While it has its problems, having lived there, India is nowhere near as bad as the others mentioned for women, atleast in places with larger population. -

The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread
Bobzaruni replied to Shawn Robbins's topic in Box Office Discussion
I don't think it'll blow up the box office, but horror is proving to be a stable reliable genre as-of-late and this is a unique approach, so i think it'll do really well for its budget. -

$8M+ i think -
My audience fucking loved it so much. Half the theatre (including me lol) wore pink. Most people were under 21 and a lot under 18 too. Cheers at literally every line. felt like I was in the No Way Home movie theatre lol. One of the most fun theatre experiences I've ever had since it felt so collective and that was so great for me. I liked the movie a lot, the comedy is fucking great, everyone was laughing really hard, and while I think some narrative stuff in the second half doesn't work, it was so so fun!!

Oppenheimer DOLBY -> 100% sold out; 60/40 Male/Female. about 50%~ of the audience was under 21 here too (it's not R rated in my country). Huge groups, but less so than barbie. Trailers: Dune 2 Napoleon (I couldn't recognize one and missed the title) Some cheers at some of the really cool moments — 'i am become' line, RDJ and Cilian intros, Einstein lol, the trinity test after the sound came in (a collective holy fucking shit moment from the audience, felt like we were on an amusement park ride), Emily blunt's speech, the last line of the movie. As mentioned for Barbie, about a fifth of the audience was the same (Barbie was at 4:10 and Opp at 6:50 on the same screen).

Barbie DOLBY -> 100% sold out; 66/33 female/male split. 2/3rd of the people, including our group, were 13-22~. Lots of HUGE groups, like 7+. Trailers: Wonka (huge reaction) Dune 2 (huge reaction) Meg 2 Audience was really really really into it, cheers for almost every line, legit applause after America Ferrerra's speech at the end. Some guys were pissed and loudly voiced how they hate the 'SJW speeches' and were met by boos from the whole theatre lol. legit 50%~ of the theatre was wearing pink or barbie themed clothing. saw a lot of 'Barbenheimer' shirts too, about 20% of the same audience stayed for Oppenheimer (same screen). Very very fun as a crowd experience!

Watched it for the second time and gather my final thoughts: My only complaints are in the scenes from after the starting sequence till Los Alamos (40 mins~), and how it feels like an acted montage of Oppenheimer's life prior. Not a deal breaker however at all given how good the rest is. Other than that I loved every bit of the movie. Florence Pugh's character is a bit underdeveloped despite being very well acted but every other character, across the board, was very good and acted excellently — Damon, Blunt, Cilian and RDJ. Blunt particularly stole the scene entirely in a particular sequence. One of the best sound designs I've ever witnessed in a theatre. it literally felt like I was there (also, no issues with mixing here). The visualizations of the scientific concepts were brilliant too. It also depicted American governmental sentiment at the time with the Red Scare stuff and the political landscape it painted. I also loved how it ended. A middling first act followed by 2 absolutely sublime acts and multiple excellent sequences. A- (4/5)
