B.O. Totals: ‘Barbie’ $93 Million “Barbie” made $93 million this weekend, A mere 43% drop from the previous weekend, bringing its total to $351 million in just two weeks. That’s the biggest second weekend in Warner Bros’ history. It also passed the $750 million mark worldwide.

The last thing I felt (before, during or after) BARBIE was hate. I had actually lots of fun while watching it and recognized myself in many things particular as a woman, yes. But Barbie isn't flawless she's actually miles away from being perfect (in both worlds, real and Barbieland) but that's the whole point of the movie. No one is perfect and even more important no one has to be. For me the movie is about solidarity, understanding, commitment for others and yourself, acceptance for others and yourself, equal rights - not only womens but mens too (or Kens lol) and learning not only from mistakes but each other to make it different/better in the future.

^Liv Tyler is great. Love her 🥰 I don't really know Claire Willett to be honest just thought the comments I posted were on point lol

He looks hot

^more of Leo and Natasha (one of the "blonde bombshells" LOL)

Not that I had any hopes but damn this movie was bad

^right 😅 364 days for Leo. 1 for the family.

‘Barbie’ Crosses $500 Million Worldwide in Just Nine Days # Barbie” has officially crossed the $500 million mark worldwide and it’s only been in theaters for 9 days. It could very well dethrone “Super Mario Bros” as the top-grossing movie of the year. It’ll probably top the $750 million mark by Sunday. ‘Mario’ was at $693 million after its second weekend. This is more than just a movie. It’s a cultural phenomenon. Greta Gerwig’s playful dollhouse has also grossed $250 million domestically. Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and, especially, Gerwig will now reap the benefits of being in such a popular enterprise. Oh, and “Barbie” grossed $21.4 million on Thursday, that’s higher than last week’s Thursday previews. That is insane. “Avengers: Endgame” made $21.5 million in its second Thursday. So what we’re looking at here is a historic box-office success. Barbie for president. Bye.

Oscars — Best Picture Race Slowly Taking Shape: Nolan vs Scorsese? I know it’s way too early to speculate, but an Oscar race is is slowly brewing between Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” What I will say is that, if it really comes down to these two movies, then I’ll be more than happy with the outcome because, truth be told, Nolan and Scorsese’s films are two of the best big studio films I’ve seen so far this year. As for Gerwig’s “Barbie,” it has received enough acclaim, immense box-office and become a cultural phenomenon that I just can’t see it missing a nomination, even with a little more than five months left in the year. Technically, Celine Song’s “Past Lives” is still the most critically acclaimed movie of the year and there might not be another movie to dethrone it this year. The Oscar quota is there as well. Immigrant story, female director, indie success and the A24 machine fully backing it. What else? I’m almost tempted to believe that “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” has a shot. A major blockbuster that’ll have Academy voters willing to check their animation bias at the door, and for good reason. ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ is an animated gamechanger. Or, how about Ben Affleck “Air” which is said to have played very well with Academy voters these past few months. It’s the kind of safe and wholesome entertainment that wouldn’t have been out of place at the 1995 Oscars. A stacked cast and Affleck comeback is definitely an infectious narrative. A few foreign contenders screened at Cannes this year, prime among them is Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall,” a mesmerizing whodunnit that circumvents cliches to probe the hidden mysteries lying behind a potential murder. As stunningly rendered as Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” might be, its cool, detached arthouse style might not be enough to convince Academy voters of its virtues. Ditto Todd Haynes’ purposely campy, but probing, “May/December.” So, which upcoming fall titles might make a dent in the Best Picture race? Maybe Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro,” Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla,” Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn,” Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers,” Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron” and David Fincher’s “The Killer.” Fennell’s film comes with a hefty amount of buzz after this past Spring’s immensely well-received test screenings. Mann’s film also test-screened, but to less effective test scores, which is why the NYFF selection bewildered me, a bit. Ditto Cooper’s biopic, which had reshoots and has had different cuts screened in the last few months. Then there’s the non-festival films such as Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon” and “Dune: Chapter Two,” both of which could potentially be delayed due to the ongoing actors strike. My 07.28.23 rankings: 1. Killers of the Flower Moon 2. Oppenheimer 3. Past Lives 4. Barbie 5. Saltburn 6. The Holdovers 7. Air 8. Anatomy of a Fall 9. Maestro 10. Across the Spider-Verse

