Like it or not the most successful Bond ever was directed by an auteur. Not saying Bond needs an A-list director every time, but Nolan would make the next release the biggest Bond event since Thunderball.

I feel like it’s now or never speaking about the possibility of Nolan helming a Bond film. EoN needs a huge event to kickstart a difficult new era after 15 years of Craig. Nolan is at a turning point as well with no attachment to any studio and Op…

Oppenheimer is pulling off one of the most incredible box-office runs since 2019. A 3 hours drama biopic about a scientist likely to cross $800M is nuts.

Watched it a second time. Yes, it’s flawed but still a good entry. I’m pretty confident once Part 2 will come out this one may look even better. The only thing that really bugs me is Ilsa. Her character is absolutely wasted, she barely speaks and I…

Bad times for M:I at the domestic boxoffice after a pretty bad $3M Friday. Fallout had $5.3M. 3rd weekend is gonna be a disappointing $10/11M. Full run in the US likely to end around $175M, lower than what De Palma’s first film made in the nineties…

The obvious outcome turned out to be true. Barbenheimer destroyed the boxoffice and SoF took almost all the white audiences left. To top Rogue Nation would be the real mission impossible but I don’t see it cross $600M neither. Paramount really …

One of the best but it definitely left me destroyed for a couple of hours.

There is no Mission Impossible without Tom. The stunts that he performs for real are the only selling point of the franchise.

I loved the use of Dutch angles in this one. $235M global launch.

The strike has zero impact towards current boxoffice. It’s a problem for films under production. Shooting for Dead Reckoning 2 has been halted for example.

I always perceived the latest M:I films as pretty well made exercises made in order to display Cruise’s third youth. They were. Nice action but besides the big set pieces nothing to remember. DR1 is different tho. It’s a M:I film where the action …

So it looks like it will collect $250/270M til Sunday. Besting Fallout and crossing $800M globally sounds quite likely with such an opening.
