It's still early days and a ticket to the cinema here costs a good buck, but I think it's doing well?
Curious, do you live there or are you just there temporarily?

How do you speak English so gud?

Do you speak Spanish as well?

I ask because Dunkirktrash/dunkirktrash frequently says things like "costs a good buck" that a second-language speaker would never say, but she lives in Argentina and not the U.S., so that makes me curious.

I'm from Australia, mate (lol). My family is from Argentina and they moved to Brisbane before I was born. I speak both Spanish and English fluently. I have issues with verb conjugation in Spanish sometimes and with prepositions in English, probs cos I kept moving when I was a kid (we moved back and forth a few times) so my core education was inconsistent.

Con respecto a tu segunda pregunta, sí, hablo español. Pero mi español es argentinizado, no el español que la mayoría del mundo habla.

So now that Dunkirk--a WWII film not about America and no leading stars--made $50 million opening weekend thanks to WB's good marketing of Mr. Nolan's name and such, do y'all think that Interstellar would have also done better (i.e. not lost to Big Hero 6) if WB had been the distributor instead of Paramount?

Probably not. It was going up against a family film and got much more divisive reviews.
