7 PM EST for barbie. Oppenheimer tomorrow in the morning if I didn't get it wrong.

Slate: Barbenheimer … or Oppenbarbie? The debate rages on over which film you should see first.

Thank you! I knew it, it's always evening but at least it isn't overnight in my timezone.

He actually raved about The Little Mermaid. That’s how I first got to know his page. 

 

 

Really? You found about Kristian Harloff from a TLM review of all things? Not Schmoes, Collider or Schmoedown? 😄😀

yeah but no one cared about who was making an HP movies and it was already the  third chapter of the saga, an easy success.

I think Parasite already made Bong a bigger name than Cuaron after HP.

 

I agree with you  asians directors making american movies usually it's not that good of a thing...but imo Parasite was already a really really hollywoodian movie after all.

All of his movies lean into Western style or Hollywood stye. It's part of why he's so popular in the states and other Korean directors aren't as popular in the states... Only one that maybe isn't is Barking Dogs Never Bite. Maybe. Kinda is too though. He's been a name stateside since The Host in got a decent release stateside in 2007.

I don’t know if I’m looking forward to people inevitably wanting Gerwig to direct the Supergirl movie. I’m pretty sure people on Reddit are already expecting that.

Does feel weird that WB just let the director of their biggest OW of 2023 just walk off to Netflix lol

This is like the biggest event in over a decade

If Barbie's gonna get the Barbillion it's gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way without China.

[vale9001]

seems a no factor in all Asia.  South karea sales are low too and the cast even went there for a promo event. 

 

Let's see what happens in Japan. Sometimes things play different there. Also in the Philippines could make decent.

Yeah Japan is an old market so some things that are non factor elsehwhere in Asia aka new markets do well there (Star Wars for example) .

I’m shocked it’s not doing well in Asia, I thought it would do huge numbers in at least China, but China seems to

prefer action films from the USA although Aladdin did huge numbers there.

Are the memes of Barbie started when The Boys Twitter account posted "One ticket for the Barbie movie" tweet?

Seems like TLM all over again in Asia.

Comedy is one of those genres that doesn't translate in certain markets

This movie is beyond comedy. This movie is a perfect example of how memes can make people watch a movie of a genre in which they aren't interested.
