My contribution to help us get to page 200: one of my best friends, who typically sees two to three movies a week in theatres, usually different ones, said Oppenheimer may be the very best movie he’s ever seen. Is it really that good? It can’t possibly be better than older classics, can it? 

[Warmaster506]

Hopefully Dune 2 comes put this year

[Dragoncaine]

I can't WAIT for the first Mon updates tonight omg

The best film of the decade is easily West Side Story

From a filmmaking perspective, it's way up there. DeBose, Moreno, and Faist are terrific. Zegler is really good. I gave it a 9/10 but Elgort really bungled the big moment imo, singlehandedly lost a point for me there and removed it from my "decade" consideration

Wont happen. TFA was a movie seen by

 

 

It was the definition of 4-quadrant, generation-crossing appeal. Everyone wanted to see the sequel to Return of the Jedi. 4 year olds and 100 year olds. Everyone.

 

Barbie cant compete against that, nor can any movie, honestly.

When Barbie crosses TFA sometime in November because everything was delayed cause of the strike and Barbenheimer played through the rest of the year, ill gladly eat my food truck of crow.

 

 

Best spoiler ever!

Ngl...with all scandal maybe true,but other date will ruin aquabro even more.

[JustLurking]

West Wide story is a good directorial showing from spielberg but the story is just really dumb as a whole, it's really hard to take it seriously when some scenes pop on the screen

Its funny isnt it? Back in school, i hated math, but since getting into box office, just simply looking at big numbers is so much joy.

In my opinion, Oppenheimer has all the attributes of an instant classic and is up there as one of the best films of the 21st century so far.

 

But that is just my opinion and yours could be completely different. Best way to answer that question is to watch the movie and judge by yourself 🙂

Okay let's try another angle

 

Jurassic World Dominion deserved to make $1B

That movie underperformed in every territory and still made a billion. KING.

[Redolent]

It’s interesting to think there were zero cinemas in Saudi Arabia until 2018, and to see Oppenheimer now grossing $2+ mil there. A rapidly expanding market in the region for sure.

Did the boobie scenes get censored for Saudi market?

I am sure they would have added CGI clothing there or even edited it out.

I saw a screenshot of a black dress photoshopped on Pugh, not sure if it was Saudi.

This lady is getting dragged on Twitter and not gonna lie at first I thought her point made sense but upon seeing the counter-arguments... yeah. The problem is not that Hollywood doesn't go after the female audience, the problem more often than not tends to be that the films that appeal to the female-audience tend to perform better on streaming or simply do not need blockbuster budgets or treatment; and  you can probably count with your fingers the amount of female-driven IPs that'd perform even a third as well as Barbie did (most of which are already being adapted or already have been adapted)

The exception was the YA craze of the early 2010s which stopped because aside from Twilight and The Hunger Games most of those films ended up flopping.
