Wonder how many PLFs will stick with Barbie and/or MI over Haunted Mansion.

Oppy has IMAX on lock, Disney has already secured Dolbys (through 7pm) for Mansion (so late show available), and some XD & 4DX as well. There’s no 3D, so Disney wants all the PLFs it can, market be damned

Yes, but might be too low. Preview tracking is suggesting a ~$4M Thursday, and if it IMs like a family movie, could hit $40M

Reactions were very positive too. Don’t know why Disney hasn’t dropped embargo yet 

[reddevil19]

It's strange they didn't go for 3D with HM. Sorta seemed like this would be one of those that can make some money in the format.

If Barbie comes close to 30M on a freaking Monday, July summer days or not ... oh boy girl

 

Seems Barbenheimer wont be just a phenomenon on OW!

That'd be around TDKs drop for Barbie and like... Less then a 40% drop for Oppenheimer O_o

First Monday is what I have dubbed “weekend leftovers”, and with this many sell-outs over the OW, a lot of unmet demand is going to roll over into weekdays 

 

SOF has the best non-holiday opening Monday hold this summer at -45% ; for reference, Dark Knight was -43.8%.  Oppy I expected to be in that range, but going to wait and see on Barbie; going sub-50% Mon even is summer is really difficult

Being so IMAX heavy means that Oppenheimer will see lower drops and lower increases since IMAX capacity is being utilised to the max already.

I have read barbie soundtrack has already 3 songs in the Global top 10 of Spotify, with Nicki Minaj song coming for the 1 spot tomorrow in the Us. Seems like a 360 degrees pop phenomenon is grewing up.

Going 3D would require actually planning things out and giving the director enough time to set up the shots they need and the post production the time they need instead of putting up a release slate and asking the makers to hit it.

 I first read this: "Both can pull $40M day," as they could each make $40M today and my heart stopped. 😅

[BoxOfficeZ]

So it means Barbie beat TDKR's OW and Oppenheimer beat Inception's OW adjusted (around it anyways).

[Scubasteve716]

Can Barbie hit $100 mil next weekend? If Monday gets close to $30 mil… I get there will be spillover today but there should also be weekend spillover since people tend to do more on the weekend

That'd be pretty surprising to me. Whenever an Endgame-level event comes along it ends up sucking the air out of everything else, hence all the early summer 2019 flops, and both Matrix 4 and The King's Man being crushed under the weight of No Way Home.

Ya, but...it's Disney. Giving the filmmakers and VFX houses time is, like, the antithesis of what they do now.

Matrix 4 was day-and-date (and no one wanted it in the first place) and TKM had gone through what feels like a dozen delays and just sorta ended up dumped, with it soon on streaming. I don't think they're the best examples.

$40M OW would be decent for Haunted Mansion though its budget is $157M which I shouldn't be surprised about but I am. 

[WorkingonaName]

As someone whose grown to enjoy the Matrix sequels, 4 was unwatchable. 

[Valonqar]

Can't wait for the official revised Barbie number so that I can report it in Yes We KEN Club. I knew that 155M was BS and that it had to go over 160M cause of the ratio between its admissions vs Oppie's.
