She is being asked if she specifically wants to direct Bond/action/superhero/etc types of films and then it's fucking news when she doesn't flat out say no?? It sort of speaks to how there's a big chunk of online "film fans" who don't really want to go out of their comfort zone and watch "different" kind of films, they just want those filmmakers to come make the films they already know instead. Happens all the time with superhero fandoms whenever a new director pops off as well. Edited July 26, 2023 by JustLurking 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 6 films they’ve only had that once. It’s what people actually want to see. That’s why Jurassic World was so big. So they are gonna somehow keep it open despite all the deaths and reputation hits?

Yep, I find it hilarious when I see on Reddit that a new director just had a big hit (think EEAO and the Daniels, for example), and half of the thread comments are people hoping that they direct MCU, DCEU, or whatever the hell franchise they are fans of It’s like people nowadays are programmed into only thinking through the prism of their favorite IP.

Jonwo Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Bond is one of those franchises where an auteur like Nolan or Gerwig is not going to be selected in the first place, much like the MCU, every aspect is controlled by the producers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's about as much chance of that as a snowball surviving in a microwave Edit Sorry you're saying that it could be closer to number one then number two. I also don't think it's really fair that you keep the force awakens off of here. What's the difference between Christmas weekdays and summer weekdays? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seduh7 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Great hold on tuesday for barbie. I expect a 25% drop today to a $19 wednesday. Oppenheimer tuesday holds is also great, especially considering that a huge amount of it's money came from premium screens. These two movies are injecting a lot of money and interest in the market.

Valonqar Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 So far Barbie is doing almost 60M WW daily but to keep it on super conservative side for today (50M), it has made minmum 523M. Barbillion is beyond . It's going to pass TLM's WW lifetime tomorrow and then next stop is AtSV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonePirate Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Barbie will fly past $500M globally on Wednesday, its sixth full day of release. $700M+ by the end of Sunday seems like a certainty. Are there still any doubters about its chances of hitting $1B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
