The reworking the show into the movie makes me think this isn't gonna be great... sounds like a move of desperation unless this pivot was done early in production.
TMNT will hopefully play well for the next couple of months. Market will be pretty empty of choices for families, again. Too bad Elemental will probably not be in enough theaters to continue its run.
Deadline also reporting 34m Barbie and 18.1 Oppenheimer Saturdays. Fantastic.
Talk To Me hitting $10m is pretty impressive. Go A24. I could see the movie holding well.
... maybe WB should move Blue Beatle to that October spot idk lol but I guess it won't do that well whereever
Very curious to see what happens for the rest of the year. Think Dune will move, and if that happens Marvels should just move up a week.
More Dolby screens would be very welcome, they're almost always fully booked for big movies. I have a theater less than 5 minutes away from me but they only have 1 mediocre Imax screen. Would definitely go more if they built a Dolby theater.
Barbie is definitely a game changer, especially if it hits $1 billion. The good is there probably will be more projects greenlit geared towards women. The bad is seeing the studios greenlight stuff that they think is the next 'Barbie' when I don't know if any other IP can replicate this insanity.
I saw Barbie earlier; enjoyed it but I can see some not caring for it, very curious about its legs. If I had seen this without knowing about the sheer insane hype of it I would've never guessed it would open to $150m+.
What's crazy is if WB never did the 2021 day and date... Oppenheimer probably would've been a WB release and Barbenheimer would have never happen. Ironic.
... $150m+ is jaw dropping for a movie like this... but $200m+ may be the most impressive opening ever.
I am so stoked for this film. If its anything like some of these reactions are saying I think this is gonna be something really special. Such a shame its coming out during the beginning of this strike.
