Jesus Christ both of these movies will be massive, wouldn't be surprised at all if Oppenheimer outgrossed Dunkirk globally.

Studios are gonna clamor to try and get the next property they think will be "the next Barbie" and fail miserably  but I do think this is gonna be a game changer in terms of making more blockbusters for women

This will be a commercial resurgence for Robbie after her consecutive flops (despite being in actually decent movies), she needs this on her resume.

 

Greta Gerwig will be WB/Zaslav's golden goose he's gonna open the pocketbooks for her after this smashing success. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is all but going to be hers after the Narnia reboot.

 

We're definitely gonna be seeing more women-leaning big budget projects. Hopefully this gives labels faith is reviving the mid-sized female-oriented comedy like Bridesmaids (one of the best comedies of all time) and just more women-leaning projects.

MY GOD Barbie becomes the 2nd biggest debut in history in Brazil with an absurd R$ 22.9 million on its first day of exhibition. The feature is second only to Avengers - Endgame (R$ 29.9M).

I still do wonder if Oppenheimer will have legs due to its runtime and I think the ratio will be more in favor of domestic than foreign (love to be proved wrong).

 

Barbie will be at 800 M$ minimun and a great ad for ratings for the Oscars : original screenplay, supporting actor, original song, costume and set design, maybe lead actress depending of how long the strike goes on and delay fall movies, original song and who knows, maybe they will let Greta have a director nom again

330M opening incoming?

I just came back from my local pastry shop and they were selling Barbie-labeled pink bread 

Brazil is going crazy for this

The 9am showing of Barbie tomorrow At my local theater is only 50% sold out.  The film is flopping. It will only make $200million domestically.  (Bookmark me)

I could also see them try to create the next "Barbenheimer" and fail as the whole Barbenheimer craze happened organically.

It's so funny seeing how many people have completely lowballed this movie because of it having social media hype or being 'too female'. I can't wait for a certain subreddits face when this movie hopefully hits $1 billion.

if Top Gun 2 (a sequel with any reason to exist if not to make money and being a total commercial movie) was nominated this year (and in some way Avatar 2 too) i don't see why Barbie if became massive in the culture can't be nominated also for Best Picture once also critically acclaimed.

A 9am showing being half full a day in advance seems good...

 

And it's made more than a tenth of $200m in less than a day

[Da Vinci]

Latin America and Europe will DEVOUR Barbie

Ditto.mp3 for Australia and New Zealand

Has anyone ever done the math as to what the cap is for a film’s opening week?  There is only a finite number of screens and seats so this seems like something we can figure out.

It's hard to tell for BP as the pool is bigger and movie does have a feminist stance that might turn off some... members lol but I hope so! It's def one of the only blockbuster budget that has the critics going for it!

Nobody post in those threads. It will be forgotten in a couple of weeks. Mess.
