But yeah, it’s still very bare bones yet. A lot of features are still needed, but once that gets trending and real time search it’s the moment that X becomes a glorified ‘Truth’ Social. Yeah, I seem to have fixed the issues, took completely deleting the app and starting from scratch, but it’s working now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil19 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 What's crazy is Oppenheimer and Barbie being on any list of impressive runs. The outlook may be optimistic, but we can't talk about their "runs" yet, jeez. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing we know for sure is that they performed much better in the opening 4 days than anyone expected 6-12 months ago. Long way to go to determine whether the legs were very good or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbie and Oppenheimer are the two new cool kids in town. 4 years from now, they might be Number 7 and 8 on the same kind of list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Hunt Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I feel like. Top Gun Maverick is the coolest run since I've been following box office 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbie and Oppenheimer are the two new cool kids in town. 4 years from now, they might be Number 7 and 8 on the same kind of list. Sure, there's recency bias and then there's this. Say Oppie does 300+ and Barbie does 550+. Put them on the list, no problem. But after 4 days we really don't know if those numbers will actually happen. What's worse is that this sets up certain expectations that - if not met (despite insane numbers in any case) - will create an insufferable narrative. Most people on the forum obviously won't agree with it, but the fact that we're even creating the conditions for that seems silly. Just let the films play. Judge daily figures as you will, make predictions and extrapolate for finals, but judge the runs when they're over.

Jiffy Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 TGM being the first film since The Godfather to be #1 on both Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends is my fave fun fact from its run. It is a bit funny to see Tom brought back to earth though after US audiences didn't give A2 its full due. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to people feeling disappointment in Barbie's $26M Monday number because some insider tracking folks thought it might be able to reach $27M or even $30M. The $26M number is already INSANE to begin with, a super low drop from Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People getting disappointed are just not following box office long enough, or not paying attention. We all said here that it would likely get close to the initial estimates and that was already crazy on its own right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 3 hours ago, M37 said: I don’t know WW well enough to put down a number, but I think Oppy is heading for $330M+ domestic, so whatever that works out to overall This would make for a fun one: OPPIE VS JOKER. They'll obviously have completely different daily patterns because summer/non-summer, but close enough OW (Joker+14m), and a 335m finish - it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
