what if Oppenheimer is the biggest movie of the year?


not Super Mario or The Flash or Indiana Jones or Mission or Barbie,

it comes out and does like a 75m opening wkend, but then 2nd wkend is like a 1% drop and so on and it ends up doing like 1.5b ww

imagine that..

Not gonna happen! Barbie might be a sleeper hit. Mission #1 I’m only seeing Mission btw.

Streaming for me! Not paying to see this.

Almost 1 billion.

I think its going to be huge.

I think you meant boringest. Based on Chris Snorlan’s previous films.

When is the last time a drama is Top 1 on boxoffice of that year?

reply

Titanic (1997)? It was a fantasy for teenagers, though.

Christopher Nolan will be happy. I'll be waiting till it's out of theater.

Then hopefully they'll do a follow up movie about John Von Neumann -- the smartest man who ever lived, who also played a key role in the Manhattan Project:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann

Von Neumann made major contributions to many fields, including mathematics (mathematical logic, measure theory, functional analysis, ergodic theory, group theory, lattice theory, representation theory, operator algebras, matrix theory, geometry, and numerical analysis), physics (quantum mechanics, hydrodynamics & ballistics, nuclear physics and quantum statistical mechanics), economics (game theory and general equilibrium theory), computing (Von Neumann architecture, linear programming, numerical meteorology, scientific computing, self-replicating machines, stochastic computing), and statistics. He was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics in the development of functional analysis, and a key figure in the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata, the universal constructor and the digital computer.

Von Neumann published over 150 papers: about 60 in pure mathematics, 60 in applied mathematics, 20 in physics, and the remainder on special mathematical subjects or non-mathematical subjects.[16] His last work, an unfinished manuscript written while he was dying, was later published in book form as The Computer and the Brain.
