Admirable if she sticks by this. But yeah, WB will definitely find a way to profit more off this movie, be it with a sequel or some sort of spinoff.

So this means it'll be 23M for Barbie and 9.5M for Oppy. Teasing a bit but I've noticed the trend of actuals being a bit lower.

Wonder Woman was still heavily promoted as a movie for women and it had romance! TLM was also heavily promoted as a movie for women, even if it is a family movie. It's a stretch to say it doesn't count. As for Captain Marvel, all of its numbers should have an asterisk because of how heavily it was promoted as a tie in to an Avengers movie.

The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread
Ororo Munroe replied to Shawn Robbins's topic in Box Office Discussion
Very curious to see if it continues to perform similarly to TDK. I do recall someone saying yesterday that there would be a sizable Tuesday drop? Interesting to see if that comes to fruition because they would have an effect on numbers through the rest of the week leading into the weekend. -
I'm sure it's been said multiple times already but still, quite ironic that Barbie will more than likely end up with a sequel, fitting right in with all the other franchises now. Not a knock against it at all. It's just been perplexing to see people claim it's the beginning of a new era when it fits comfortably in the current one.

I'll take a wait and see approach on The Marvels. I think it's more of a mystery. Good reviews, good wom could lead to it doing better than expected. Either way, I think it's unfair to compare to it the first CM, given the obvious built in advantage that had nothing to do with the movie's quality or even Captain Marvel's popularity.

For people who say this, I'm curious as to what you all expected to happen. For Disney/Marvel to take a break and reboot in a few years? The MCU reached a peak in 2018-2019 and what's happened afterwards is only natural imo. Can't stay at that insane level forever. That there has been some dips/misfires since then doesn't mean it should have ended. Lets not forget that they had misfires before that peak. Everything wasn't perfect, every movie wasn't making tons of money. I can see how the tv shows have made it seem overstuffed and like homework but they'll almost certainly be cutting back on them now. I have to say though, I'm glad to have gotten shows like TFATWS and Ms Marvel and movies like Shang-Chi and Eternals (deserved better) and Wakanda Forever (even with its flaws, its still near top of the MCU for me). I think there's still things to be excited about too, with Daredevil coming, Deadpool looking like a big hit and if they get things sorted out with Fantastic Four and Blade. Things may be messy now but I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that most people who've watched Barbie still have no idea who Greta is. The GA is not that deep into online discourse. I think it takes years and multiple hits for a director to build up enough recognition to be known to the general audience. Greta is not there, not even close imo. An argument could be made for Peele, as he at least has been able to generate hype for movies that are genunely original.

Saw a thread on Twitter asking if Gerwig and Peele are the only directors of their generation who might be considered a household name and I was just baffled, especially as it came from a critic. The idea that Greta is a household name is pure silliness. Peele is even a big reach but being one half of Key and Peele probably makes him a little more known.
