The only good thing about it was Ken. That's not saying a whole lot.

I’m guessing the OP is talking about movies that came out this year.

Didn't take much for Top Gun: Maverick to do it, so it's not the pandemic, it's not this, it's not that, it's there is NO movie coming out that that many people want to spend the money to go see. When most of them are soulless remakes and ripoffs or have to send 'THE MESSAGE!', it's no surprise. People don't like paying $15 to be told everything is their fault and a loudmouthed obnoxious woman (extra points for being a minority, extra extra points for being a lesbian) can do it better.
If Star Wars: A New Hope came out today with the exact same turnout from 1977, it would make $4.09 billion worldwide. A movie that EVERYBODY just KNEW was going to bomb.

See, the irony about your observation regarding “The Message!” is that Barbie was the highest grossing movie of last year.

There's something ironic about this quote. But yeah, Nova, as a white man you do not speak for me. And neither does that monotone prisoner of His Majesty you are quoting.

The fascination with box office started around the time of Star Wars. Before that, people didn't think about whether it would make $30 million, $50 million etc..

Top Gun: Maverick did the same thing, without 'THE MESSAGE!', how?
If men turned out for Barbie it could've doubled Maverick's profit.

I don’t think there will be one this year. What really has a shot that hasn’t released yet?

Why would there be? Those are not very common nowadays.

Big deal.
Box Office rarely has to do with the quality of the movie. Plenty of very good movies don't even make half a billion dollars.

I think the new Deadpool movie will be the only one to get near 1 billion this year.

I think Hollywood needs to move past the 1 billion dollar movie. It may happen occasionally like with Barbie. It won’t be a regular thing anymore like it was pre-2020. My personal opinion is Hollywood needs to go back to making more lower budget films. They can’t keep making only a handful of 200 million dollar plus budgeted movies hoping they’ll all gross a billion. It’s not gonna happen. Focus on making movies at 100 million or significantly less.

Apparently movies aren't even able to break $100M at the opening box office anymore. That ain't the pandemic.

Doubt it will happen this year. Cinemas aren’t the draw for the masses that thy used to be.
The billion dollar mark has become an unhealthy obsession anyway.
