[LFAQs-redacted-quote] It's more than double than what the first movie did in comparison. It's not really the same as the MCU where spoilers are a big thing. If James Cameron's previous movies are any indication it will have a long and consistent theatrical run. The big question is more if that is still possible (this question was also raised for the previous two James Cameron movies it should be pointed out). --- A Fallen Mascot ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe not the best comparison here, since people have been enthusiastically quoting the original Top Gun for decades; unironically for the first 15 years or so, and then irony started to creep in over how in-the-closet the movie is. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read https://imgur.com/1WshTZu - by DB_Insider https://imgur.com/eW67nT8 - by Wii_Shaker ...

Maybe my IQ isnt as high as you guys?Shitty plot with terrible writing but a lot of the hate comes from the fact that it's an obvious allegory of the conquistadors ravaging the land and enslaving indigenous Americans, which would be fine if the protagonist wasn't one of the conquistadors sent in to kill the natives (which he successfully does, even killing his own "girlfriend's" parents) then changes his mind and leads the revolt against the invaders because the natives couldn't possibly fight off the invaders without the leadership of some white guy >_> Several Native American groups boycotted the film --- There is no good.

Even without our native american genocide background, "enemy infiltrating and becoming one of them to eventually becoming (white) savior" is a trope seen across time throughout the world. The movie IS simple in plot and characterization...but thats the point! Its a well made cliche for the masses, but at the end of the day youre going to see it for the visuals --- Mas dicen, que en las dimensiones de nuestro ser... hay muchos detalles por conocer... ...

Look, I honestly dont care how this movie does, but this is clearly a case of check the dates before taking this tweet at face value. Latest reports Ive seen were tracking domestic weekend at $170m. Assuming that holds true, I have doubts about the rest of the world making up another $350m. Then again, who knows?
