I think streaming is also killing movies in another way... People aren't seeing previews like they used to. If you're just watching netflix and youtube, it's likely you have no idea MI is even out. I think I've seen one preview

and that's if you don't got adblockers on or YTP.

Don't forget about the late night shows. All the 70 year olds who don't go to the movies anyway are missing those promotional interviews

Stepped in to see what the Coli thinks is the new MI film and it's nothing but a Marvel VS DC thread

Hey we all remember Tom on those couches don't we... Ain't nothing like millions of moms and old men with money

Elemental might as well win Comeback Playa of the Year if it breaks $500M WW. Should give it to them regardless. Nothing groundbreaking, but still a success compared to how they fared at the beginning. Original animation needs that dub and it should bode well for Pixar's next outing. Hopefully they promote that one a little bit better.

Mission Impossible should be more than fine. Cool thing about the July big hitters is that they're doing their own thing genre-wise. Not really battling for the same turf and seems way better than last month in that respect. I'll be watching both in separate nights, but I'm loving the double feature hype for Barbenheimer.

Haunted Mansion is a bit of a wild card to me. Didn't realize it was PG-13 until now. Comes across as a quality, fun movie from what I've seen and cast looks fantastic. I take it Disney is banking on pulling in more families around this time because otherwise I don't know why they didn't place it around Halloween season. It surely can't do worse than Indiana Jones though.

Poor Indy.

What's at the Movies this Weekend? (Jul. 21-23)​

---

No need to bury the lede. This week we got Barbenheimer. That is Barbie and Oppenheimer. Barbie will play at 4,243 theaters, 633 more than Oppenheimer's 3,610. You can have all that cross promotion that you want with the Barbenheimer that you want, but make no mistake about it, Warner Bros. is trying to bury Christopher Nolan. You think the Warner Bros. forgot that he left these m************ for Universal? Uh uh. You don't turn your back on the tribe.

Barbie is sitting at:
89%
TOMATOMETER
211 Reviews
90%
AUDIENCE SCORE
250+ Verified Ratings

It's looking to have the biggest opening of the year. That honor is currently held by The Super Mario Bros. Movie which opened to the tune of $146.3M in April. So what is this shyt about? Apparently, "Barbie suffers a crisis that leads her to question her world and her existence." Sounds like The Lego Movie. Down to Will Ferrell playing a businessman.

Oh shyt, we even got Gravik in this bytch playing a Ken doll? Hopefully they get his lineup right. Yooo they got the tranny from Idol playing a Barbie? Why not a Trehn? You know they ain't gon play this shyt in the Middle East without some heavy censorship.



The other half of the Barbenheimer double feature, Oppenheimer, is Christopher Nolan's much anticipated Universal debut after his fallout with WB. It's rocking a 93% on the TOMATOMETER from 211 Reviews. It's "the story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb." And it spans 3 whole mothatfukkin hours. It's film reels weigh 600 pounds and are 11 miles long. But a masterpiece is a masterpiece. And this has the benefit of locking IMAX down for the next 3 weeks. This is going to be appointment viewing like Avatar: The Way of Water was. It's looking to open at $60M+ which would outgross Nolan's Covid-riddled Tenet, which did $58.5M total.



Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One will still be playing in the most theaters at 4,321. It's up to $95.8M domestically and $264.8M globally. M:I - Fallout dropped 42% in its 2nd weekend, down to $35.3M. Gotta think the drop will be steeper this time around with Barbie and Oppie dropping bombs.

This weekend should be good

Back to back weekends at the theater for hummingbird. And It only took Hayley Atwell, Margot Robbie and Dua Lipa to get you there. Sweet PAWGing Jesus.

You and @PAWG Life bout to be at the theater like the PAWG Patrol

@PAWG Life, that might have to be your next PAWGing alias name change

 

[HipHopStan]

There’s a Presidential Election next year, so about this time a year from now we’ll be reminiscing on much simpler times when we had to choose between Oppenheimer and Barbie.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

After seeing the latest numbers coming in, I think Barbie could possibly get up over $150M and I think Oppenheimer could get close to $70M. Either way it's looking like a big weekend for both.

 

[White City Black]

If there’s no cinema out there at all that’s literally hosting a Barbieheimer double feature bill at least once this weekend, that’s a missed opportunity

I’m sure many would dispute that last sentiment for financial reasons, but I said what I said

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Both off to a hot start.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Will be interesting to see how big Barbie gets this weekend.

Hope some people still go see MI7, movie was fire to me.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Numbers are even bigger now. The full preview numbers are insane for both:

MI about to get lost in the shuffle. I forgot all about it but wanted to see it.
