I'd say that IO2 has an 80-90% chance of beating Barbie domestically. Next up is Jurassic World. Thoughts?

Wow so $600 million domestic a real possibility?

Weelllll......apparently they aren't going with an origin story or a young FF group. Why not just cast Krisinski? This seems.....odd and, as other said, desperate. They should cast Uma Thurman, J-Lo or Jennifer Aniston as Sue Storm.

Haven't been here for a while, but this says it all perfectly 100%.

This. There's no real "ooh I can't wait to see what happens next" unless they had teased the OT3 coming back. Now, it's just "okay, I hope I remember this by the time they return to this story".

My biggest issue is not knowing what project will be the continuation and when it will happen. Is Mando S4 the continuation? Ahsoka S2? The Mandoverse movie? And when any of them will happen is beyond us. That is frustrating. It could be next year or it could be 5 years from now when everyone has forgotten this and less care at that point.

I would say that the way things have been set up, the Witches of Dathomir could/should be a contender for villains that tie together all 3 projected movies projects (Dawn of the Jedi, Filoni, and Rey). However, with the viewership of Ahsoka being as weak as it is, I am not so sure many would know what was going on. The story has been decent as a set up. The visuals are stunning and the lightsaber duels have been mesmerizing. The dialogue and scripting, on the other hand, are absolutely PAINFULLY DREADFUL and exhibit why AI should never be used for scripting.

Isn't it a bit late for them not having at least a teaser? This reminds me a lot of the marketing for Thor L&T.

So $300 m domestic is a lock. Is $350 m domestic possible?

No, it's just baffling to hear someone complain about 65 degrees. And 85% humidity in 65 degree air does not make it feel like 95%. As a matter of fact, 85% humidity in 65 degree air doesn't actually make it feel much different than 65 degrees at all.

Wow you guys are crybabies about the heat! 65 degrees and humid! Oh no! The travesty. Try 105 degrees F and 118 heat index. Btw, the mere concept of Barbie surpassing Avengers (quite possible) domestically is genuinely frightning!

Looks like Barbenheimer will officially prevent TLM from reaching $300 million domestic after all. Not sure how they will muster up $4 million more with dailies less than $100K.

Interesting that the #1 film of 2022 and the possible #1 film of 2023 are both nostalgic movies but for different reasons and completely different sides of the political/social mindsets with polar opposite audiences. (but both somehow feature fit bodies on a beach lol). Not much to say for that as a pattern except for nostalgia and that beach thing.

So this flick is not my bag and I likely won't see it except on streaming if my wife and daughter want to see it. But I am intrigued by its phenomenon status. So, what are we talking domestic? $550m? $575m? $600 m?

So how's the prospect for $300 million domestic looking for this?
