    I've always thought Earnings Call is when the CEO tries to sound as positive as possible.

     

    So, Iger not speaking so good about most 2023 movies seems a bad sign.

     

    Earnings call is also a chance for analysts & media people to ask very tough questions. This happened with my company when they made some big mistakes, spending too much money on projects that were not able to bring enough revenue to justify the expenses. It finally caught up to us a couple years after the projects began. The earnings call was ugly as hell. VERY tough questions from analysts & media people. The CEO and other executives have very weak answers.

    After Tuesday's grosses, Barbie is at a 2.95x multiplier and Oppenheimer at 2.88x. Barbie will smash past a 3x multiplier either today or tomorrow, and Oppenheimer will sail past on the weekend. What a joy this has been following their runs. Hoping for some really strong late legs from both.

     

    Peace,

    Mike

     

     

     

    TDK was 2.56x, Dunkirk was 2.74x, and Inception was 3.21x at this point from a similar release date. Barbie's performance is jawdropping.

    I have never liked that movie, but I know I’m in the minority. I am also firmly  in the There Will Be Blood Camp, but admittedly I didn’t expect to see several others here say the same haha. 

     

    They're both awesome movies in their own way. Too bad they came out the same year. There Will Be Blood is better than a lot of other movies that won Best Picture through the years.

    First estimates for Oppenheimer monday was 4.0 and it ended with 4.7, so there is still room to grow. 


    Universal has been slower than the other studios pretty much every day, so I guess we will see if this number changes later in the day. If not, then it seems the 3 hour runtime was a big deal for the Canadian holiday boost on Monday.

    That's a great Barbie number of course, but to me Oppy's is even more impressive. It's been more of weekend movie for natural reasons, so a 31% drop is awesome. The only question mark that remains with it is how it'll react when it finally loses IMAX to Gran Turismo

     

    The main thing to me is that Oppy is now ahead of TDKR in daily gross. It only needs 74% of TDKR's daily gross the rest of the way to reach $300 million. This seems very doable. I dare say it's LOCKED to happen. Would be shocking if it's not able to get there based on the trends so far.

    Nah, quite the opposite. I know too much to know the market isn't healthy when a smaller OW wasn't compensated by stronger leg. This isn't just to Oppenheimer, it is to every small film out there with great WOM like Margaret, AIR, the covenant. Their legs aren't stronger  when compared to some $100m+ OW opener with similar WOM.  And this isn't the same case as compared to pre-Covid. 


    Oppy is heading for legs similar to Dunkirk, even though Oppy opened 60% bigger than Dunkirk. It’s a great run. Honestly the legs are better than I expected given the lack of action, lack of humor, and 3 hour runtime.

    Wild to think about that 200M would have been an outstanding total before it opened. Now it just cruises past that.


    Indeed, gonna pass Dunkirk’s inflation-adjusted $220M by Monday. Also gonna pass Dunkirk’s worldwide number pretty soon.

    Even if MI ended up doing better than Oppenheimer over the same time period Paramount were foolish to think IMAX would drop a Nolan movie for anything when he is the IMAX guy. That is the major misstep they made I don't blame Paramount too much for being more wary of Indy 5 than Barbenheimer in terms of BO potential. 


    The dumbest aspect is that Paramount worked closely with IMAX on Nolan’s Interstellar movie. Paramount cannot say they were unaware of Nolan’s IMAX relationship.

    In my area (Orange County, CA) the local Regal was closed but will soon reopen within the next couple weeks under Cinemark. Maybe Cinemark is gobbling up some of the shuttered Regal/Edwards locations. 

     

    I hope this happens with a good percentage of Regal's closing theaters. Keep the options available for customers instead of shutting down permanently and ending up with empty buildings.

    Just found out the Richmond Palladium is re-opening as Cinemark Longmeadow, effective tomorrow. That was one hell of a fast turnaround from Regal shutting it down on July 26th to Cinemark re-opening it this week. That's great news for people who enjoy the IMAX & PLF screens, bowling alley, and so forth at the place.

    Mission Impossible would never get a September release, it's mostly a summer film with the exception of the fourth film which was December and I think Paramount would agree. I think December 2024 might be an option for the next film since next summer is unlikely.

     

    Mission Impossible was scheduled for September 2022. Should have moved it to September 2023. Even August 18 would have been much better than the July mistake.
