Nolan being thrust into going to talk shows and variety shows because the cast can't promote the movie.

To be fair aside from RDJ, he's the biggest draw. I'd expect him to still be part of the promotion in a massive way even if the cast were there (as was the case before the strike).

If Nolan really wants to embrace Barbenheimer, there needs to be pictures of him at a cinema dressed in pink waiting to watch Barbie! Or Him and Greta sitting together at a cinema.

Barbie & Oppy alone are going to be up $10M, which brings total to $311M, and not all studios reported estimates on Sunday. It may come down to whatever Cobweb was able to bring in this weekend 

Yeah, who know Flash is doing double feature with barbie and boost the weekend overall.

Credit to him I think he's actually doing a decent job even though it's clearly outside his comfort zone.

This is an AMC IMAX with Laser showing for noon today in the Minneapolis area. This is bonkers for noon on a non-holiday Monday. I checked a similar IMAX with Laser showing in Nashville around the same time and it was maybe 60% full. However, a couple of IMAX showings in Charlotte and Phoenix for roughly noon were not nearly as packed but they were not IMAX with Laser. People are definitely seeking out high quality projection for this film.

Wouldn’t be totally surprised if WB gave all the drive-in $ to Flash, as Barbie certainly doesn’t need it. (Could be why they didn’t report an estimate on Sunday)

That is a terrible operation name from a marketing department. Why not like Pink Girl Summer?

Any OW actuals made for Barbie & Oppenheimer?

I think Meg 2's OW will be an eye opener, not so much domestic but OS.

Universal greenlights Einstein and Kennedy movies. 

 

Can't wait for the teamup movie.

It's interesting how WB has a knack for making films that look iffy on paper commercially but end up being hugely successful. Gravity comes to mind as well as American Sniper. I'm not going to include things like Joker because while it was a bit risky, it's based on a very well known character.

First weekend ever with 2 80M+ openers?

[upriser7]

jfc...little Ben is obsessed over Barbie. Wonder whether he'll report that Barbie's Monday in China is higher than it's Saturday number and how good Barbie's WOM in China is

 

 

[M37]

With these revised Sunday numbers, Barbenheimer FSS will have beaten out NHW’s FSS, ~$211M to $210.14M 

 

(and probably could have made a run at the full OW if capacity wasn’t a limiting factor)

This is incredibly funny given that there was no Barbie hype in China yet it's turning into a WOM hit, literally proving the opposite of his point

What's expected for Haunted Mansion this weekend? 30M~ OW DOM?
