Another weekend in. $1,042,560,000 international. For a global haul of $1,631,636,965. First R rated movie to exceed one billion outside of the United States. By far the biggest international hit of any R-rated movie in history. 83 million in South Korea alone, for the biggest sales outside of Europe. UK and France were the only two countries to top South Korea. Pretty dismal performance in China. Just about flat after opening weekend. Spiderman is doing gangbusters there, though. |

Do you think Nolan is still in a full-blown panic? |

Do you think Nolan is still in a full-blown panic? It's still playing at first-run theaters around here so I guess he can relax a little bit. |

After that shit movie of The Revenant i stopped watching movies based off books. That was a shit show for anyone that read the AMAZING book. The cinematics are well above average. The use of 100% IMAX analog film is a noble gesture. Even if it was a TOTAL waste of time in extreme low light. But sure, why not, it's his vision of a timeless epic. Is it a classic? No. |

Seems this movie is designed to discourage, depress and distress Western Civilization and normal people. Left has this goal. Left controls entertainment and the funding for entertainment. Nations seeking to replace Western Civilization have lots of money, stolen from their populations, to spend on this kind of attack. Perhaps the revenue is real, perhaps it is as honest as the vote counting during the 2020 election cycle. |

The movies about a guy going against overwhelming odds to get back to his family after years of war. IMO it wasnt very discouraging or depressing. |

Good 1 and done in theater, but wouldn't rewatch if it was on TV (unlike say, The Prestige by Nolan, which I could rewatch 100 times). The sound effects are the strongest point - the roar of the army entering the gates of Troy and putting it to the torch is incredible. Best actor is the guy who doesn't have any lines.

Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.
General education should not be mere job training, but training in how to be fully human.

Do you think Nolan is still in a full-blown panic? It's still playing at first-run theaters around here so I guess he can relax a little bit. He probably needs to make at least 2 billion to break even, and it's really losing momentum now. Only 90 million more since my last post. This may be a career ender for him. He'll probably be eating beans and rice at a homeless shelter. |

That's what counts in the Nolan legacy. |

There were a couple of scenes the sound was so loud and intense I wished I had brought some ear pro! Lol |
