Certainly not as significant as something like D-Day or Dunkirk. 

 

We don't learn about Dunkirk in the U.S education system.

You kinda spilled.

 

I miss his Inceptions & Interstellars.

 

Wait, I never saw Tenet. Is it good? Robert looked hot in it.

well there you go. An exclusive format at the biggest screen in the world (nearly).

I am willing to bet the next big movie on Metreon wont come anywhere near this on a Monday morning for sure. Let us see how Dune 2 does in November.

I want Nolan to do something that's out of his comfort zone like a satire, a musical or horror.

Dune 2 is exactly the type of thing that would sell out though. It has IMAX exclusive aspect ratio.

He's done one war movie, 6 years ago.

Oppenheimer isn't a war movie.

I did and liked it lol I didn't have an issue with the sound. I am not sure if it's cuz I watched it in S. Korea where there were subtitles.

Not Nolan's best movie but it was an entertaining movie. If it wasn't a Nolan movie I doubt it would get crapped on so much.

[ringedmortality]

Nolan has done three Batman movies and three high concept sci-fi movies. But did two movies set during WWII and that's enough to be sick of it?

Satire would be great. Dark comedy. Horror would be interesting too but I am not sure how I would watch it. When I am forced by my friends to watch horror movies I spend 80% of the time hidden in their arms.

Assuming that 30.5 is the correct figure for Sunday, than we should expect anywhere from a 40-47% drop for Barbie, which would result in...

 

Spoiler

$16-18m Monday!!!

 

That would imply a second weekday stretch of roughly 55-60m, which would be on par with the first weekday period of:

The Avengers

Black Panther (without President's Day bump)

Beauty and the Beast

Top Gun Maverick (without Memorial Day bump)

I want Nolan to do one more movie with a WW2 time period. It would be a sort of WW2 trilogy for him.

We haven't had a good PEARL HARBOR or (entire) D-DAY film in decades. Would fucking LOVE to see Nolan take on a project of that scope. 

 

or THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS could work too, yeah I am cool w/ that

[Michael Gary Scott]

Nolan needs to do a romantic comedy so that genre can come back

[Dominic Draper]

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but Insidious: Red Door is now at 174M and has passed The Last Key as highest grossing in the franchise.

 

Great little box office story playing out in the background of this summer.

So close to having each one gross more than the last.

 

Blumhouse would be fools not to be thinking about a 6th or reboot in the next 5 years.

Horror fans are something else.

 

I don't know how you can stan a series of movies that just get worse, and then do that for multiple franchises.
