I think the only films to open over 160m and miss a billion are Batman v Superman, Wakanda Forever and Multiverse of Madness...

Updated figures show Warner Bros.’ new franchise based on the Mattel doll at $45M tonight (-36% from Friday/previews), for what is shaping up to still be a $150M start; the biggest opening of 2023. Others believe in their bones this Greta Gerwing directed, Margot Robbie-Ryan Gosling combo is destined for $155M-$160M. Warners isn’t a studio to get over their skis in estimates. Meanwhile, Oppenheimer might be about a bomb, but it’s certainly not a bomb in the box office sense of the word with the Universal Christopher Nolan directed movie eyeing $25.8M today, -22% from Friday night/previews of $33M for what’s shaping up to be an awesome $80M opening. As we spotted on Thursday night, Oppenheimer looked like it was going to emulate the box office trajectory of the R-rated X-Men title, Logan. That pic’s first day/previews was also $33M, however had a $31.3M Saturday for what turned out to be an $88.4M opening. Point is, audiences are approaching this Nolan movie like a comic-book movie, not the adult drama that it is. In fact both movies’ fervent fans are owning it in their cinema attire, dressing up like the characters in Barbie and Oppenheimer. Deadline

That's what I mean. I wouldn't want her spending her prime on Narnia movies. Post Barbie, the issue shouldn't be financial... but who knows! Maybe she does want to make Narnia. But after making an indie distributor money and awards acclaim and then subsequently making money and awards acclaim for two major studios, she should be allowed to have top priority to do anything.

I wonder if this can do for Greta Gerwig what Dark Knight did for Nolan. Greta already leveled up with Little Women but this success is astronomical. I'm really not sure Narnia happens next for her

the guy taking a shit in the opening

Thank god you weren't alive back in 1974 when a movie like Chinatown would make money. You'd be defending like a Herbie car sequel over it

Every Nolan movie has silly elements...

I'm sure you were fine with the "snobby" critics who thought Logan was a masterpiece because it was dark and heavy. But strange when other films and genres are pointed out for their artistry, it suddenly becomes snobbish hmm

Film is an art form where hundreds of thousands of creators collectively join together and offer their personality, perspectives, politics and intelligence. Every single film requires this. If noticing this makes anyone a "snob" or "pretentious" or whatever buzzword is thrown around, that's a sad and undermining view to have

No because it would require a discussion in the spoilers chat and one I doubt you'd even properly engage with in good fun. All I'll say is that the movie clearly (and not in a subtle way) for the joke plays up the absurdity of every character (female or male) to showcase how we as humans regardless of gender can be defined by a single trait (literally the entire point of Ken)

yes they are lol There's nothing snobby about treating movies as art and trying to learn/educate yourself lol

wow media literacy truly is dead

the anti-intellectualism jumped out

Would love to see Barbie go over 170 but could be tough with burned demand, capacity space and lower ticket prices, etc. Happy for 160s. Would be a top WB opener and highest opener for a female director. And if it finishes over 477m, it'll be the highest domestic film directed by a woman. And if it somehow goes over 534m, it'll be WB's highest domestic grosser Still, what a massive achievement regardless

any Barbie update

put it out of its misery

I doubt it's a bluff reading the article But also, a push seems less than ideal since it's not a film that really needs the actor campaign
