Because those are the only Nolan movies to top 1 billion. I'll take that bet. North American total will not hit 400 million.

It's very difficult to use actual teenagers for teenagers parts because they might change a lot over a several months shoot (some movies do it and have this change as a part of the movie, like Nobody Knows). That's why you hire adults to play teenagers and for that the only criteria is how they look. That's why you hire Tom Holland even if he is 30.

L oh fucking L, 400 million in NA would handlily top every single R rated movie except one ever. Really? If that's as low as you're willing to go, you actually do believe it will be a success.

He was one of the highlights of the Harry Potter series. Noticeably better actor than the three leads even back then.

I chose that because you were bragging without putting any parameters except 1 billion. You want to do it right this time?

The casting along IS enough to despise the move regardless of screen time.
This is a social pressure campaign to “BUT DID U SEE IT BRO!!” To push people to spend shekels for the masters to laugh as the feed you poop.

I mean I guess the gross number might be a higher but I don't know what the margins are on something like that? I haven't gone to the theater let alone seen in IMAX film in years so there's no telling what the hell they cost. That's probably the same damn prices going to a music concert nowadays.
Just like the movie, the sales numbers and positive reviews are probably fake and gay, and I don't use that internet euphemism very often.

We gets tons of movies to high-five and ass pat each other about each year whereas you will be lucky if you get to gloat like this again this decade, which is probably why you're milking it so hard.

He really doesn't even have that. A 750k movie in 2019 would do over a billion today. The Batman movies absolutely destroyed what this movie will do already. I'm pretty sure this won't make a billion. I know it won't make 1.02 billion but the Hag is an ugly Avatar for any extended period if it hits between those markers.

If you're angry about race and gender in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," that's says more about you than it does the film.

People are still assmad about how white the LotR movies were a quarter century later.
It's color blind casting when you cast someone who isn't white.

Its funny how it's never discussed or acknowledged at all that the race swaps only go one way.

Does anyone know if the overall $ a movie makes over a box office weekend is still calculated the same after all these years? I mean a ticket now compared to the 90's is like quadruple the price. Having a movie make $100 million in the 90's compared to now wouldn't be the same thing but I don't know how they factor inflation into these things.

It’s just $
There are some places that will do the “LOTR would have made X is today’s money” but the calculations are usually dubious

Yeah, I'm fine with 1 billion as the bet (or 1.02 is fine with me too, which to be clear is 1,020,000,000 -- did you typo that?). If you mean 1.2 billion, again, that's ridiculous, as it would be, by far, the #2 r-rated film globally of all time. The bet I wanted to make is against someone who thinks it will be a failure or underperformer, not the #2 r-rated film of all time.
The continued comparisons with Batman are still super dumb. No one ever thought it would bring in top PG-13 numbers, especially not Nolan or the executives. If they wanted that they would have forced it to be PG-13. That rating makes a monumental difference.
If rockstar made the second most successful grand strategy game of all time that made 3x its budget/marketing, it would not be a failure simply because they also made GTA6. Ratings/genre matters.

See, hate the film all you want, but at least know what you're talking about. Imax presales count for the day of the showing, not in advance. I even already said this. There's more than just the first weekend that had presales, too. It's hard cope to think there's tens of thousands of tickets being held unsold by scalpers

You could say Homer's Odyssey shines through despite the casting. And the things I described earlier are not poop. I know you don't believe they are. Nolan does not have the power to ruin them.