Oscars Predictions: Best Actor – Leonardo DiCaprio Early Favorite With Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti Awaiting Festival Bows Hollywood strikes will hinder awards campaigns, but great films will still seek recognition Variety Awards Circuit section is the home for all awards news and related content throughout the year, featuring the following: the official predictions for the upcoming Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and Tony Awards ceremonies, curated by Variety senior awards editor Clayton Davis. The prediction pages reflect the current standings in the race and do not reflect personal preferences for any individual contender. As other formal (and informal) polls suggest, competitions are fluid and subject to change based on buzz and events. Predictions are updated every Thursday. 2023 Oscars Predictions: Best Actor Weekly Commentary (Updated July 27, 2023): The Cannes Film Festival brought many notable films that could vie for awards consideration, including Apple’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” starring Leonardo DiCaprio. An Oscar-winner for “The Revenant” (2015), his turn as a husband with ulterior motives is one of his finest. It would be hard to imagine a lineup that wouldn’t include him. From the first half of 2023, smaller films have names worth considering, such as Kelvin Harrison Jr from Searchlight’s “Chevalier.” The summer has now dropped Cillian Murphy into the mix as the titular “Oppenheimer” from Christopher Nolan. Despite Nolan’s vast respect in the industry and pop culture, Heath Ledger (“The Dark Knight”) is the only actor nominated and won an Academy Award for one of the auteur’s movies. Could Murphy become the second (or third/fourth with co-stars Robert Downey Jr and Emily Blunt contending in supporting categories)? While we are expecting a supporting push for Ryan Gosling, there are some that see his brilliant turn as Ken in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” as a leading role. We’ll list him in both places for now. Amid the ongoing Hollywood strikes, the show must go on, at least in terms of fall festivals like Venice, Telluride and Toronto. At Venice, we’ll pay close attention to when Bradley Cooper’s sophomore directorial effort “Maestro” bows at the Lido. The biopic of Leonard Bernstein has the eight-time Oscar nominee playing the famed composer in a film he also wrote and produced for Netflix. The streamer hopes Cooper’s movie is going to be a significant player and become the third person to direct themselves to acting wins – after Laurence Olivier (“Hamlet”) and Roberto Benigni (“Life is Beautiful”). As can be expected, Netflix is brimming with multiple candidates that could pop up, such as Colman Domingo in George C. Wolfe’s “Rustin,” which will debut at TIFF. Another festival drop having strong early word is Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers,” with Paul Giamatti looking to avenge his criminal “Sideways” snub 20 years ago, another joint from Payne. Coincidentally, Jamie Foxx, who won that year for “Ray,” could be in the discussion again with Maggie Betts’ “The Burial.” Plenty more movies can move in or shift out of the calendar year. It’s still early, but the chess pieces are being implemented. And the Predicted Nominees Are: Paul Giamatti — “The Holdovers” (Focus Features) Leonardo DiCaprio — “Killers of the Flower Moon” (Apple Original Films/Paramount Pictures) Cillian Murphy — “Oppenheimer” (Universal Pictures) Bradley Cooper — “Maestro” (Netflix) Colman Domingo — “Rustin” (Netflix) Next in Line Kingsley Ben-Adir — “Bob Marley: One Love” (Paramount Pictures) Adam Driver — “Ferrari” (Neon) Jeffrey Wright — “American Fiction” (MGM) David Strathairn — “A Little Prayer” (Sony Pictures Classics) Paul Dano — “Dumb Money” (Sony Pictures) Other Top-Tier Possibilities Barry Keoghan — “Saltburn” (Amazon Studios) Anthony Hopkins — “Freud’s Last Session” (Sony Pictures Classics) ** Matt Damon — “Air” (Amazon Studios) Teo Yoo — “Past Lives” (A24) Christian Friedel — “The Zone of Interest” (A24) Michael Fassbender — “The Killer” (Netflix) Jamie Foxx — “The Burial” (Amazon Studios) Joaquin Phoenix — “Napoleon” (Apple Original Films/Sony Pictures) Jesse Garcia — “Flamin’ Hot” (Hulu/Searchlight Pictures) Jay Baruchel — “BlackBerry” (IFC Films) Also In Contention Zac Efron — “The Iron Claw” (A24) Lakeith Stanfield — “The Book of Clarence” (Sony Pictures) ** Jaime Vadell — “El Conde” (Netflix) Paul Mescal — “Foe” (Amazon Studios) Michael Fassbender — “Next Goal Wins” (Searchlight Pictures) Alden Ehrenreich — “Fair Play” (Netflix) Peter Sarsgaard — “Memory” (No U.S. Distribution) Justin H. Min— “Shortcomings” (Sony Pictures Classics) Timothée Chalamet — “Wonka” (Warner Bros.) Gael García Bernal — “Cassandro” (Amazon Studios) Source

Also not claiming Lainey is the most reliable source in the world wide web but here are her thoughts about the strike and KOTFM. (...) In other Leo news though, on the professional front, let’s talk about Leo and the strike. Killers of the Flower Moon is scheduled for release October 6. It is expected to be a major Oscar contender. But before that, what about the press tour? At this point, some promotional activity would be either happening or being arranged – like magazine shoots and interviews, pieces to roll out in the weeks preceding the premiere. These kinds of activities are now off the table due to the work stoppage. Right now, with negotiations having broken down and no new meetings scheduled between the unions and the AMTPT, it doesn’t look like the strike is ending any time soon. More and more I’m hearing from several writers and actors who are personal friends that it’ll be December or maybe even January. Which means, for the fall releases, that there won’t be any promotions. If the strike is still happening in October, in Leo’s case, he and the cast will not be participating in junkets and certainly won’t be seen on red carpets…which… I’m sure for Leo that’s a bonus, because he hates publicity. But it would f-cking suck for Lily Gladstone, the star of Killers of the Flower Moon, to not have her big moment in the marketing spotlight. Source Also this decision of paramount!!!??? Dear lord indeed. Hollywood is slowly dying. Predictions are saying the studio is no more in about 2 years.

So netflix can't pay their actors but they can pay for the AI programs? Hilarious. I guess now It's time to stop giving our money to netflix because what are they without customers??? Actually I already quit my account when they shut down the account sharing. AS HOLLYWOOD EXECUTIVES insist it is “just not realistic” to pay actors — 87 percent of whom earn less than $26,000 — more, they are spending lavishly on AI programs. While entertainment firms like Disney have declined to go into specifics about the nature of their investments in artificial intelligence, job postings and financial disclosures reviewed by The Intercept reveal new details about the extent of these companies’ embrace of the technology. In one case, Netflix is offering as much as $900,000 for a single AI product manager. Comment ‘CANCELLED’ if you plan to cancel your Netflix subscription. Source
