Gen Z starts at 1996 or 1997. There's no debate.

As someone born in 1997 I debate that it started in 1998

I thought it was on the 00s for some reason. What about Alphas then?

Maybe it's because Oppenheimer isn't skewing older

Genuinely depressing that if Oppenheimer didn't have any memes attached to it, Gen Z wouldn't care and this would have been lucky to match Dunkirk's opening. It's not like these kinds of movies can rely on release date memes all the time.

I don't have an answer for this that's why I asked you guys. So there's no wrong answer of course. But keep in mind nobody had heard of sound of freedom a week before it came out maybe even 3 days. I had no marketing no budget no billboards no commercials and yet this movie is all but assured now to hit 200 million.

 

On the flip side I was one of those guys last year that said making a Barbie movie was one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. I don't know if I ever went public with it but I know I thought to myself that it was going to tank and tank horribly. These numbers for it are just mind-blowing to me. As I said earlier I can't believe 10:20 shows are selling out locally here. Other people have said that they have their 1:00 a.m. shows sold out and even a 4:00 a.m. show sold out it's just incredible what this movie is doing.

 

 

I mean Big Fat Greek Wedding came out of no where but isn't Top Gun Maverick cracking the top 5 domestic a bigger story in a world where Disney kid movies dominate the top 10.

The ads on this forum remain insufferable  My phone literally heats up like a furnace browsing this site and it kills the battery. Why do you guys do this

I use AdGuard on Safari and don’t see any ads at all, might be worth a try.

I'm a '97 baby, too. I hate to break it to you, but we're definitely Gen Z. Maybe a bubble in the middle, but we've got a lot of Gen Z in us. 

 

Related: I have so. many. damn. friends. who haven't been to a movie in YEARS who are going for Barbie (and many for Oppenheimer, too, though that might be because I live in a 70mm city).

At least people had heard of my big fat Greek wedding. It had commercials it was from a major studio it was being backed by Tom Hanks and his wife. Like I said I'm not making a case more for one movie I'm just saying you can definitely make a case for both of them.

Happiness, delight, joy…I know, I barely recognize this place either!

Gen Z is too damn broad. People born in the late 90s had a childhood with very little in common with people born in the mid 2000s.

I loved that she wrapped his dad's Christmas presents in Marvel wrapping paper a few years ago. You know this family has a good sense of humor with one another

[CoolioD1]

I think it's great that Nolan probably doesn't realize memes are the reason his movie is such a hit. probably just sitting there thinking it's nice the youth have such an interest in that period of history. good for him.

[ringedmortality]

Is there some other light comedy with social commentary that a studio can release on October 20th to get some memes going for Killers.

[Avatree]

Wow. I was NOT expecting Oppenheimer to be this moving.

 

Beautiful film.
