Absolutely astonishing run! What a triumph for Nolan. 1 billion is doable. Just need a little award season push and re-release. It will chip away in IMAX the rest of the way.
If you look into deep level stats there were a dozen if not more markets where it beat FALLOUT. Despite facing Barbenheimer and losing IMAX and PLF. Issue is that some big markets it disappointed which tarnishes the overall picture. USA, China, Korea underwhelmed. Main thing is that WoM is good and folks will check it out on other formats than theatrical by the time DR2 rolls out. Franchise is in a good spot.
So after next weekend BARBIE will have AVATAR in sight to claim all time #6. It will climb even higher with the deluxe screenings coming.
OPPY will have TDKR and DUNKIRK in sight to enter all time top 30 and become the highest grossing Nolan film. Next goal after that is JOKER (£58m) for highest 15 rated movie ever.
MI7 passed FALLOUT, so everything is gravy from here. Would be nice to catch TLM (£27.2m)
