Odds of Barbie winning the weekend?

I don't like that Wednesday number for Blue Beetle.

Depends a bit on your definition of promising. But remember, there are always a couple of surprises quality-wise and/or at the box office.

Deadpool, Despicable me 4, and Mufasa are guaranteed hits. Inside out 2 has major breakout written all over it. Those 4 films have very good chances of crossing $1B

It's inevitable. Between Gran Turismo being a nonstarter and Blue Beetle heading for another 70% collapse, the stage is perfectly set for Barbie to take back the top spot this weekend.

i just saw barbie has already 254K votes on imdb. That's huge and a proof the movie is a way big phenomenon than just "girls movie" lol cause that IS NOT the imdb main audience (basically more film bros kinda- english language users).

 

I mean for example a big hit like The greatest showman has 297K votes after 6 years. 

 

As i said before Barbie is the female driven movie that is impacting general pop culture more since Titanic. And its multiplier is the proof.

It's happening, I think. Zero buzz surrounding Gran Turismo.

Mufasa isn’t gonna do anything. The Disney live-action remakes ride off copying the story of the original and not changing anything. A sequel is guaranteed to drop hugely because it’s not backed by nostalgia.  Also they’ve got the writer of the last Pirates movie and Indiana Jones 4 working on it. 

 

Rn I’m predicting Alice 1 -> Alice 2 drop for it, although if it’s bad could be even worse because audiences are less willing to watch bad movies in theaters now.

Agreed. No one saw anything coming close to passing Mario WW, much less beating Mario by a margin of $150m like Barbie is doing. There will always be movies that connect with people and breakout, which is why saying their won’t be any billion grossers next year is probably gonna turn out wrong.

I’m assuming Deadpool III will get pushed out of summer. DM4 I agree on, but BOT is overestimating Mufasa. The gp is over Disney live action remakes and re-imaginings.

 upcoming weeks is too much could impact maybe a little bit the last weekdays before that...

Mufasa can make 1B if it's a good surprising story. People love these characters.

Every big movie sounds awful outside of Furiosa, gonna just be an all-time awful year for big budget movies. Twisters could maybe be good?

edit: this is assuming mission is skipping, which seems almost definite
