I think if people are familiar with Nolan's work and its structure, they'll really like it. But if they're expecting a lot of action and things of that sort, they might be taken out a bit. People are dumb if they're expecting that kind of movie though (like Fast X, Mission Impossible etc.)

I've officially seen Oppenheimer! Fantastic film. +s: Score, Visuals, Acting (RDJ gives an Oscar-worthy performance alongside Cillian). -s: can feel its length at moments, might want more from some characters (but neither is that big of an issue at all in the grander scope of the movie) It's a dense movie that will absorb you entirely. I cannot praise the Score enough, it's unreal. Every single actor in this movie delivers to an unbelievable extent. Some parts of the movie have some very interesting use of editing specifically, can't say if I like it or not but I think it works well for the movie. The visualization of some stuff, and the visuals in general, are so incredibly done. My 3rd favorite Nolan film after Memento and Interstellar

there's like a small few but that's about it

The trendline for Barbie search volume is doubling Mario's peak for the week before release in Brazil😲😲😲😲😲😲

(what is the limit for this, Avengers record in threat? Does it have the showings for that?)

Brazil numbers might actually be too low if the PS are what they're suggesting; insanity, madness

I don't think there's any path for Dune 2, especially with no promotion due to the strike to build hype. Barbie's buzz materialized because it had already been building.

He loves hideo kojima from the look of his previous tweets about him btw, so this is probably a good thing https://twitter.com/brunofreex/status/797731493208608768

Just running some numbers for overseas and despite a weaker Asia, it's going to BLOW everything out of the water 15M+ Aus 17M~ Mexico 15M+ (at minimum) Brazil 10M+ (at minimum) UK Using Mario's concentration in its top 4 markets on release here assuming a similar distribution, $135M-$140M INT OW minimum; probably will go even higher though if things play out right (which they probably will). 300M global opening in the cards. With good holds and a good China/Japan/SK, Barbilllion to the moon.

I'm trying to do some analysis around Barbie's INT opening, idk what to even put for what I project here. Is 17M~ USD (80M lc) a decent number for OW or double? just roughly

It could open close (if not more) than No Way Home if it keeps pace and the numbers aren't skewed. Just wow.

Any numbers for full OW?

@Inceptionzqany comps?

Oppenheimer might have a pretty good IM, OW as a whole is looking strong

I'd be pleasantly surprised if this is in the A-range for CinemaScore, but it's far too long for that. I'm luckily seeing it today so I'll have a clearer picture soon.

Haunted Mansion being that high is very confusing and, in my opinion, shows the inability to capture a clear picture here A movie that is (potentially) years away from release is just 10% under Barbie too Also, Barbie and Oppenheimer are both not even top 10 in Interest here

The Joker 2.0

Cameron is technically more popular but it's less because of him and more because of his movies, whereas there are people who are 'Nolan' fans rather than 'Avatar' fans in Cameron's case

Middle-Eastern countries banned Spider-Verse for having a trans flag for 1.2 seconds, I wouldn't be surprised

225M DOM 275M INT

One thing they can do if they really want to squeeze every last bit of it is a Middle-East release alongside the Labor Day expansion stateside but I highly doubt that it's even in the realm of possibilities given the circumstances.

Worst drop in a while. -41%. Usually the Weekends aren't insanely great and similar-ish but Weekdays are crazy strong. Last 3 weekdays were sub-30, sub-25 and even 1 week at sub-20. The weekday drop was pretty harsh. MI7 opening early definitely nuked screens for weekdays. next weekdays should have a decent hold but next weekend will be just as, if not more, brutal. Looking like 305-310M OS finish compared to 310M+ based on previous drops. Dom hold was strong and might have it at 385-390M. final will be 690M~ and if it can somehow hold somewhat okay next week, 700M might be possible. Otherwise, they can try labor day expansion domestically and maybe squeeze that last bit.

If Spider-Verse makes it in there too, it makes it that much more appealing.
