  1. Amy Schumer’s Barbie would have clearly also raked in boatloads of cash because of Barbie’s iconic brand name…

     

    Get real. Gerwig (and Robbie) made Barbie: The Movie as huge as it is. The brand certainly had the reach *potential* sure, but people are seeing Barbie because it’s a Gerwig and Robbie Barbie movie. Don’t get it twisted.

    Meg 2 feels like one of those “They made another one?” movies. We had fun the first time but did we need to go back? 

     

    Mission: Impossible was definitely a victim of a poor release date. Shoulda gone to August. 

     

    Coupled with clunky marketing and an unfortunate title. The only thing not going against this films financial prospects was the film itself.

    I am fine with folks making bad BO prediction. But analyzing the box office based on knowledge is a different thing. I dont see how we can excuse someone following it for 30 years not understanding why Barbie stayed flat. Or when he made really bad projections after previews or weekend BO. That is not rocket science. 

     

    Exactly. He's fabricating a talking point by playing ignorant to factors he should have easily considered.

    To try to keep it above MI7 final DOM??

     

    Plus, if they want Haunted Mansion to try to get kids/families, that won't help with Elemental still there...

    If they wanted the Elemental children's audience they would have gone for a PG rating. Haunted Mansion isn't really direct competition imo.

    Pleased with Elemental's Monday number which is $950k. Ever just so barely breaks the $1 million day streak 

    I think Ele can stay above 1m from today till next Monday, given there isn't much competition on this Thursday's previews, and it has typically had a stronger wed than mon and a rise on thurs over wed.

    $26m for Barbie seems huge. Down only 40% is pretty wild. So much for “female driven films are frontloaded”

     

    Oppenheimer beating Inception’s hold is sublime. I imagine it could have taken a shot at TDK’s glorious Monday hold but the long runtime may have caused the latest shows to be a bit weaker, 3 hours is a lot for a Monday night.

     

    Hoping for prolonged greatness from these movies. 
     

    Barbie is a lock for $400m, hopefully it can clear $500m with ease too. Gonna get crazy and hope Oppenheimer has a shot at $350m. 

     

     

     

     

     

    It will be over 300m (and probably over 350m) by the end of this weekend. I would shift everything up 100m. 500m is locked. 600m should be cleared with ease.

    Not all movies but some like Challengers (now sent to next year) are going to heavily rely on actor promotion that isn't possible during a strike. I imagine almost all the sequels/IP-based movies and some of the aspiring awards titles (like the ones just announced for TIFF) are staying to keep the box office for the rest of the year going and keeping exhibitors happy, but some like Dune 2 (already in a tough spot considering how packed the rest of November is) that want those social media moments with the stars could become strike insurance for 2024 due to the backlog caused by the shutdown.

    Really? They need to stop the trailers in theaters. Had it last night in front of Barbie.

    Barbie breakout is a sign that a movie is indeed rely on its visual to wow audience. The movie fully embrace its pink as eye-candy troops. Like Avatar 2, these two movies make me a grateful person on how I am not a blind and I will take care my eyes every second from now.

     

    Remember, we say we watch or see a movie. Of course eyes is the first organ that a movie should pleasure

    :Gaga: What’s the second?

    More Dolby screens would be very welcome, they're almost always fully booked for big movies. I have a theater less than 5 minutes away from me but they only have 1 mediocre Imax screen. Would definitely go more if they built a Dolby theater. 

    Agreed. Plus with monthly subscription plans it renders the extra cost of Dolby obsolete. I pay $25 a month for my Stubbs A-List membership at AMC. I don’t know why anyone who frequents the movies wouldn’t get that or the equivalent at a competitor. I’ve seen 4 films already this month in Dolby and I’ve still only spent the $25.

    Dunkirk dropped 25% on Sunday, but Nolan’s other 3 movies in July had really good Sunday numbers. Hoping we see that again here for Oppenheimer. 
     

    TDK - 8.5% 

    TDKR - 10.5%
    Inception - 11.8%
    Dunkirk - 24.6%
     

    Oppy’s Saturday increase of 15.5% is very similar to Inception’s 16% Saturday increase. Would be pretty cool if it can also do something similar to Inception on Sunday at 12% drop. 


    Inception seems like a good comp for now. Anyone know what it’s 62.8m dom opening adjusts to in 2023? Seems like it will be pretty close to what Oppie does this weekend.

    1.8 million on Friday is good for Elemental. Sets up for maybe a $6.3 million weekend. Nice hold for all the Barbenheimer craziness 

    I could see 6.7 happening. It’s Sat/Sun has grown stronger than it’s Friday’s with each passing weekend. 
     

    1.8

    2.7

    2.2
