A little over 13m to reach the 500m threshold. WORLDWIDE $486,738,359 Do we think it can? Domestic is all but dried up. Not sure how much more the rest of its markets have in them, but it's going to be within 10m.

I think Barbie could hold steady with about $3.8-4m this weekend. I don't see it increasing much.

Are there any comps for films that only played Thurs/Fri through Sunday? Are there any other films that released with a weekend-only schedule? Curious if this creates a stronger than normal Sunday due to it being unavailable the following days.

Yes. Further along in a films run Sundays tend to be a bit heavier than Fridays, and Barbie has been performing stronger on Sundays since it’s second weekend (outside of weekend #5).

Yep. This will easily make 2x IM. I feel like 300m in its 4 release weekends is the floor. My bet is on 400m+ by the end, and then perhaps an extension through the Holidays due to it still playing well. If that happens I could see 500m happen. These numbers might sound crazy but only if you haven't seen the Eras Tour numbers. I know they aren't officially out yet cause I believe Taylor is waiting for a specific milestone, but it's in the billions. She's clearing 13m a night, and that's in a single city, of which have multiple nights. I don't know one person who went to the concert who isn't going back to relive the fun they had for much cheaper and less effort. Not to mention each show had gatherings of thousands outside the venue to listen and sing along who will undoubtedly attend the film to actually see the show. Just from concert/venue-goer attendance alone this will make $90m+, and that's not counting repeat viewings.

For only having shows starting at 6pm on Friday, it looks like most theaters now have showings every 30 mins through 11pm. That's 11 shows per theater for Friday. I don't think the Friday number will suffer much from lack of matinees.

38m 3-day creates a nice pattern. And a 103m finish. Equalizer - 34m (101m) Equalizer 2 - 36m (102m) Equalizer 3 - ??

So that 26m opening day presale figure is just AMC.... wow. I'm thinking we could be looking at a 200m opening weekend...

And an obstructed view from the edge/behind the stage (so you can’t really see the front of the main stage, just the catwalk where it sticks out). I had friends pay $600 each a couple days before one of the LA shows for these type of seats.

Because 13 is her favorite number. She number codes everything, hence the unusual special pricing.

At least those flop appearances were essentially glorified cameos. She wasn't on screen for more than 5 minutes in either.

Higher than Monday. Nice.

Pretty sure every seat will be sold in every showing on opening weekend. Question will be how many screens/shows it gets. It's nearly 3 hrs long.

She’s touring the rest of the world for the next year. I doubt she releases it anywhere else till she’s finished touring the region.

Was able to score two tickets in Dolby (which were $24.95 if I recall correctly in the mad dash) after having to wait 10 minutes in a queue and reload each AMC screen a few times. This is going to easily top 100m OW as long as it’s given the screen count. I’m having to go to a different theater to see if in Dolby cause my usual one has it on the IMAX screen but not the Dolby one. I bet that changes at some point. What else are they saving it for? Also I was not able to use my Stubs A-List for this. Miss Swift is collecting all the coins on this.

Barbie thurs 2.29 fri 4.5 (+95%) sat 6.0 (+35%) sun 4.5 (-25%) 6th wkd 15.0 (-28.5%) 592.7 total

Barbie should be at about 593m by Sunday. Possible it hits 600m next thurs, it’s 42nd day of release.

i’m really hoping they cross the 300m and 600m thresholds together, on the same day. 🙏🏻

Have you asked them why? Most weren’t talking about plotholes lmao. Their widdle egos were hurt.

Tues should be 3.25m or more. Wed should be only slightly down from Mon. 2.5 3.3 2.4 2.2

Did someone say home nuked bag popcorn is better than movie theater popcorn?

so far so good..

Some schools are back. I think the bulk of them go back next week, however. That's why I gave the Fri bump a moderate increase of 60%, 20% better than last Fri. I think next Fri the increase will reach >80%.

Thurs 3.85 fri 6.2 (+60%) sat 9.0 (+45%) sun 7.2 (-20%) 5th wkd 22.4 (-33.7%) 568.16m total
