Love how both are essentially passion projects succeeding, just like how the Avatar movies succeeded

Isn't there already several threads about barbies box office in the entertainment section?

As with every major release 

[Domination]

Oppenheimer honestly hit the jackpot with Barbie opening the same day. As is always the case we these types of releases, the “which one will you chose?” marketing that usually follows ends up benefitting both projects and after Tenet (which I loved  ), Nolan needed the free press.

Please, as if we're not getting the Barbie Cinematic Universe in the years to come

Can you guys not? Having a mostly female-lead movie made by a female director with a strong feminist message is a victory no matter what, especially with the rise of far-right anti-women policies. Stop making everything about you

cinema is BACK

The studios are already delaying fall movies due to the SAG strike, and this might include Dune 2 and The Color Purple. So no, cinema isn’t back. It’s going downhill from here

Early Fri estimates might be over $70M.. maybe $72M. Holy s**t.

 

Would make $170M possible. 

[TheDreamer]

What impresses me most is that Oppenheimer - Nolan's longest-running film, an R-rated biopic, is going to open higher than all of his non-Dark Knight films (Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk)  The fact that it could potentially $90million on its opening weekend after being forecasted to open with just $40m a month ago is insane!

 

Also, not the audience score and critics score aligning for both! Cinema really won this weekend

Why was this thread pinned? 

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

I never expected this thread to be pinned  I'm low-key shocked

I asked for it to be pinned in HQ. This is the main thread for us to be discussing the box office for all films, not just Barbie and Oppenheimer, right? That’s why you created it @Gwendolyn?? I thought if this is where all box office discussions are being had, it’d be better to have it more easily accessible. 

[UnusualBoy]

The hype for Barbie is through the roof, is insane!!

I'm mostly surprised since mods literally ignore most of my requests

Nolan should be happy about this. The barbie effect is really helping this movie do very well. 

[Flare]

Barbie lowkey pulled Oppenheimer across the 50M line because there was 0 discussion in any of my circles about that movie. Even the political people I talk to were not discussing that film. Then, “Barbieheimer” happened and suddenly, everyone in my circles is talking about Oppenheimer (and left Barbie to rot but shared the memes ).

 

Thank god the general public is giving Barbie its 10s after all that aggressive promo.

Idek how Amy Tactless Shoemer was initially casted as Barbie, bc I literally can't see anyone else in this role aside from Margot herself

WHAT! They casted Amy initially? She looks like those cabbage patch dolls not a Barbie lol

[MonsterTown]

ready to watch both movies

[Sparksfly88]

Im going tomorrow to see Barbie at 10:00am showing cuz I don’t want to deal with finding parking at night but idgaf

 

im so excited for this movie I haven’t been to the movie theater since Coco came out 

[BNF91]

I'm gonna say Barbie ends up with $175M domestic and $175M OS debuts. $350M global debut. Crazy. 

[TheDreamer]

The audience sitting through and eating up a 3-hour R-rated biopic holy ****  The legs will be insane!

 

Looks like Nolan will finally have his Oscar moment!
