As Hollywood strikes, the cinemas will be filled with a comedy-satire, a devastating dramatic film, and last week’s action extravaganza. The time has come to drive up to Malibu for a fun day in the sun or venture to a desert town to see a revolutionary weapon technology breakthrough for an unspeakable war like World War II.
Oppenheimer
and Barbie are set to make their dual debuts this week, and while tinsel town is at a standstill due to the warring studios and creatives, this is an exciting week for cinema. According to Deadline, the projections for both Barbie and Oppenheimer are on track for some impressive numbers, with a combined total of $260 million dollars around the globe. Barbie is said to have bested Disney’s live-action
The Little Mermaid in presale ticket totals, as both are aiming for predominantly similar demographics. Warner Bros. has set a safety call of $75 million for 4,200 theaters. The Mattel movie, however, is expected to have a weekend gross between $90 million and $125 million in the United States, while the global totals will be $165 million. Offshore markets are looking like $60 million to $65 million from France and Korea among majors on Wednesday, followed by Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia and all of Latin America on Thursday, and then the UK and China on Friday.Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan’s newest film has been getting buzz as hot as the sun since The Dark Knight
, as many are praising Oppenheimer to be the filmmaker’s best work, plus claims that the film is so haunting that it stays with you in emotional devastation. Even with the film’s hype and although it sports its own impressive cast and talent, the nature of it being a heavy drama at three hours with an R rating gives the movie a lower accessibility than Barbie as well as a smaller demographic. The drama will likely gross $40 to $50 million in domestic theaters. The global take will add another $40, which is estimated to round up to $100 million. This would be an impressive opening for a drama with a lot of dialogue. The three films this week offer a wide range of appeal, with something for all ages and demographics. Enjoy the magic of the movies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ezbBugUQiQ
