The last time a WB movie won the year was in 2014 with AMERICAN SNIPER. If BARBIE wins the year, that'll be a 9-year gap.

Imagine if this were Disney and they depended on one movie to save them from this kind of drought. The discourse would be very different. Lol Barbie has seemingly distracted some from WB being in a more precarious situation than perhaps any other studio, especially with the DC brand being so tainted.

Wondering if TMNT slightly hurt Barbenheimer today due to taking screens and a new film in the marketplace.

Could be, but I’d think demand just burning off has got be a factor. Both films have been doing crazy numbers for 10 days and a cooldown is inevitable. I think the numbers are still good, just coming down to Earth.

[Ororo Munroe]

I'm hoping TMNT can break out more than the numbers suggest. My nephews are pretty excited to see it this weekend. With excellent reviews and good wom, walkups should be good, maybe leading to good legs in the coming days/weeks.

Already feeling the pre-disappointment in my 30m 3rd weekend expectations 

[Blade Runner]

Talking about movies centered around the female audience and the first thing y'all say is romcoms, lol. Women want stories about womanhood that are relatable, expansive, and real. That's why Barbie is thriving like this (and to an extent the reason why Taylor Swift is the biggest artist of the century). 

 

Don't put women inside a box.

Wonder what Tuesday looks like overall or if there is just still some spillover effect for Barbie.

They didn’t have a 9 year drought just because they didn’t have the number one movie of the year. Precarious situation is basically due to back to back mergers. Something Disney hasn’t had to go through. Really yet to be determined where the new regime takes things

I admit "romance" was the easy answer, but we couldn't really deny that A LOT of women are really interested in romance stories.

 

Romance is a pretty popular genre, especially between women. It's just big budget movie don't often have a lot to offer on romance genre. TV shows or streaming could often offer something pretty similar in romance genre.

 

 

PS: "Real" stories won't necessary attract women. Barbie movie wasn't show that way in the promo.

I just assume WB are in chaos as their default so any major hits they have come as good surprise for me.

Not just mergers but their own incompetence. The demise of the DCEU (which was doomed from the start imo) is due to the latter. Give them props for Barbie but there's so much uncertainty surrounding just about everything else.

I suspect WB are a little angry with themselves for not demanding a more open ending to Barbie (at least, not leaving the relationship between Barbie and Ken so closed).

If Gunn doesn’t fuck it up with the new DC, I really do think Barbie could be a big turning point though. They have been down and out for a decade, feels like the right time for a big turnaround. Especially with Disney having lost its footing.

Nah, not every movie should be made to tease a franchise. There’s a whole Barbie World for them to explore if need be.

$15.3M for Barbie would be a 2% increase for $381.7M total. She passes AtSV to claim the summer crown and she will likely pass $400M on Thursday. She is now $193M behind TSMBM.

 

$7M for Oppenheimer would be a 2% increase for $188.4M total. He's locked in at #5 for the summer for now with $109M more to go to catch TLM. He will pass $200M on Thursday or Friday.
