with 15 days before the digital version is released, NWH has a tough task to get next 14 million. 

 

If they keep it in theaters it might get there (fingers crossed). Encanto added several millions despite D+. It won't hit 100M unless it gets a re-release but it shows that movies that go digital can still chug along in theaters. IMO, it would be stupid not to push NWH to 800M since it's really that close. It will be a little over 790M by the end of this week. C'mon, Disney!

If NWH didn't collapse this past weekend then I don't see why it would these next 2 weekends. 800m should happen easily.

Disney waited with Shang Chi and Eternals 

Disney did not confirm like 10 times that they were going to put the movies on 45 days tho, instead they talked how they will keep it flexible.

Not a good look for Nolan. Brilliance as a director? The joyless drivel he makes is brilliant? LOL!

“I don’t know if it came directly from Chris Nolan,” Kravitz said. “I think it was probably a casting director of some kind, or a casting director’s assistant…Being a woman of color and being an actor and being told at that time that I wasn’t able to read because of the color of my skin, and the word urban being thrown around like that, that was what was really hard about that moment.”

But she said it was probably someone from casting, not Nolan 

 

But obviously twitter doesn't know to read articles before "cancel" somebody

[Krissykins]

International opening was underestimated by $4m+ too. 
 

Worldwide opening $258.2m

[AdrianL]

Deadline projecting a 50% drop... lol

 

Idk, that would be amazing but I highly doubt it, especially with how spread out previews were. Below 60% by itself would be great. 

[BruiseCruise]

Uncharted dropped less than 50% on its second weekend and Dog was only like like 34%,  Sat and Sun numbers bode well for legs and theres nothing taking away screens or audience for another 2 whole weeks and really 3 since Lost City is more geared towards adult women

She clearly stated she thinks it wasn't Nolan's fault.

The Batman is the biggest opening 3 day weekend ever for a film rated a 15 here in the UK.

She said she doesn't know if it came directly from him. Isn't he a control freak who overseas every facet of development and production? You would think studios who shit out the same superhero rebooted every 2 years would be open to diversifying them a bit at least. 

[ThomasNicole]

Given the non-existent competition and how the movie played on OW i wouldn´t be surprised with a 50% drop at all.

If I had to guess, I'd be pretty skeptical he went through every headshot and audition tape for likely the dozens if not hundreds who applied for this bit role. He has casting directors/assistants  for that and they probably filter out a number of candidates, narrow it down, and then present to Nolan for auditions.

 

Now, it's totally possible Nolan specified the role to be white, and he's obviously continued to use John Papsidera on all his films who probably does have a more direct hand in these things, but no, it's probably not likely he actually saw Zoe and said that.

Let me guess. Bane was too urban too so you whitewashed him

Hoping for a sub 65% drop today
