    I wouldn't gloat just yet. Oppenheimer is selling pretty good. We also don't have numbers for MI:DR from the Quorum. It could open low too

    I'm not gloating. I don't want to the movie to fail. I just think people are overestimating the movies potential based on Nolans name alone.

    With that R rating for specific adult themes I can see the appeal 😏.

     

    The casual crowd don't care about a films rating. Again that's something only people online or hardcore fans care about. Older people will have seen Fatman and Little boy or at least remember it. Oppenheimer will gross 450-575 most of which will be in the US. I don't see it as a threat to Mission.

     

    Missions biggest threat is in my opinion two trailers that feel kind of flat. There's no sense of danger or urgency like previous entries and the big stunt won't be a draw this time around. I'm sure the movie will do well enough but I just don't see much hype for it. Initially I thought this would do 900m+ but now I'm thinking more like 700-800m unless Domestically surprises because of the Maverick effect. Who knows maybe paramount will crank of the marketing and things will change.

    Moving the release 2 days earlier is basically a fuck you to Disney, it's Paramount saying they think Indy V will underperform and they want to take IMAX screens away from that movie. I doubt Universal will want to try competing with MI7 for IMAX screens cause it's not going to end well for Oppenheimer.

     

    I'm a pretty big Mission fan, heck I started the sub on reddit for it but I don't think paramount thinks Indy will underperform as much as they just want the extra showtimes because of the long run time and because they think the movie is great and want word of mouth to build going into the weekend. As much as I love Mission Impossible Indy is my most anticipated movie of the year and people will be surprised how well it does.

    It was reported that Cruise did have creative control over The Mummy and basically directed it himself: 'The Mummy': How Tom Cruise Took Control of Universal's Flailing Movie - Variety

     

    That narrative was only spun to keep Kurtzman's career from completely tanking. Cruise has had creative control of all his movies for the past 25 years putting out hit after hit but for some reason this time when it was a stinker he was the problem and not the rookie who had only directed one previous small budget indie.

    These movies are starting to feel like stunt reels. At least 1-4 had some decent-ish plot.

     

    1,3, 4 are the best of the franchise by far in my opinion. McQ nails the action but outside of Jack Reacher the plot and story when he's writing and directing always feels like one big exposition with stunts in between.
