I think that is a guess on his part I don't think he was reporting anything he heard or knows. I would love for it to be close though.

Also, Barbie has not been very relevant as a product since maybeee the 00s, probably the 90s. Hence why I think so many thought the movie wouldn’t do anything. Even I would have never predicted it if I wasn’t paying such close attention to what was happening on social media from that very first promo image of Margot in the car released. 

Barbie sells $1.5B worth of dolls every year lol. I was on the same page as you until I checked it out

I'm guessing closer to 19-20m

[TheFlatLannister]

So if that $21M-$23M SAT pans out $75M-$80M 5 day right?

r/boxoffice never changes😂

If they’re going to do this, at least ask if his career is in the danger zone!

[DisposedData]

21-23.5 would be it's first objectively strong day.

the high end would be a franchise record for 5 day with some cheating , could be worse i suppose

wow, Jim Caviezel is bigger than Jesus

Barbie's making more than MI7 WW.

 

[LegionWrex]

If MI7 does hit $21M+ that would be a damn good boost up I think. Want this to at least reach $75M+ since it would be in a line with other MI films.

Yeah I was cranky yesterday about its 'underperformance'.

 

But after watching the film yesterday, this is nowhere near as action intense and great as GP, RN, Fallout or JW4. Felt like a departure from those and more like MI-1.

 

And as such for it to be doing China-adjusted Fallout numbers WW at a time when every other long running franchise is seeing massive dips from their predecessors is pretty solid

That is a very good point in the Deadline article that had it opened on a Friday it could have done the 78m 3-day OW which would have considered good. The 5-day makes it worse. The red states that usually come out for Cruise movies are watching SoF, so that's why the fall off the 90m projected opening. We'll see what shape DR really is compared to FALLOUT during the week. The extra 2-day gain will evaporate over Barbenheimer opening week (losing PLF will hurt), the second weekend drop will be much higher, the real intrigue comes from week 3 onwards. I wouldn't bury the film in US just yet. Overseas it's doing good apart from China which put Hollywood in the rearviewmirror.

I'm def not expecting that $21m+ prediction to pan out, but damn that would be a good number, arguably the first good number in its run

It would be excellent. Probably partly WOM getting around as well, considering male/female ratio became more even on Friday. Word does get around after all.

 

Still not gonna make judgments since it's too early to call but hoping for the best.

And that did not bother me at all.  I loved how much of a De Plama homage it was,. Did not need Fallout 2. That movie is in it's own world of perfection. And the previous movies and JW 4 were their own thing.

Are people seriously mad at a female centric movie finally breaking out? I don’t get it. We can’t have every blockbuster be a comic book or action movie.
