Wow, they are still adding theater location for SoF 4th week into its run.

The overseas hold is superb! Is that help by some major new markets coming, or just pure holdovers?

People are expecting too much. Even leggy run like Elemental had 38% 2nd weekend drop and that movie started at much much lower base as compared to Barbieheimer.

What's wrong with those numbers? Both still heading to sub-50% drop after the historic OW.

The theater count in 3rd weekend is even lower than TROTB

I know some may be disappointed by come on, sub-40% Sun-Mon is simply too much to ask and believe to begin with. The capacity issue over the weekend will only make people pre-book their ticket in advance, and therefore less walk-ups throughout the day.

Not sure what you are bullshitting. Avatar basically blow up in every continent.

You mean $100m second weekend? But Barbie doesn't need that, The summer mid-week is the key why Mario failed to reach $600m after all when weekend numbers was so strong. Barbie has at least 3 weeks of summer mid-week bump until it start dying in mid-August.

Agreed, it is quite common to mega-opener to stay flat to even drop on Tuesday because they are taking less money from the same number of crowds.

Tbh, I find sub-40% drop is too good to be true.

IMAX format alone should be around $36m

Yeah, who know Flash is doing double feature with barbie and boost the weekend overall.

Most of the upward revision will be from Barbieheimer and I don't think the rest can have contribute any push. If only MI7 can have stronger sales, instead of going sub-20.

They are still a fresh brand on big screen. They may not new and original but they certainly fresh to the moviegoers.

I think people forget the way IMAX was this big today largely thanks to JC, his avatar made $250m+ in IMAX format alone back in 2009. That is when he send a shock wave to the industry to this day.

Omg, Barbie almost outgross the entire run of Flash, and Shazam 2, combined in just OW!

Is universal purposely masking the verified audience score for Oppenheimer? There still isn't any score on RT.

Probably this has something to do with the age? JC was in this 30s-40s when he made Titanic and Terminator, that is pretty much Nolan had his prime.

-44% from True Wednesday last week.

SoF pull away the audience.

James Cameron have been demanding theater to upgrade their cinema screen to 4k, whether if the hall is PLF or not but cinema is still slow to convert them.

Cruise used too much of his luck during TGM, now it seem like he is paying it for TGM overperformance.

Avatar 2 opened to $33m in IMAX back in Dec, excluding China ($16,5m in NA and another $16,5m OS-Ch), can oppenheimer match this opening record?

Can MI7 still hit 100m by Thursday? at least $7m means it is flat from last Tuesday's preview gross.
