WB is so stupid lolol yeah they made their money but Barbie is gonna stay in theaters for awhile, they should've held off. Smart move. By that point WB will be getting less and less of the cinema tickets gross. They're screwing over cinemas, but for WB it's a decision that makes financial sense. The final gross number isn't as important for WB as it is for box office/Barbie fans. |

Greta Gerwig will not come back to WB if they screw her for sure. Neither would Robbie. I am skeptical this will go as planned. This movie is not just making money but is doing significant grosses. Next 2 weeks holds will be robust with Cinema Day and Labor day coming up. |

Does "digital" mean Max or just itunes? Cause I don't think a $20 rental on itunes really affects the box office all that much. It's for people who weren't going to come out to the theater anyway. Going on Max will end the box office run way too early though. That would be the dumbest thing WB has done since ... well everything they were doing before Barbie opened.

She isn't going to refuse that for a second movie because Warner Bros. made it earn $640m instead of $675m. |

Biggest Films of All Time Never #1 1 Sing $270,395,425 2 Oppenheimer $270,024,705 Just $370,720 to go and Oppenheimer is the biggest film of all time never to hit #1. To do $300M+ in the face of Barbie doing $600M+ is just mind boggling even if they went for different demos. This year might end up at $8.5-9B. Possibly $1B (10%+) of the total yearly gross came from ONE weekend of films!?

Oppenheimer will hit the $300M boxoffice mark. I’ve seen it 5x in theaters. |

What I meant - and what you didn't grasp - was that if there was something taboo in the movie or something frowned upon by today's social narrative, that would cause the masses not to show up. But they are showing up regardless. So it can't be an issue. Things that aren't issues are accepted by the masses. Must be what they want to see. OR -- the people that usually get triggered by such things are easily distracted by flamboyant production design that they didn't even notice it. It's probably that, actually. Wokesters aren't very clever. |

They should really do another chipmunks movie, even the third adjusts to 175 and the 4th still had good international numbers. I think a 5th would increase during the holiday season. The last one got killed by TFA |

My oldest who wants to watch John Wick and such remarked "these Chipmunks films are great, I like all of them" which surprised me. So I think you have a point. There's money on the table. The Chipmunks are timeless (I grew up with the 80s cartoon) and timing could be just right. Perhaps a Christmas theme? |

It's shocking how long The Chipmunks have managed to stay relevant. They started as musical song characters and were so successful they reached #1 on the Billboard chart in the 1958. They have 2 #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and have won five Grammy Awards, with four Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and three certified platinum albums. The Chipmunk Song is also one of the best-selling singles of all time at 5 million physical copies sold. Then they had a comic book in 1959. A TV show launched in 1961. Revived TV show in the 1980s. Theatrical movies in 2007 - 2015. 65 years of history and they could relaunch a new movie and it would probably do well. Those squeaky voices seem timeless to kids across generations. |

The Christmas song is a favorite for most, and I liked the cartoon and the 80s movie Scoob probably would have done very well in theaters. And I’m sure a chi Flinstones or jetsons would work well. Though a live action jetsons could do very well too. Those are the shows everyone watched pre streaming era as a kid |

Monday #'s Barbie $1,450,000 -45% $594,255,387 Gran Turismo $1,130,000 $18,540,552 Coraline $1,000,000 Oppenheimer $899,660 -36% $300,144,670 Blue Beetle $870,000 -60% $46,571,809 Meg 2: The Trench $335,000 -49% $74,470,142 Could this be Barbie's last week with $1M+ dailies? If it makes it to Sunday that's 45 days. Oppenheimer goes under $1M for the first time but passes $300M! Made it to 38 days. Also Coraline made $1M? I didn't see it on Mojo or the Numbers but it made $5M just on Sat and Sun for its re-release. That's great for a movie that made $75,286,229 domestic in 2009. Now it would be at $81.3M. |

Schools going back yesterday resulted in Barbie dipping below $1M for the first time. 1 The Equalizer 3 $3,410,000 $46,225,433 2 Barbie $901,169 -51% $613,232,678 Gran Turismo $655,000 -62% $31,519,211 Blue Beetle $572,109 -55% $59,303,167 Equalizer 2 did $5,002,719 1st Tuesday in late July 2018 and Equalizer 1 $3,631,659 1st Tuesday in September 2014 so think $3.4M is solid considering it's no longer summer season. The Tuesday # isn't that off from Equalizer 2's Monday of $3,688,910. |

We are past labor day and so its all about weekend holds at this point for Barbenheimer. Barbie will benefit from Imax release in 2 weeks. Should increase that weekend for sure. I am still hopeful its beating Jurassic World and finishing in Top 10. |

Shack wrote: 2019 Aladdin is weirdly high on the list I was thinking about how timing matters a lot for this list. A movie that opens big right before schools let out for summer is going to have an advantage vs a movie that opens essentially any other time, including mid-summer (i.e. Barbie, Dark Knight). Spider-man: No Way Home grossed, what $800m+ and ‘only’ has 38 days? |
