RWRB > BROS 

 

The former is a simple love story (with a good premise) while the latter is, well I don’t know what they were going for there but it sure wasn’t positive representation. 
 

Anyways! Hoping Blue Beetle pulls through and avoids the title of lowest grossing DCEU film! Domestically at least, Shazam 2, TSS and WW84 are within sight. Worldwide will depend on China/Japan/Korea/Australia and holds in Mexico/Brazil. Fingers crossed! 

 

There's a total lack of fun gay love story films out there. Most of them are sad love stories, like Brokeback Mountain. RWRB is a breath of fresh air.

I think they might attach the Aquaman 2 trailer to the Nun II on September 8th

 

But yeah this is getting weird, The Flash and Blue Beetle both released 4 months out

@XXR Was Right

 

Blue Beetle had a 7.6x IM so it turns out that XXR wasn't right

 

Gonna have to change that username

The two numbers I mentioned is what it ended up being. The order they come in isn’t relevant.

Would be a nice drop for Blue Beetle. Could reach 70m+ domestic, if it happens.

Maybe even $150 mil domestic

Did Excel hack into Chip's account. Otherwise I am not sure about what he is talking about. Its one thing about being hopeful but this is nuts. Its OW trend confirmed this is not going to be a WOM monster.

Everyone is projecting different numbers. Variety is more pessimistic and has GT at 2 or 3, tied with Blue Beetle 2nd weekend. I’m thinking NCD is throwing everyone off? 

Anyway, let’s go Blue Beetle!! Surpass WW84, Shazam 2, TSS and BOP then we’re good! Lol  Give us a solid hold!

Barbie should be at about 593m by Sunday. Possible it hits 600m next thurs, it’s 42nd day of release.

Oppenheimer is going to pass Inception sometime this weekend, likely Friday.

[Krissykins]

Barbie is finally getting a week in IMAX from September 22nd.

 

Crazy that the biggest film of the year hasn’t had any IMAX (and did it without it).

Not that crazy considering the movie that had imax during its release was breaking Imax records and Imax/Nolan have a strong hook. Barbie handled loss of other PLF very well as well. After all it does not have the hook of must watch on Imax. 

[HummingLemon]

The increase for Blue Beetle was actually pretty good. I could see a $70-75M domestic total. Maybe $135-145M worldwide

[vale9001]

If a success probably IMAX can get a week more. 650M+ it's becoming easier now.

 

I don't know how long Warner want to push It now but since seems clear Barbie + Ken and the looks of this movie will be the "biggest thing" this halloween they could also make something halloween related, like "Watch parties" where the couples wear like the characters, in october.

It’s going to be close to 600 million this Sunday after around a 15 million weekend. 
 

Next weekend is the 4 day labour day long weekend. They are obviously going to keep it in theatres for the month of September if they are giving a Sept 22nd IMAX push. I don’t see how it could possibly miss 650 million at this point.

Kind of expensive to see Barbie in IMAX when there's really no need, but dedicated fans would probably still go.

How there is no need to see on IMAX an immersive visual world It's probably  gonna win Oscars in some of these categories (production design, costumes etc .)

 

 

How there is no need to see music numbers like i'm Just Ken in IMAX.

 

IMAX Is not worthy only for the action 

🤣

There's no need to get defensive. That's just my opinion. Because it wasn't filmed in IMAX so the experience wouldn't really be enhanced that much. But if you think it's worth the hike in price then go ahead. Also whether a movie wins the Oscars or not doesn't make me want or not want to see a movie.
