It's opening pretty far below the $90M 5-day expectations. So it's already not a good sign. Guess we'll see how much damage Barbie and Oppenheimer do.

paramount had plenty of time they could have moved it if they were concerned about cannibalization. seems they might have gambled and somewhat lost potential revenues.
also.. i would be curious... do summer movies tend to have a long tail. my impression is that while they occassionally do... long tails are much more common in breakout holiday releases than summer ones due to the excessive competition in summer vs winter.

Definitely not common, but it happens. Top Gun Maverick and The Lion King remake are the only ones that come to mind to have those kinds of legs.
Black Panther and Mario were both spring releases, and I feel like Avengers movies are kind of their own thing.
But for the vast majority of cases it's holiday releases for sure. Force Awakens, Titanic, Avatar, Way of Water, Frozen, etc. I feel like for massive event movies, that is the surefire way to get that kind of play.

Despite the somewhat lackluster domestic weekend, still a damn good global opening.
Overseas though, #TomCruise is crushing it, as #MissionImpossibleDeadReckoning grossed 25.8M on FRI, for a 82.1M 3-day cume overseas over 71 markets including previews!

Under projections yes, but reaching a new #MissionImpossible domestic peak with a 7th installment is something only #TomCruise can deliver nowadays.

so what happens in Hollywood if the Mission Impossible movie does not sell well?
so far Drudge is reporting the sales are stalling out and soft...

The only box office stat you need to know is that domestically GREEN LANTERN ($116M), unadjusted for inflation, will gross more than THE FLASH ($106M). pic.twitter.com/ug2yP4vUO6

Maybe they stop releasing 5 new movies every summer weekend!?
I wanted to see Transformers about 2 weeks after it came out and I couldn't find a showtime that worked cause it was already pushed down the ladder by a bunch of movies that nobody wanted to see.
I wonder if part of mission impossible lower box office is the fact thst everyone knows it's a "part 1" with the conclusion coming out in December.
I hate waiting for 2nd parts so might wait to watch part 1 until part 2 is about to come out.

Just FYI, Part Two is scheduled for June 28, 2024, not December, and will almost assuredly be delayed even further due to the strike.
BARBIE tracking is now up to $110M for 3-day weekend, per NRG. OPPENHEIMER up to $49M. Gonna be big weekend, especially if MISSION holds.

BOX OFFICE: Greta Gerwig’s #Barbie posts $22.3M in previews, which is the best start for any movie this year, topping #GOTGVol3 ($17.5M) and #AcrossTheSpiderVerse ($17.3M). Both of those films opened to more than $100M. Let’s party, Barbie! pic.twitter.com/Syp7Dho8a3

This weekend could be history in the making, as all films combined could hit as much as 300M 3-day weekend in the US.

If that does happen, it’ll be 1st time since #EndGame’s weekend debut -and just 4th time in history- that domestic #BoxOffice hits 300M on a single 3-day weekend. pic.twitter.com/pAVx6F5UwT

MASSIVE $22.3m for @barbiethemovie on Thursday, should head to a $150m+ opening. @OppenheimerFilm with $10.5m in previews and a potential $80m+ opening now on the table. Incredible, historic weekend for theatrical.

Mission Impossible is going to tank this weekend. From what I am seeing it was very soft through the week and presales for this weekend are really low
R-rated #Oppenheimer ready to blowup projections at US #BoxOffice this weekend, after EXPLOSIVE 10.5M THU Previews, biggest ever for a #ChristopherNolan’s original film, almost 2x #Dunkirk’s 5.5M

This. Which is why the opening weekend coming in below projections was so disappointing. It was really the only weekend of clear runway it had this summer.
Looking at local theaters today and tomorrow, I recant previous statement, everything seems to be getting a proximity bump and it may be a huge weekend for everything.Eso si, Que es said:

Deadline:
So far, Paramount's Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning despite shedding Imax, isn't taking a horrible hit, -54% in weekend 2 with $25M with a $124.2M running total. Friday is looking like $6.6M.
Could've been worse.

So you're saying movies can be profitable when you trust the artists' vision that made them? When it's not just run of the mill, lowest common denominator fluff meant to bore eyeballs in a quest for content hours watched or some bullshit metric?

One distrib points out that never before in the history of box office has a weekend seen one movie open to $100M+ and a second to $50M+.
This weekend could be history in the making, as all films combined could hit as much as 300M 3-day weekend in the US.

Ben Shapiro just called Barbie the most woke movie ever made
So the updated weekend projection for Barbie is: Broke
People are saying that most theaters are in the process of changing out the movie for a rerelease of "Left Behind (2000)" starring Kirk Cameron.
