Sannie Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Just now, R.E.M. said: M3gan smashed wdym Good point! Barbie is more universal than a thriller movie so you may be on to something. M3gan smashed with critics too so that definitely helped it. As long as Barbie does not get panned, it could do the same.

Or Hunger Games. Or Pitch perfect 2 didn't open with 70M. This is gonna open really high, most viral original movie in years. Edited June 9, 2023 by vale9001
EnigmaticAndroid Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 And thank God this looks like it'll be a big hit for Margot's sake
GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 The first week will be cute. If not for the movie itself, the BARBIE brand is humongous. Lets see how it does from the second week onwards. I wouldn’t get too excited.
UnusualBoy Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 There's no way this will flop, the british cigarrettes and girls will make it a success.
Baby Judas Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 We're so used to seeing superhero movies doing at least $100M that looking at these numbers, both look tragic to me. Don't drag me though, I have no idea how the box office works. 1
bad guy Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 6 hours ago, Broken said: 1 hit vs. 30 flops. Girl... 3 hits. Don’t forgot Wolf of Wall Street and Once Upon a Time (and soon Barbie)
Blade Runner Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 No way in hell. Both movies will make more than that.
futurenostalgic Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Margot's box office receipts are only good with strong IP stuff or surrounding herself with bigger stars in ensemble movies. She found the formula to lowkey gaslight the audience with her "appeal"
Gossip_Boy Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I think Barbie will get over $60M if reviews are good (which I anticipate they will be given Greta's track record). Will be heavily WOM dependent. The lack of female-oriented films in summer will probably also help it.
fridayteenage Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 we'll see. out of curiosity, non-action/cartoon female-led openings: 2020-2023 Little Mermaid $96 Quiet Place II $48 Scream VI $44 2015-2019 Us $71 Pitch Perfect II $69 Cinderella $68 Horror + princesses; fits in with the latter. I had forgotten how big Pitch Perfect was at its peak though.
Feanor Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Updated with latest projections. Box office elixir Margot Robbie is coming to slay.
vale9001 Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Presales are big big, on pair with GOTG 3 and bigger than Mario. Of course It won't take last moment walk ups as Mario cause It's animated, but especially if It's good ad takes good reviews it can even go imo in the 90- 95m final range.

Men just being men and underrating this. Also the 55M Ow and 120M final prediction LOOOOOL Edited June 23, 2023 by vale9001
OrgVisual Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 So it's a guaranteed box office smash as they only need like 200M to breakeven?
vale9001 Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Sales continues to be very big not only for previews but also for all the weekend. According to analysts they are at around 90% of the Batman (134M OW) and Thor 4 (144m) pre sale after 3 days. A 100m debut seems now not impossible. Edited June 23, 2023 by vale9001
