Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' and Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' Projected To Take $150+ Million Combined Opening

Los Angeles, July 18 - The Hollywood trade is buzzing for the epic clash between two of the most-awaited movies, Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" and Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" which are scheduled to take on each other on July 21. ## The stakes are high for both the aforementioned films and the anticipation is skyrocketing as the release date is getting nearer. Both the movies, completely opposite to each other, are expected to be box office heavyweights and the latest projections indicate the same. ## There has been a significant improvement in "Barbie" as well as "Oppenheimer's" box office projections after the recently concluded premieres where both the movies received rousing receptions from critics. As per the latest projections, the Margot Robbie-starrer "Barbie" is tracking to score $110 million in its domestic (North America) opening weekend. ## "Barbie" was previously projected to score between $70 million and $80 million in the opening weekend, but now, the trade is anticipating it to go much higher. "Oppenheimer", on the other hand, also sees some improvement and is now projected to score $50 million domestic opening weekend from $40 million earlier projections. ## Both "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" are now projected to score $150+ million combined opening weekend domestically. "Oppenheimer" would be one of the lowest openings for Nolan's film ever if it opens on the projected lines. However, it was expected considering the busy summer box office, but at the same time, trade believes that the movie could have long legs at the box office to emerge as one of the biggest hits of the year. ## "Barbie" stars Margot Robbie in the titular role and Ryan Gosling as Ken alongside an ensemble supporting cast that includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell. The official premise of the movie states, "After being expelled from the utopian Barbie Land for being a less-than-perfect doll, Barbie and Ken go on a journey of self-discovery to the real world".## "Oppenheimer", which is Nolan's first film not to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures domestically or internationally since "Memento" (2000), is about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist who helped develop the first nuclear weapons. Based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film stars Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer, with a supporting ensemble cast including Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., and Florence Pugh, among many others.## Stay tuned...

Box Office Projections For Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' and Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' Revealed

Los Angeles, July 1 - Filmmakers Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" and Christopher Nolan's Atomic bomb drama "Oppenheimer" are two of the most anticipated Hollywood movies releasing this summer. What is more intriguing is that both movies are coming on the same day (July 21), indulging in one of the most epic box office battles in recent times. ## In the early box office projections, revealed yesterday (June 30), "Barbie" is tracking to open much bigger than "Oppenheimer". According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. romantic comedy film, based on the iconic Mattel toy line of dolls, is expected to score between $70 million and $80 million in the domestic (North America) opening weekend. ## "Barbie" stars Margot Robbie in the titular role and Ryan Gosling as Ken alongside an ensemble supporting cast that includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell. The official premise of the movie states, "After being expelled from the utopian Barbie Land for being a less-than-perfect doll, Barbie and Ken go on a journey of self-discovery to the real world".## Nolan's biographical thriller film "Oppenheimer" is tracking for a domestic debut in the $40 million - $50 million range. If the movie opens in the lower projection, it would be one of the lowest openings for Nolan's film. However, the movie could have long legs as reports say it is one of the finest movies ever made. ## "Oppenheimer" is Nolan's first film not to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures domestically or internationally since "Memento" (2000), as well as his first film to receive an R rating since "Insomnia" (2002). Given the R rating and a direct clash with an equally strong film, the opening between $40 million and $50 million is not that bad for this Universal Pictures pic. ## The movie is about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist who helped develop the first nuclear weapons. Based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film stars Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer, with a supporting ensemble cast including Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., and Florence Pugh, among many others. ## Stay tuned...

'Shang-Chi' Star Simu Liu Reveals Why He Chose Margot Robbie's 'Barbie'

