I am not actually sure what you guys are talking about precisely but I just want to tell that of all the Oscar snubs I always find myself baffled how Hans Zimme did not win for Interstellar.

I like Matt Smith and I think he is a great actor but let’s be honest here…you need a more likeable face to lead such a franchise. Like Driver is not your typically handsome HW actor either but he has a likeable face. My English are not the best to express what I am trying to say here so I hope I won’t be misunderstood. I am not calling Smith ugly or dislike in any case. Kirby is a fantastic choice. We will see about the others.

I don’t know if it has been reported but Barbie actually increased in Greece compared to last week. This has not happened since The Joker, a movie that ultimately sold more than 1M admission and is in the all time top 5 in the country. At this rate Barbie could end up in the top 15 as well I think.

Could we be looking at the first year where a female director has the highest grossing film of the year worldwide? The Numbers are insane.

Presales for Monday in Greece are insane. Lots of near-sold out showing. In Greece we don’t typically choose cinema on Monday and we don’t do presales. What a beast. Wednesday with the discount is gonna be a bloodbath.

Just checked Greece’s biggest theatre chain and WTF Barbie has lots of sold-out/near sold out showing for today. Greeks don’t do cinema in Mondays. What a beast. Wednesday, which is typically out most attended day due to the discount, is gonna be crazy. It’s going to be a bloodbath to get a ticket.

I think people are forgetting that capacity was absolutely an issue for both Barbie and Oppenheimer. And imo Barbie will play more like Wonder Woman than they other female skewing movies that everyone keeps bringing up. Where these movies were seen as popular from women, Wonder Woman and now Barbie are seen as important. So I think it could very well leg it out to something ridiculous like 500M +. Is it certain? Absolutely not. Is it impossible? Absolutely not. PS no matter what Barbie end up doing, it is already a massive win for everyone involved. I am baffled how WB did not try to commit Gerwig to ensue a sequel soon and now she is committed on doing those Netflix Narnia films.

Not taking anything away from Gosling and especially Gerwig but Robbie was totally the biggest reason why Barbie succeeded. She is extraordinarily beautiful and has the classic Barbie look down to a T but I won’t even focus on looks… there are plenty of blonde hair/ blue eyes actresses out there. But this character in the hands of a less capable actress would end up looking like a caricature. Robbie delivered a fantastic performance that connected with the target audience. Even in the 2 minutes trailers she was sincere and charming and confident. Like I love Anne Hathaway to death but her Barbie would not click the same way. I won’t even talk about the Amy Schumer version…

I believe Barbie will see better legs compared to your typical summer blockbusters. For one, it ain't a superhero film. Actually i think it will play like one superhero film and that's Wonder Woman. 500M DOM is within reach for Barbie. And given its results in LATAM and Europe, Barbie will make over 1B. It won't go over Mario but 1.1B maybe. A huge win all thing considered, even if it doesn't reach that hight. I get that the writing's on the wall with this one but a month ago sited were giving it a 40M ow.

By the way, i am pretty sure Barbie is about to suprass #ReleaseTheSnyderCut as the most tweeted about movie event at 2m + tweets. Combined with great WOM this will make a killing.

R-rated 3-hour drama will make in almost 4 days what greatest-of-all-time TheFlash did in its lifetime. Barbie is absolutely nuts. I believe both the OW multy as well as overall mutly will be great for it. I could see a Wonder Woman scenario repeating itself for WB. Happy for both films.

The most interesting and unexpected thing that happened for me in the last years is that Barbie, after watching it, sparked one of the most interesting conversations among me and my male friends.

Biggest theatre chain in Greece has now taken showings from all other movies and have given them to Barbie. Basically they only play Barbie now. I checked all locations and the vast majority is sold out with few being near-sold out for opening day. And it actually has many sold out showing throughout out the weekend. The most impressive thing is that Thursday- Sunday are not typical the day that Greeks choose to go to a movie. I am absolutely at awe at Barbie’s presales. It is performing like an event comic book movie in a pre-Covid world or like NWH. Absolutely bonkers. PS Oppenheimer does not open here until August.

Could we be looking into another Avengers (2012) opening for Barbie where everyone know we have a huge success upon ass but we have still underestimated it ?

Headed to theatre contemplating hiding my face as good as I could so people won’t see me getting into a Barbie screening, went out telling how much I liked the film. Gerwig ,Robbie and Goslin are insane for pulling this off .

Wait is it me? Am I wrong? Or do these jumps seem ridiculous? Wtf…

Ummm WTF…Barbie is selling great in Greece. It has about 15 near sold out showing in Athens through out its opening weekend and most of them are in freaking Thursday. Like this may not seem like a lot but in Greece we do not to presales and definitely not presales on a Thursday for a film that opens in a week unless it is a huge ass Marvel event film. In fact I don’t recall Marvel’s latest films being this presales heavy. This about to become WB’s biggest success here since The Joker in Greece (obviously not on the same level as TJ because that was just a one of a kind juggernaut here — top 5 movies of all time with week to week increases and extraordinary legs ).

Margot Robbie is trending on Greek twitter with all kinds of “icon” “queen” “goddess” tweets. This some times happens in Greece with HW actors after a huge ass success, never before. Last time I saw something similar with a HW actor was Henry Cavill after Witcher S1…and still that was for a tv show anyone could watch and still not at the same level.

WB probably still trying to cope in a post-greatest of all time-Flash world.

Pretty sure Henry was also in Nolan’s shortlist for Batman.

Pretty sure Nolan insisted on Cavill when Zack wanted Manganiello. Other than that yeah he never looked back after this.

Henry Cavill today after filming a scene for this and they used a bad cgi shot of him…

What tf was up with this film’s horrendous cgi.fucking awful.How did they allowed it to be released ? The story was passable but this is the first time the cgi takes me out off the movie.Guess the big ass budget was spent on Miller’s lawyers.

Friendly reminder that at some point Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the directors of Into the Spider-Verse, where attached to helm this but got fired only to release a -seemingly- far better journey-through-the-multiverse movie.

Question… wasn’t Detective Pikatchu super viral with every promotional thing that was released before its premiere and eventually it sort of disappointed?
