652.3m dom) is currently almost $41 million ahead of Barbie and had better weekends so far +also summer weekdays from now on and a big boost on its 12th weekend (LDW). Catching it won't be easy, I'm convinced that Oppenheimer is heading for the $310-320m dom. M:I-7 is the saddest box office story of the summer Summer 2023 (Top10): Barbie $645m Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse $381m Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 $359m Oppenheimer $315m The Little Mermaid $297.2m Sound of Freedom $183m Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny $173.5m Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One $166m Transformers: Rise of the Beasts $157.4m Elemental $153.5m

Avatar movies have a bit of live-action in them and performance-capture characters. The Lion King is 100% CGI. Disney's Dinosaur (2001) is less animated film than TLK, 2019 (real backgrounds, flora) and it is an animated movie.

Barbie is now 14.3% ahead of TDK and gaining everyday. I think $600m is pretty safe at this point, especially with August and September empty. JW's $653.4m will be a real challenge here - to do this, Barbie needs more than x4 multi, so far only one non-December release had over x4 multi* and it was TGM). *among +$100m openers

Okay. For me, it was probably the worst film I've seen in cinema this year, next to the last Ant-Man (I went to the cinema 13 times this year - Fabelmans, Quantumania, Creed III, Scream VI, John Wick 4, Air, GotG3, Across the Spider-Verse, The Flash, Indy5, M:I-7, Oppie and Barbie). Probably the worst screening I've been to since JWD last year.

I finally got to see Barbie and... wow. I can't remember the last time I was so embarrassed during a movie screening and wanted to leave the theater. The issues raised by the film are important and the message is right, but this is such an awkward and not fanny comedy It's sad that this is the movie that breaks the last TDK and HP7.2 records to become the new WB king. I don't get the hype and I don't get the legs. In a perfect world, M:I-7 crushes it at the box office.
