I completely agree 80m is lowballing. Looking at how well the Super Mario movie did, I could see Barbie opening a lot higher. Oppenheimer looks fantastic for sure, but I think most audiences aren't going out for a 3 hour historical biopic, even if it Christopher Nolan. Every other movie is bombing right now. The schedule looks like these 2 are the only thing worth a damn for 2 solid weeks until TMNT August 2. Everything is working in Barbies favor to be a mega hit, now it just has to be good.

Don't use it until you get an ash catcher. Literally just got one last night and seeing it work and keeping the inside pipes clean is amazing 10./10!

I think a lot of what has to do with how movies either boom or bust is mostly up to the budget. Indy 5 is budgeted at 300m. That is just an insanely high price for ANY movie, let alone one that isn't 100% guaranteed to be a hit. If they were able to spend a reasonable amount on the film (100m?) and not blow out the budget, it would probably make some profit. Its like these studios think if they just spend more they will for sure make it back, regardless of quality.

Oh yeah for sure its not doing $150m. I'm just saying that Super Mario and Barbie are both extremely popular 80s and 90s IP and that I think the market is ripe for these kinds of remakes or reboots to really over perform. 100m opening, book it.

I'm pretty sure it will just give you the war score if you have the heir already captured.

A hook against the war leader is probably not very useful because he's gonna super hate you forever anyway if you take his land.
