There would be no changes in the strategy of Hollywood studios. They would still focus on franchise movies in particular. Even the Joker movie (Rated R) primarily made a ton of money because it's based on a very popular franchise character.nightfury93 wrote: ↑July 27th, 2023, 1:04 pm
I know it is not going to happen, but just for fun - what would the fallout be from a movie like this (3 hour R rated drama biopic) ever did make a billion dollars at the worldwide box office?
Box Office
At this rate, if Nolan wants to build an entire goddamn planet for his next film, Universal better let him do it.

Oppenheimer made $10M yesterday, -6% from Wednesday, for a first week of $127.8M. Again, in the face of Barbie, that’s an excellent hold. Barbie is expected to gross around $70M in weekend 2, Oppenheimer is around $35M. We are hearing both pics are looking at the best second weekend presales ever.
The Boxoffice Company, which supplies showtimes to Google, TikTok, IMDB, Bing and Apple is reporting a record-breaking sales for its network of 150 exhibition partners. Barbie and Oppenheimer are collectively generating one of the best holdover weekends ever since Avengers: Endgame. Per the leading theater chains with the Box Office Company, this past week is shaping up to be the best full week of ticket sales since Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s full holiday week of Dec. 17-23, 2021.

$47 million weekend predicted, with $14 million being called today.
Not accounting for inflation, I've been comparing Oppenheimer's daily numbers, both dollar amounts and percentage drops, with Inception's and Oppenheimer's first week has been more or less the same as Inception, which makes me wonder if it'll really wind up with that hefty 4.66 multiplier or not (which would give Oppenheimer around $384 million domestically by the end of its run, which sounds insane, but everything about it has been unprecedented so far).
Either way, I think it still has a great chance of cracking $300 million when it's all said and done, which would make it Nolan's highest non-Batman movie ever stateside. Truly nuts.

Man, this is such a victory lap after the WB fiasco. Love seeing Nolan win such a favorable reception and a ton of cash for such a risky and ambitious project.
