Oppenheimer is a nostalgic toy commercial imo 

I mean if you are a sick fuck who enjoys playing with nuclear weapons I guess...

I think Nolan trying to push these IMAX 70mm cameras and projectors to their limits isn't always a good thing.

 

70mm regular film I assume works fine compared to the bigger IMAX 70mm. 

 

 

 

He should embrace the 1.43 aspect ratio Dual Laser projection. Demand that IMAX upgrade all the 70mm IMAX screens to be Dual Laser capable. There are very few Dual Laser IMAX screens in the world, only like 10 of them in USA. Dual Laser IMAX provides a phenomenal experience very similar to a flawless 70mm IMAX film showing, but Dual Laser IMAX has none of the technical difficulties and problems of film projection.

I think they gave the people who had the morning show of Oppenheimer IMAX in San Antonio a refund because they didn't show the movie at all at that time.

That makes sense.

Barbie 2 will open to $250m+ if it opens before end of 2025.

 

RUSH that mf into production for Christmas 2025!

Barbie 2 is prob screwed if they can’t get all the main players back on board, and it sounds very likely they will not. Then again, $$$

I think 300M is the floor now for barbie DOM run

 

This will surpass TLM for sure

300m has been the floor. Even Flash legs get it past 300m lol.

Instead of getting rid of the 70mm ones just upgrade all the bad Xenon imax with Laser

I was just guessing on what you were saying and the message someone posted on IMAX subreddit

[XXR vs XXR]

Assuming the 47 / 23 holds, we're looking at 153-163 for Barbie and 72-81 for Oppy. Great stuff. If holdovers do well enough we're looking at a top 5 all-time total weekend.

No doubt the main 3 will be back, be serious. It will be the same "if the story is good enough", followed a few months later by "I just cant believe that we came up something even better".

TBF it's a massive film so it's not too surprising that issues have occurred. 

Seems like it's happening in a lot of different cities though, a little too much.

Just booked my ticket for Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX.  August 5th show and it's 80%+ sold.

Honestly, I don't know how they could create Barbie 2. The ending of the movie is pretty closed for Barbie.

Gerwig seems pretty anti-sequel for it, but the amount of money WB will throw at her… yeah, it prob happens.

Might as well just say $100 million is the floor.

[mikeymichael]

Seated for Barbie (Oppenheimer tomorrow). Man, this is just fun. So many people dressed in pink and even some dudes dressed like Oppenheimer. Huge buzz. Enjoying it while it lasts.

Oh WB will create one, have no fear lol. But watch it be another LEGO 2 situation (fitting perhaps since Barbie is drawing LEGO parallels).

Wonder why there wasn’t better preparation for all the 70mm IMAX screenings 

I live in Michigan and I read they flew out 2 imax experts to make sure it ran smoothly in the Grand Rapids IMAX wonder if they did that elsewhere

Don't see how Oppy goes that low, floor is 80 imo
