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

There are a bunch of old 70mm IMAX screens that got downgraded to Xenon or Single Laser, and they are limited to 1.9:1 aspect ratio. All of them need to be upgraded to Dual Laser so they can run the full 1.43:1 IMAX footage. Regal in particular has been very guilty of downgrading these screens. They are pretty much giant LieMAX screens now, which is sad. Those screens deserve much better.

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

Maybe Emerald Fennel would if Gerwig doesn’t

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

 

That might just cover a lot of people on here.  Not me of course, but maybe a few others.  😁

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. 

anyone know what's the biggest all time weekend? 

[DAR]

Drove past the theater I frequent.  Never seen the parking lot that crowded.

Despite the fact that 6 out of the 7 movies have opened in the summer movie season and only MI 3 did not do that great until now.  This one is just a victim of a studio really underestimating it's competition. 

Is not them understimating because they are following Maverick and Tom Cruise was being suoer popular and people saying he "saved cinema" blah blah. Plus Mission Impossible 7 is Freaking Gooooooooooood, like freaking one of the best action Movie good. Like could be said MI7>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TG:Maverick.

Barbie watch: for what is worth, girls started to scream excitedly when Chalamet's face popped up in Wonka trailer. Big Xmas hit incoming?

Don't know if I can handle this opening to 100M. Might just break down crying :')

[Johnny Tran]

Local theater report:   The website has setup a waiting line for tickets.  That has NEVER happened before Lol.  

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

I’m upping my predictions to 150M for Barbie and 85M for Oppenheimer.

[Bob Train]

I've said it before, but releasing a "see it in IMAX" movie like MI7 in the crowded summer movie season, where no one except Nolan can guarantee more than one or two weeks of IMAX (if that) due to high competition is a dumb idea. There are many other dates this year where MI7 could have had more than a week of IMAX.

Probably when the last two Avengers movies opened.

Like I said in the main thread for Wonka, I sincerely think it’ll be the biggest movie of December. A musical during Christmas time is a winning combo.

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

Because theaters have to operate they will not close IMAXs to prepare for a single movie that is way lots of movies shot on IMAX 70mm like Nope, Bond 25, WW84, First Man. Had only IMAX digital release, but IMAX Dual Laser makes the same job with arguably better contrast and less problems.

[Travod]

Just got out. 
 

oppenheimer gud, but I still found it hard to hear and I had to guess at maybe 20% of the dialogue 

[abracadabra1998]

I’m sad I’m not in the US this weekend since it feels like a historic one, but I’m watching Oppenheimer in IMAX in Portugal on Monday and I seriously cannot fucking wait. Also thank god Portuguese theaters do subs and don’t dub, I’d cry if I couldn’t hear Cillian’s voice

Even Barbie should have an IMAX release, hope the Barbie Success is long so after Nolan time is up, Barbie gets one IMAX day at least.

Y'all, I don't think I can handle this on the big screen tomorrow. @MrPink you might have to hold my hand.

Probably the one where a movie did $350M all by itself
