Not sure about that but he is a fine actor and a welcome addition to any movie also refreshing to not see him as forgettable as he was in Interstellar.

 

The subtlety of his physicality as he grabs the gun is incredible. It's the most memorable performance of the 2010s at the very least and it should have catapulted him to doing more and more prestigious work if it wasn't for unfortunate timing of things.

I'll give Oppenheimer this... Made me appreciate Tar and Amadeus more than I already did. Reminded me of those more than anything. More than JFK even.

Casey mumble Aflleck is the best actor? He was the worst part of Oppenheimer. You really can't understand what he says. His diction is so bad

Do we have an actually reliable or likely current average ticket price estimation? 

[CoolioD1]

if we're talking LVP of Oppenheimer  is like a 40 year old man at this point but still somehow feels like a high school drama student playing a general.

It was an apology for destroying Valerian back in 2017 (another time that people argued a Nolan movie should have opened in the fall instead of the summer lol)

oh and Manchester by the Sea was a Hallmark movie disguised by better direction for the cinema screen

Main thing I can't forget from Oppenheimer is that score blaring off the walls even when they're sipping wine. I don't even remember what the second to last shot was... I remember Downey and Affleck being great in it. I remember being happy to see Casey Affleck in something as I hadn't seen him anything in a minute.

People complaining about the score being loud make me wanna see the movie. I loved Ludwig Göransson's music for Turning Red so of course I'd like more of his stuff.

That cut when he grabs the gun hahaha. Jennifer Lame (who also edited Oppenheimer) always had the juice

It's a shame Casey Affleck is such a fucking awful person irl

Is he though? As far as I remember he didn't have a swarm of accusations and the accusation he had looked quite suspicious. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.

ASTV 400 has been RIP for a while now. MI 200 since it's OW DOM. TLM Disney can/will still push to 300M if they really wanna. It's at 296M+ right now. Labor Day expansion or whatever and they'll get it there.

Haunted Mansion double feature fudge

I'm not convinced you've ever seen Hallmark movies or Manchester by the Sea tbh

I feel like comparisons to 2014 are unfair, July will surpass 2014s July by Tuesday and will probably end up just under 1.3 billion for the month which is basically on par with 2019

The worst part of Oppenheimer was that weird Nickelodeon child star - forgot his name. Utterly forgettable.

I can suffer through any bad movie pretty easily because usually I'm like "OK this stinks but maybe it'll do something cool later on" but Valerian is pretty much the only movie I've watched in the last five years I couldn't finish. intolerable film. I didn't even get to the bit with Ethan Hawke, who I love.

I think AMC is upgrading all their screens to "Laser Cinema" by 2026. I hope others follow as well. 

Cinépolis' footprint in the US is quite limited but they're changing all their projectors in the world to 4K by 2024.

 

Transition has been made for close to a year by now in Mexico and one of the theatres near me was one of the first ones to get it and is so damn pleasant to not a have a screen cropped and a shitty darker image.

That was Jupiter Ascending for me, I think there was enough weird lizard brain shit in it for me to stomach a whole movie where Dane Dehaan is supposed to be a believable bad-ass

GotG1 and MI2 are prob around 40m admissions, though Roger Rabbit and Superman 2 might both be a little lower in the 38-39m range for worst summer champ. Can Barbie top those?
