47 & 26

Difficult to see Barbie hitting 160 with that drop. Oppenheimer should clear 80m though. Now if they could sum up to 236.7m that will be splendid

Listen, none of us are perfect at this …

I embrace my awfulness at predictions. I've made some stinkers. 

 

I do have one golden club moment, I made a club saying Ep8 would be closer to rogue 1 than TFA, and then in there I said something about solo essentially bombing and it ended up being right on the mark. 

[Ororo Munroe]

Well Deadline wasn't too far off with its Barbie numbers. Even with a good Sunday hold, 160M seems a bit out of reach. 

[Jiffy]

I guess it's not so unexpected for female-driven movie in summer to see slight Saturday decrease from true Friday. Will be interested to see spillover effect on Sunday / weekdays and how things pan out next weekend.

 

With Oppenheimer having IMAX sellouts through the next few weeks that could afford it more of a cushion, although with the length and subject matter I'd imagine less repeat business there.

Expecting something like 15% or lower SUN drop for Oppy

Are really women so ignored by movie studios? I thought there are many movies directed towards women.

 

I know there are genres (like superheroes) where studios weren't expecting a lot of women to be interested. However, Barbie movie popularity wouldn't going against this argument, since Barbie was clearly made for women.

Dunkirk dropped 25% on Sunday, but Nolan’s other 3 movies in July had really good Sunday numbers. Hoping we see that again here for Oppenheimer. 
 

TDK - 8.5% 

TDKR - 10.5%
Inception - 11.8%
Dunkirk - 24.6%
 

Oppy’s Saturday increase of 15.5% is very similar to Inception’s 16% Saturday increase. Would be pretty cool if it can also do something similar to Inception on Sunday at 12% drop.

Barbie might go under 40 on Sunday. I don't think Saturday being essentially flat from Friday is from squeezed showtimes.

Definitely not squeezed when most theaters have it in 50% of their screens

Inception seems like a good comp for now. Anyone know what it’s 62.8m dom opening adjusts to in 2023? Seems like it will be pretty close to what Oppie does this weekend.

Frontloading on Friday and Saturday is natural. TDK & TDKR did something similar to this on Saturday and then had epic drops below 11% on Sunday to stay above $40M on that day. Cannot rule out something like that for Barbie.

Lost in the Barbenheimer crush is MI7 becoming Tom Cruise's 23rd $100M+ grosser in NA if you include Tropic Thunder and Goldmember. A truly remarkable accomplishment.

Indeed. I'll start.

It’s around $82M, but also need to adjust for PLF boost that did not exist in the 2010 ticket price. So maybe around $90M weekend in 2023 dollars with the full PLF boost included.

That's what Hollywood gets for making a dumb girl movie for girls that's dumb
