Just wanna say imdb has gone downhill. i just skimmed through some reviews and it's nothing but trolls.  letterboxd is much better these days

Shhh incase they come over to Letterboxd! 

[wildphantom]

It absolutely rocked. 

As good as the last two, but doubled down as a proper intense actioner.

The action is insane. 

 

Has to do $200 million domestic, or there is no justice in the world.

The staggered release of MI:F is actually going to kill me.

[a2k]

MI6 and Solo had comparable trailer views during Superbowl and that was surprising. MI6's promo was much loved. With 65-70 ow MI6 would need 3.0-3.3x multi to beat Solo 212.5+ dom.

Cruise running to the top of the box office.

[filmlover]

Regardless of where it opens, Mission: Impossible should have fantastic legs, especially when there isn't a major action film opening until Venom in early October.

The Spy genre itself has a boxoffice ceiling, typically around $200m DOM total.
Superheroes movies can be much much bigger right now.

The franchise just needs a random explosion like Skyfall or F&F7 (both of those films basically doubled the previous entries WW intake).

No way

just 50k to reach it. I guess they're waiting for Christopher Robin to open for the final "push"

Not interested in comparing this to Solo.

 

The real goal here: MI2 215M DOM for highest grossing movie of the saga.

That’ll be a fudge, not a push.

Yeah, was going to say, imdb has been a joke for years when it comes to user reviews.  Sadly rotten tomatoes has followed suit. 

[Krissykins]

The U.K. critics are in a conversation on twitter saying if Mission Impossible doesn’t massively overpeform this weekend then they’re living a bubble.

Unless their collective reviews are also supposed to be an indicator of a film's financial success, I don't see why

 

A movie can be really good and simultaneously have less appeal than say a superhero film. And if it has really strong legs, then it's sort of validation for what they indicated in their reviews. Regardless, it looks like WOM and reviews are gonna align pretty closely on this one. If it doesn't massively overperform this weekend, the problem is probably something else.
