C’MON BARBIE LET'S GO PARTY...AT LOS ALAMOS | BARBENHEIMER WEEKEND THREAD | We’re Thriving in our Plastic Fantastic Era | Mother Mothered with 162M | Daddy Exploded with 82.4M

[Derpity]

I honestly think a decent portion of the great Sunday hold from Barbie is the Ben Shapiro crap. His tweet about it has...wait for it...53 million views. That's approaching Super Bowl ad level, and for a lot of people, thta probably made the movie sound awesome and a must-see.

It's weird, I'm new to box office compared to many posters here, but it's been about 10 years for me. Signed up here and on HSX in 2013 (and a bunch of other box office games over the years). Good times.

 

 

Thanks for posting about HSX. I was trying to remember the name of that place a couple days ago, but simply couldn't remember. Getting old sucks! I know those HSX guys have had some pretty good box office tracking data through the years.

I work in the industry so I vaguely knew about box office's existence but only became fascinated with numbers when I joined the BOM forums after Dead Man's Chest broke the OW record and learned about all the BO terms (drop, internal multiplier, tuesday discount, holiday boost, etc etc). 

 

I'm happy to see this weekend explode, it def reminds me of pre-pandemic threads.

Wasn't that @Noctis

 

Did that between 2014 and 2016. I joined BOM a few months after TDK opened.

Skank.

With Solo, Blade Runner 2049 and now Dial of Destiny all bombing, I guess the takeaway is to not make movies about Harrison Ford's iconic 70s/80s characters in the 2010s and beyond.

Which movies did you do the troll jobs? I remember laughing about it, especially the first time you did it and caught people off-guard. But I can't remember the movies...getting old sucks!

Was this posted here already?

12.8m tickets for Barbie ($12.81 ATP using the $164m estimate)

5.8m for Oppenheimer ($14.14 ATP using the $82m estimate)

 

Overall ATP: $13.23

 

That seems very high and PLF-driven 😳

With the price of tickets in urban areas, I totally believe this. If anything Oppenheimer's number seems low

The source is Entelligence. Their numbers are off from actuals.

Unsurprising for Opp given the extreme IMAX share, but yeah I’m not sure that seems accurate for Barbie if it didn’t even have 3D or IMAX to really speak of…

Barbie clocked 12.8M admissions, which is the highest non-MCU/fresh IP film to open since EntTellgience began monitoring. Only Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home are ahead of it.

 

Oppenheimer had 5.8M admissions which EntTelligence says a record breaker in the firm’s post pandemic era; the most attendees for an R-rated opening surpassing John Wick: Chapter 4‘s 5.2M.

Yeah, I posted 15 hrs back 😅

[cannastop]

I wonder how many weekends Barbie will be #1.

 

It's gotta be at least 3, right? 

[James]

At this point WB needs to do that Harry Potter sequel if they want to break their OW record. Bring back the OG cast. 250m at least guaranteed. The books are still in the NYT Bestsellers Top 10 after 20+ years of continuously being there.

That would be based on the weekend estimates too, not the actual, so $12.1 ATP for Barbie.

Haven’t posted on here yet this weekend but just wanted to say I can’t believe Oppenheimer really opened to $80M+. My biggest hopes were for it to reach $70M and even then I thought I was too optimistic, I didn’t expect $80M at all. For todays modern age where adult dramas are seen as only streaming worthy, Nolan’s box office draw and filmmaking made this 3hr biopic talkie about science a must see cinematic event, it’s pretty damn remarkable.
 

I hope Hollywood takes some good lessons from this weekends and gives us some more ambitious studio dramas that are actually marketed as must see events at the theaters. Thanks to Nolan and his IMAX/ theatrical draw we might get some life back to adult dramas after this. This movie deserves it all, definitely my favorite of the year so far!

Hopefully Oppenheimer will top Interstellar by the end of its global run.

Seems likely, though I wanna see it's legs next week first before make a definite answer. Inception is the bigger hurdle imo, I think it will beat Inception domestically but fall short of it worldwide.

[Krissykins]

That’s insane that Barbie is only falling -10% on Sunday, grossing $8m more than estimates. Wow.

Well Oppy is way less OS driven compared to Interstellar so I don’t see it topping Inception. I’m talking about Interstellar original 2014 run btw I see that it made a ridiculous amount of money thanks to late re releases as well.

 

It’s gonna be interesting seeing the legs of those two once the Barbenheimer fever is over.

[vale9001]

with those sunday numbers Barbenheimer could come for a 37-38M combined monday.
