Oppenheimer cost 180 million. 

Pretty sure we already confirmed this was a misquote. It's 100m.

Cool story, bro. Except it was 180 minutes, not million, and it was corrected.

No, it isn't. Nolan wrongly refer the 180m as budget instead of runtime. 

 

This is Avatar 2 all over again that JC casually make a wrong reference point on break even point and whole industry thought Avatar 2 would need $2bn to break even.

I hadn't seen that correction, thanks

We went through this two days ago... It was a misprint. He said 180 minutes not 180 million.

Late to the party, so some quick hot takes 🔥 

 

Off those previews, Barbenheimer FSS > NWH FSS

(and could give the full OW a run for its money) 

 

Oppenheimer - not MI7 - is the beneficiary of TGM’s success last year, particularly with the IMAX/PLF (often younger) audience

The pilot episode was leaked on Archive.org last year and it's pretty much standard sitcom pilot stuff. I had forgot that Meg Ryan was the voice of future Greta Gerwig. I'm guessing the huge negative reaction to the himym ending caused CBS to take a break from that franchise for a bit. When How I Met Your Father actually happened last year, no one cared anymore. 

Thank you all for reminding me of HIMYM's ending.

 

Great way to ruin my evening.

I would imagine Universal probably wouldn't have sort of tie-ins with Oppenheimer mostly because Nolan wouldn't approve but also it's a bit tasteless as well.

Yes, that's right. I forget how many of those movies there were. I guess there won't be a legacy sequel any time soon post-Oscars slap...

That's why Universal went apeshit with it on MSNBC.

Just think Zaslav pissing off Nolan led us to one of the best box office weekends in years.

[eeetooki]

Oppenheimer's older folks will probably go in the next few weeks instead of opening weekend, to shy away from the crazy crowd.

[Avatree]

Wow. The atmosphere here is electric. The cinema had to be evacuated just before my showing starts, must have been 2000+ people pouring out of the cinema and standing outside. Everyone is so happy and excited. Never seen so much pink!

 

Not interested in barbie but this is super cool.

Zaslav watching Barbie beat Oppenheimer at the box office probably leaves him feeling vindicated.

It was the other guy that pissed him off. The project popcorn guy.

[Noctis]

Oppenheimer, I think, will have legs not quite as great as Inception, but it'll open high enough (around $75m-$80m) where it will hit $300m.

 

And Barbie is gonna hit over $500m.

 

Fucking glorious weekend.
