It was a high opening but I think it's important to note that even at the time it was seen as not great cause of sheer budget Titanic had. Titanic was the most expensive movie ever made at the time (the first movie to cost $200M) and mainly got by due to sheer WOM. Obviously the fact it had that high of an opening in December (or at least high for the time) should have clued people in but the fear of it bombing was very, very real.

 

And the exact same thing happened with Avatars opening lol

Yeah, similar sentiments were had about Avatar’s opening in 2009. I remember tons of “Avatar opened good, but was it good enough?” type stories on the internet. Basically the same as Titanic. It’s actually pretty fun going on Box Office Guru and watching his week by week journey through Titanic’s run.

It did drop harder yesterday, but still nice 

 

If it can rebound a bit during the weekend it can still drop 25% this weekend 

 

170M looking good

Can someone confirm if the nudity in Oppenheimer is "worse" than Titanic(PG-13), to warrant a R-rating?   

 

Pretty legit nudity scenes. Not sure it was needed though. I don't remember very much bad language either, definitely one F-Bomb from Matt Damon. But seems like they could have gone PG-13 on this movie.

Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie were about to start to shoot the Ocean's prequel (that Is basically a To catch a thief remake). 

If the actors strike ends and they start to shoot in the fall It could still being release next year.

 

I'm curious of the "Barbie effect" on its box office.

Assuming a 60% Friday jump > 45% Saturday bump > 25% Sunday drop would only lead to $19.5m weekend or 64% drop from OW. Considering the OW was already mostly preview-free unlike other opener, -64% drop is too brutal and cruel.

I wish I could have seen Oppenheimer on Saturday or Sunday like I once originally planned.

I'm waiting until August 2nd for reasons. I got an IMAX 70mm ticket at the Regal Mall of Georgia and I hope it all goes well! And it looks to be a sellout crowd even at that time, Wednesday afternoon.

The dream for the weekend right now is something like Barbie 209 Opp 91. Gets Barbie the all time non-Disney record, Opp the all time 2nd place record, and both 300 combined.

Why would Chris Rock be punished for that? lol

Jada Pinkett Smith is also part of the Madagascar franchise, though I guess they could record and promote separately. I doubt she'd come back if he was in it, after his post-Slap comedy special.

PG-13.

 

And the nudity was such a big deal, that a company offered to physically cut Kate's Winslets out of VHS copies ahead of its (massive) home video release.

It wasn't the same company but a similar one, VidAngel, let people skip objectionable content on streaming. After a lawsuit they ended up splitting their creative side into Angel Studios.

The Titanic nudity got considered "artistic" because it happens separately from the sex scene, so a PG-13. Oppenheimer earns the R based on MPA standards with the way it was filmed.

uhh did you forget to type your comments?

Just saw some super early estimates for Friday but I'm a little skeptical about at least one of them and don't wanna cause commotion if it ends up too high.

 

...that said, 70+ (with previews) for one of them. 👀

 

I imagine Deadline will have them up shortly.

Was Titanic a PG rated movie? I remember I watched it as a kid and knowing a lot of families watched it despite people knowing about the nudity.

PG-13

Yeah, this is going to be a rough weekend for Cruise

70+ is actually Opp, Barbie is too unfathomably high to not be skeptical
