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. 

But the key is that it's not as infintely rewatchable as Fallout. So, this making Fallout numbers (China adjusted) on worse exchange rates globally means the audience for MI has definitely grown and if DR2 is as action intense as Mcquarrie promises, $900m-$1B is definitely on the cards

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. 

OS doing great is why the insane takes of Paramount cancelling the next Mission Impossible won't happen.

Imagine thinking Paramount has the juice to cancel a Tom Cruise project which is underway when he gave them their biggest hit of all time.

 

It's the other way around. It's Cruise who cancelled Paramount's potential Days of Thunder series and stopped them from starting an MI tv series

SoF has a $19.68M OW, so it's gonna be over 4x by the end of its 2nd weekend...how many Xs does it need...

To be fair, had a holiday-ish Monday opening and had already banked more than a full X before OW 

Opening Week (Mon-Sun) was $41M, should probably get 3x from that 

[Cooper Legion]

I expect it’ll easily clear 4x OWeek maybe 5x

Yeah, the weird release date issues is what can make some film comparisons headache inducing. Similar to how The Spidermans aren't all Friday releases and you cant truly compare OW to OW.

Thats what I appreciate about the Opening Week aspect since its still 7 days and it encompasses the whole aspect.

 

Getting 3x from full OW is really good to crazy on it's own terms though in this day and age.

Really think it has the juice to get to 200m?

 

160m+ I could see and would be on the train for, just not sure it can make it to that uber upper level (as if making it to 160m wouldn't already be a crazy total.)

People have been saying Mi7 is going to get outgrossed by a toy commercial, Gen Z doesn’t care about anything but memes etc etc etc.

I’m just gonna wait for Charlie’s SAT number before jumping to conclusions.

I hear you for the casuals just want to be enterained  crowd yes. Speaking for myself and a few others around here I could rewatch any Haley Atwell scene on a loop.

I just got out of insidious part 5 and I can see why it got a very low cinema score. I was kind of bored throughout a lot of it except for when certain characters were on screen. There's one character in the movie that completely livens up the whole thing. And whenever that character was on I really enjoyed the film . I just thought it took way too long to get to the meat and potatoes of the film. It does help the rose Byrne it's in the movie cuz I just like anything that she does. I didn't hate it, but it could have been much better. I will tell you that my brother and my niece both loved it.

Airport scene and Rome chase were bangers...the chemistry between Atwell and Cruise was off the charts. Legit thought they'd drop the whole mission and get down to business

It's pretty clear action thrillers and Mission Impossible has a ceiling. Feel like people are going to fall into the same trap for DR2 that they did for DR1. Unless China makes a major comeback in 2025, I don't see DR2 getting anywhere close to $900M+
