It actually had one of the best PTA this weekend despite dropping 80%. It's because they just pulled it from cinemas. $1,000 in 4899 theatres. That's a pretty good number.

Ok, now you're posting like an idiot, got it. You either can't read or you are just trolling. Not gonna explain something that a 5-year old could understand regarding IMAX and PLF. Have a good night, sir.

It seems to me that MI7 was pretty much capped in this market. It opened 10 times less theatres than THE FLASH. 17x less theatres than FAST X and TF. It had a good PTA, just wasn't screened in enough cinemas.

It gives more insight than actual documantary would do. So many aspects of the league covered nicely, great writing. Not surprising given the research and the access they got from the league. Great cast and characters. Season 1 is only a little flavour, it gets so much better. I hope they do another season and they do a team movie night watching BARBIE haha

Ah yes, proper insight. Give me a break. The jokes don't sit well cause they're not funny. Truly one of those shows that people will look back on years from now and say "THAT shit was an award-winning show?".
Dude, you are so uneducated in the matter. You can dislike it, of course and find it unfunny, but can't ignore simple facts. Yes, it gives great insight. Actual managers from the PL praising the show. All football/soccer fans love the show. It was made for them. But the true beauty of it that it managed to find an audience beyond that. You can't do that unless the show offers something unique.

It never really knew what it wanted to be. Schmaltzy bullshit with harsh language once in a while. Try-hard stereotype characters, completely unbelievable writing, terrible acting from most of the supporting cast and not even remotely funny.
And that's before the wasted opportunities with the setting.
Ted Lasso should have been a Veep-style insane satire that actually understands football, the British culture around it and the press and dives fully into it. Or it should have stayed a ten minute advert as it was originally.
Unwatchable dreck.
lol Ted Lasso is the funniest, most inspirational, heart-warming comedy out there that gives a great insight to one of the most popular sporting leagues on the planet. Suppose if someone isn't a fan of the PL some of the jokes don't sit.

Avatar is the most impressive run. 'Endgame' had 11 films of buildup or whatever it was. 20 films. I don't know. Avatar was a brand new IP and it didn't have a crazy opening weekend either. It just got bigger and bigger..
Avatar's big trick was the pull of the 3D. It doesn't touch the run of TITANIC or even ET imho.

that makes no sense, MI is an action film, the other are a comedy and biopic, MI should not struggle this bad, wom must just be ok, if they are not telling their friends to see it
It makes sense. Not sure if you are ridiculously naive or just a hater. You don't have to be a genius to understand what a behemoth does to the market. Plus MI obviously lost IMAX and PLF, the formats that it was marketed to people to see the film. Paramount blew this, there's no way back now unfortunately. The good news is, the film is great, reception is great, so all set for DR2 to succeed.

TENET is still better than most action films made today. It is not amazing in Nolan standards, but still has a lot to offer. The two main leads are good and it was some amazingly executed action sequences. The film makes sense if you pay attention to it. Just asks a lot from the audience, but that's the same with most Nolan films including OPPENHEIMER. I don't fault him making an intellectual blockbuster. I'm happy that he decided to do OPPENHEIMER next though, because that's the type of films of his I really enjoy. Rewatching THE PRESTIGE atm, what an absolute masterclass of storytelling that is.

I think the success of OP might break him, so I enjoy his pathetic meltdowns.

Nolan isn’t a innocent bystander here. He is one of the main and most mainstream culprits on making the stigma against CGI shots and furthering the divide. He is a legit asshole for still playing this stunt, and it’s not cute. I love the man’s films, this happens with several films, but Nolan is the one that keeps saying that there is no CGI on his shit, to the point that he won’t even fucking credit them on his film. He should be properly called out for this.
What an absolute pathetic response. This is no big deal. People get left out from credits all time. It's not the director's job. It happened before, it will happen again. Move on.

The film is 3 hours long anyway, don't need an extra two minutes of credits. It is very common that some small VFX personnel goes uncredited. Probably half of the MCU stunts people don't get credit. People think that VFX department being the one with the most uncredited credits. However, in fact they are third (with 9% of their credits going uncredited), behind casting (15%) and the stunt department (25%).

WoM is great. It had great holds in markets where there wasn't a BARBENHEIMER storm. It just got wiped out by a unique phenomenon. I think there's still a chance that it beats FALLOUT in a few markets.
-
OP is going to do fine legs wise, IMAX and PLF won't go quietly into the night, it will rage all summer long. It already had a disadvantage due to its run time and worked out just fine (more than just fine) over the weekend. It had limitation of showtimes, but also it's going to lose less shows the upcoming weeks compared to BARBIE, so week 3 onwards expecting softer drops for OP.
-
I think 2 billion is very much in play here. The current trajectory sees BARBIE 1.25 billion and OP 750m. This could go up and down a bit, but can totally see it happening. Barbenheimer will dominate the rest of the summer and smash everything that's coming their way.

I can't see how BARBIE doesn't beat MARIO, summer weekdays are key advantage.
OP will beat INCEPTION and clear 300. Awesomeness.
-
They should absolutely go for original. OP and KILLER OF THE FLOWER MOON will be in adapted.
-
What they can do to improve the box office is to bring along a few younger faces. TGM was obviously out of this world good, but Miles Teller and the younger cast really helped for that film to unlock the younger audience. They usually don't turn up in huge numbers for a MI film. TikTok is king atm when it comes to marketing.
-
If the new openers will combine to 240m again on the second weekend of DR2 then they are in trouble. Otherwise the franchise is in the right place. McQ said that they have no idea how they end the film. I always thought that it will be done like a finale. And it will be bigger and better than DR1, which was just a set-up for the fireworks that are coming in DR2. Air combats will be back. Cruise will probably do other stuff and maybe a few years down the road he'll do one last mission to show everyone that he can still do stuns at the age of 70.

If Nolan were to direct the sequel with Greta as a co-writer, TFA and AVATAR would be going down.

Woohoo, Koopa crowned as champion, well done @Rorschach. Also credit to @Fancyarcher, you were a tough cookie to compete against. Amazingly written game @SLAM!, it was exciting from start to finish.
