    Wow that's a big bump for Barbie. I guess after the harsher Monday drop that makes sense. 

     

    Using Lion King as an example since it's late July it made 64m from it's 4th Tuesday. Even at minimum Barbie makes 601m if you add 64m. And Barbie has been holding way better so looking at other examples....

     

    Jurassic World made 87m after it's 4th Tuesday which would put Barbie at 624m. 

     

    Using Incredibles 2 as an example, it made 96m after it's 4th Tuesday. That puts Barbie at around 633m.

    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 is crushes it at the box office.

    Your definition of a perfect world is a Mission Impossible movie makes money?:hahaha:

    If that 15 million number holds up for Barbie it would be the 11th largest second Monday ever. If you left out the Christmas holidays' second Mondays it would be behind Shrek 2 and TPM (though those had Memorial?) for number 3.

     

    TGM did 12.4 million for second Monday.

    150 marketing budget for Barbie would be insane, I don’t really get it when social media was so much of it. 

     

    Well there was a ton of it. Just the toys alone and crossover promotions. Clothing. Food. Restaurants.

    The ancillaries however will easily pay for the marketing budget many times over.

    For a historical perspective, let's be honest that bomb did not need to be dropped. 

     

    Okay the historian in me is unleashed. Side tracked the topic a bit here, but the bomb actually had to be dropped to be believed though. 

     

    Ironically even after the bombings the Japanese Cabinet was still deadlocked and the Emperor had to personally intervene twice just to get them to actually surrender. The Soviet invasion was the final nail on the coffin. Both events were influential on the decision


    Japan had been hoping that by negotiating with the Soviets they could have peace without surrendering. The US was aware of all this of course since they already broke the Japanese diplomatic codes awhile back and knew the Japanese weren't considering unconditional surrender.


    The first atomic bomb was on August 6th (Hiroshima). It was not until a cabinet meeting on August 9th, which was after the Soviet invasion and the Nagasaki atomic bombing, when surrender was fully on the agenda. The Japanese emperor had to personally intervene and ordered the cabinet into surrendering (since there was a deadlock with the war faction). There was even an attempted military coup on August 14th to seize the recording of the emperor's broadcast of the surrender. 

     

    The Japanese were planning to resist with millions of people and troops in the main islands and the US invasion planners knew it and were scared of the casualties. Invasion of Japan itself could have killed millions. Imagine the casualties of Okinawa and multiply that with all of Japan. That's what was facing US invasion planners and Truman. 

     

    I get that there's an attempt to portray Japan as helpless in the final months of the war (especially pushed by Japanese revisionist right wingers) but the fact was Japan was ready to fight. The US wasn't even sure of it's own manpower requirements. The book Downfall goes into great detail on how the US divisions for the invasion of the main islands weren't even remotely ready or filled. 

     

    Oppenheimer isn't even a pro-war movie either, so some of the the Japanese online only crowd's fuss is just that. Unnecessary. I am curious to see how the movie performs there. If it ever gets a release.

    Sorry, I personally don't support jokes on Wars - Internet Sensation is a different thing but Barbie Officials calls "It's going to be a summer to remember 😘💕" can't be forgiving - You can see voice of Public Anger under this tweet - 

     

     

    Its quite telling none of those Japanese posters have even seen Oppenheimer yet. It's not exactly some super pro-war movie. 

     

    And we're not even getting into the debate of the atomic bombings themselves. I get those Japanese posters are sensitive about it since they're posting pictures of victims in replies to no doubt gain sympathy, but do they need to be reminded who started the events of the Pacific part of WW2 by invading Manchuria then China? It's not like the US decided to randomly bomb Imperial Japan. 

     

    Anyways end of the day some very online posters who weren't going to see either movie anyways are going to boycott it isn't really a story. Just some new online faux outrage.

    That's the cast for Copland and in my opinion it's such a terrific movie and the performances by pretty much everybody are out of this world especially from Ray Liotta and Stallone of course. It's a bit of a slow burn and obviously a huge departure from what Stallone usually did and if anybody here hasn't seen it and is looking for a fantastic movie with an All-Star cast I'd highly recommend it.

     

    Copland is wonderful. A very good and different performance from Stallone than what you'd usually expect when you hear he plays a cop.

    Barbie with 29 million is like a 38% increase. TDK did 41%. If Barbie basically follows TDK a bit less this weekend even with a conservative predict. Sunday might turn out flatter like last weekend though.

     

    Friday: 29 million

    Saturday: 34 million (+18%) TDK did 21%

    Sunday: 28 million (-17%) TDK did -16%

     

    91 million-ish would be a 43% drop.
