It definitely seems that the trailer is showcasing more "fun" in the performances. Seems very much like Inception. Trailer was solid, Definitely holds back a bit on the set pieces, which I expect to be spectacular. The previous trailer/prologue/sizzle reel was better. If the prologue gives a sense of how the rest of the movie will be, it's gonna be a great ride.

Usually I complain that these boards make me feel old, but the nostalgia for drive-in theaters lately has made me feel young. Just not my bag at all. I have more chance concentrating watching on a cell phone than that, even.
Huh. Why's that? To be fair I haven't been to a drive-in in a long time but I would think it would be a cool experience. Get to watch a double feature, can bring your own snacks/drinks to a lot of them. Definitely different, but I don't think it would be anymore distracting than watching something at home.
-
Would love to see it in IMAX, however, I don't think me or my partner would feel comfortable going to the theater. I will go to the drive-in to see this though, should be a fun experience.

How much juice does it have left OS? Enough to reach 300m WW?

Low to mid 90s could (emphasis on could) happen. It shouldn't drop a crazy amount even when you factor in previews.

I only have my phone at the moment, so someone please correct me if I’m wrong as I can’t hunt for data - if TROS makes $28-30M today, it should make at least that on Friday, no? I just don’t see how a catastrophic drop is possible with the calendar layout and that sort of Monday number.
Yes theoretically. Wednesday through Saturday should all be pretty similar gross wise, maybe even close to flat day to day.

Well if he's ever gonna do a Bond film, the next one after Craig is done will probably be it. But I doubt he will, he's got too good of a thing going with WB where he can make whatever the hell he wants.

I don't think it is connected to Inception though this will no doubt be endlessly debated until release.

I'm all in, hell of a trailer. This is gonna be a big hit. 75m+ OW.
-
Tenet could be the big breakout of the summer. The calendar works out for it so well. It's got very little demo competition before it releases and practically none after release. Should have wonderful late summer legs and it will open to 50m+ minimum if the reviews are good.
-
Definitely feels like a 2014-esque year next year. But that does leave room for a few breakouts. Could be less boom and bust and more things doing just well.

It would make money but my god is that the only era where they are allowed to do these movies? You've got thousands of years of world-building and canon and they're restricting everything to one stretch.
I'd be down for a Palpatine origin story done in the style of Wolf of Wall Street or Succession where he is a politically backstabbing rich dude who is fundamentally evil beyond the dark side, not some Joker fake profound moody ass bullshit.
I agree with the frustration with setting everything in that era,. But if we are talking about safe bets that would for sure be one. Would appeal massively to both fans and the GA and you could do it at a lower budget level realistically (like 150 or so).
I would love a very hammy young Palpy movie.
-
I mean the obvious answer is doing a Vader movie hunting down Jedi between ROTS and ANH. That would for sure be a massive hit.

All down to what that movie actually is. I keep thinking about the direction they could take and it's always the same problems that I see. Anything straying too far might not appeal to the traditional fans and markets and the new markets won't care either due to the brand being dead. Anything too familiar will just bring about a collective shrug from ALL markets.
Maybe try the Ranger Solo approach? A movie in a COMPLETELY different corner of the universe, new characters, new story, no SW brand for Asian markets.
If they wanted to do it KOTOR would be cool, but that seems to be the most basic answer on something that can appeal to the fanbase, still feel familiar enough for the GA with the traditional SW elements, but add enough new freshness to where they can market it differently and get out of the OT's orbit

Thinking about 175 domestic OW, 480 final domestic total - but holidays could very well propel it over 500. They definitely need to reassess the franchise and let it breathe for a few years outside of Disney+. I'd can any planned 2022 movie and start thinking about bringing it back in five years in 2024 instead, at a minimum. People blame Last Jedi, and despite my serious love for that movie it definitely did impact things a little. But I'd argue that Rogue One and especially Solo coming out diluted the brand. Remember how special a new Star Wars movie felt? Even if TLJ was divisive, Rise of Skywalker would still feel special as the final main saga film in a franchise that keeps itself fairly sparse. But we've gotten a movie a year since 2015 plus a TV show and multiple video games, with many more things announced (no one feels this is the actual finale) - just feels less of a special event.
I still think the 2022 movie will happen. They are already planning an extended break (well as extended as we get in the franchise world of today). But I concede it may end up in the weird middle ground where it's simultaneously been too long where SW has left the general public's consciousness and not long enough to get nostalgia for the franchise to build back up.

I think a lot of disney friendly publications are taking what little he said about his sequel ideas out of context, to make it seem like he would make some abomination and we should be happy for getting JJ and RJ.
From what context there is the movies wouldn't be about force biology or osmosis jones, there would be something like those clone wars episode where Yoda meets the ghost of Qui Gon and the five princesses. So a lot more spiritual than mechanical
Maybe. I'm sure there would have been cool stuff and I don't want to discount that George would have made something more interesting and unique with the world he would have built than what we ended up getting. But it probably would have been less focused on character, which I think the first 2 movies of the ST excelled at (and which George really let slide in the prequels).

From what we’ve heard about George’s treatments for 7-9, they sound very in the weeds about the mechanical workings of the force. It would have been very George Lucas, for better and for worse.

Dunkirk cost half as much money to make.
Sure, but this has way more OS (specifically Asia) potential than that. Hell, even more DOM potential
-
200m DOM/700m WW seems reasonable, not that that is guaranteed.
-
Nolan is a brand unto himself. This seems way more audience friendly than something like Dunkirk.

PAPA NOL∀N'S TENƎꓕ | August 26 internationally. September 2 "in select US cities" | 75% on RT after 228 reviews
in Box Office Discussion
Posted · Edited by Jayhawk the Hutt
NYC has to begin Phase One of reopening by next Friday (6/5) to have their theaters opened up by 7/17 according to NYS' guidelines btw. Just something to look out for.
