30/80 was pretty much what me and a former member were hypothesising a couple of months back, anything beyond that I'm happy with. Now I just need to see the damn movie myself 😅

Now $3.8M DOM behind Indy...this movie is gonna stay as long as it takes to get $1 over, I think...

I think Nolan could find a role for Denzel quite easily but more a supporting one than the lead.

Ya, 100%. I do think Denzel should definitely have had better movies in his filmography, but his career does also show a lot of versatility, which would give him the opportunity to slot into a lot of potential ensembles that Nolan likes. The question is if he'd want a lead role, though...

Don't want to be the first person to suggest MCU but the potential of Denzel as Magneto to Giancarlo's Professor X is infinite. Especially in a Coogler or Peele directed X-Men.

Very good. I'm not too happy with the domestic weekend. It was running well ahead of TDKR in dailies and then dropped well below TDKR this weekend. That's a bummer, but at least it already cruised beyond $300M. It has also gone past Dunkirk's 3.72 multiplier (a nice milestone), but I don't think Oppy will make it to a 4.00 multi ($330M). 

Threequelizer was always going to be a bigger hit to it than any of the previous openers. Not only is it playing in premium formats like IMAX, but its demo will have been far likelier to watch Oppenheimer deep in its run. Only Barbie and Talk to Me in the top 10 had better holds this week, as well (though obviously actuals might see some slight adjustments all around). Nothing to be negative about imo.

No to all of that.

Nah.

Jordan Peele has said repeatedly that he only wants to do his own stories and has turned down stuff like Akira and The Flash. He’s not gonna be doing something like X-Men anytime soon.

Yeah, at this point I think it's safe to say that sequel ain't happening unless the TV series is a smash hit. What a letdown. The stench of the Bay movies is evidently still fresh in everyone's minds. Maybe they should've done the TV series first in order to ease folks back in, and then adapt it into the big screen.

I think Paramount would hope for a Spiderverse situation with the film continuing to get love on PVOD and streaming, leading to a great increase for the sequel. Combined with the low budget...think it's a strong possibility for a sequel.

What are the chances Nolan's next movie will be for James Gunn's DCU. Can we go below 0%. Who wouldn't want to be at a lunch with the two of them right now. Am I right?

I think it’s very important that Magneto is played by a Jewish actor and don’t really want a Magneto outside that. Especially when the MCU has shit Jewish representation.

 

Though of the current MCU director roster, Coogler is the only one who I think could pull off X-Men but I think after BP3, I would prefer and he should go back into original films or new things but I’m also okay if he sticks with Marvel as he’s their best director.

For all the doom and gloom over Meg 2 before release, its going to gross 400mil WW, AND beat Indy.

Could you imagine even suggesting that 3 months ago.🤣

Is 800M overseas possible?

Last week it made around 25 mln, it would have to collapse everywhere to miss 800m.

$850M for Oppy is very nice. Appears to have a very good chance of reaching $900M. 

I'm glad to see you found smth "nice" in Oppy's numbers). Especially for a person who earlier predicted much muuuuuch lower bo result for this movie.