Los Angeles, May 17 - Simu Liu, who headlined Marvel Studios' "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" last year, will next be seen in "Barbie". The movie, fronted by Margot Robbie, is the first-ever live-action film based on the fashion doll after a series of animated films and television series. ## Simu Liu in a recent interview with GQ UK revealed that he had almost a zero idea about the movie when he agreed to audition for a role in the movie and revealed that it was a junior agent at his management customer who advised him to take up the movie after he told it is one of the best scripts ever. ## "He literally said this verbatim", Liu told. "He was like, 'If I could stake my career on any one script, it's the Barbie script. I really think you should do it". He said that he sent in a self-tape audition which led director Greta Gerwig to request an in-person meeting. ## Simu Liu, wanting to grab a role in the film, told the filmmaker about his dance history with a competitive hip-hop team. "She audibly guffawed, she giggle-screamed — and then I got the part", Liu said.## The "Shang-Chi" actor described "Barbie" as wild and incredibly unique, adding, "I wish I could just show you what we do day-to-day because it's crazy". The film is not a musical, but Liu said he's been in dance rehearsals aplenty for the movie. The actor also teased what it's like working on a Greta Gerwig set. "When you're doing a scene and it's working, you hear, 'HAHAHAHA!' It's the best feeling in the world. If you're an asshole on a Greta Gerwig set, there's no hope for you", he said. ## Produced by LuckyChap Entertainment, Mattel Films, and Heyday Films, "Barbie" also stars Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Ariana Greenblatt, and Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell in supporting roles. ## The movie will be released on July 21, 2023, by Warner Bros.## Stay tuned...

And we all know what happened next.## OK @Marvel, are we gonna talk or what #ShangChi— Simu Liu (刘思慕) (@SimuLiu) December 3, 2018 ## Zendaya predicted she'd be on the cover of Seventeen magazine in 2012.

Over a decade later, Rae has starred in The Hate U Give, Hair Love, and The Lovebirds; hosted Saturday Night Live; been in seven music videos; and accepted a BET Award and an NAACP Image Award for her role on Insecure. ## When I grow up, I want to be a more successful version of me.— Issa Rae (@IssaRae) July 6, 2010 ## Hair Love director Matthew A. Cherry wrote in a tweet on 2 June 2012, that "I'm gonna be nominated for an Oscar one day. Already claiming it". Nearly 10 years later, on 15 January 2022, Matthew wrote on Instagram, "Literally unreal. Manifest your dreams!

Issa Rae calls music business 'the worst industry I have come across'

Los Angeles, Dec 28 (IANS) Actress Issa Rae, whose five-season run with the show 'Insecure' came to a close with a finale this weekend, has dipped more than a toe into the music business. ## She's started her own record label, Radio, and is producing a new show about aspiring rappers, using her existing career to help launch music ones. But rather than come off as thrilled about branching out into another industry, Rae is making it sound like she's entered a den of vipers, reports variety.com. ## Asked if the music business is "a place where good ideas flourish", Rae said: "Absolutely not." ## "It's probably the worst industry I've ever come across," she told the Los Angeles Times' Mikael Wood in a Q&A about her personal and professional experiences with music. ## "I thought Hollywood was crazy," Rae continued. ## "The music industry, it has to start all over again. There are lots of conflicts of interest. Archaic mentalities. Villains and criminals! It's an addiction industry, and I really feel for artists who need to get into it... It was something shocking to discover," she said. ## Rae did not get into her dismay with the music business beyond generalities but indicated her feelings were based on a combination of her own experiences setting up soundtracks and hearing from artists about what they deal with on a regular basis. ## "I do not want to be too specific, but even with making our own appointments (for soundtracks) with labels or artists, it would be so intricate. And to find out how artists were treated on other labels ... When I myself am a creator and know what I want in relation to a relationship with a production company or a producer, I would like to think that we are more artist-friendly than much of other brands and companies out there. I want to renew things." ## Rae also knocked the Grammys in the interview and singled out one record in particular she thought had been unfairly snubbed. ## "What really bums me out -- and this aligns with Hollywood -- is the way that music is rewarded. When I think about the Grammys and these other systems that are designed to reward artistic creativity and uplift artists, I just feel like, 'Y'all don't get it. What are you rewarding?' ## "This is dumb, but I'll say it anyway: A song like (Wizkid's) 'Essence' -- just absolutely a powerhouse, and yet could not be properly acknowledged by the institution that is supposed to celebrate the best in music -- that trips me out. To see Black people and our contributions to music not celebrated in the way they should be -- I mean, these aren't institutions for us.a ## Wizkid's 'Essence' was nominated for a Grammy for best global music performance, but no record of the year. Asked about the omission in a recent interview with Billboard, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said: "It is a great record. He's a very talented artist. I can't speak to why it didn't make it, but I do really love the record." ## Rae had plenty of good words for individual artists in the interview, singling out, naturally, the 2021 successes of Jazmine Sullivan, who recorded a title song for 'Insecure' in Season 2 with Bryson Tiller, saying, "She's just literally pure talent." ## Rae also cited Don Toliver and Cleo Sol as personal musical favorites from this year. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates.
