Globally, the horror pic scared up $85M. Audiences awarded The Nun 2 a C+, better than the C given to its predecessor, which grossed $363M worldwide after a $53M debut.

Also opening this week was the comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, which collected $10M from 3,650 screens. That’s below the $17M earned by My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 in 2016 and obviously much bigger than the $597K made by the original back in 2002. However, that film became a worldwide phenomenon, grossing an astonishing $375M. The sequel only accrued $92M. Weird how this franchise fizzled.

Last week’s champ, The Equalizer 3, dipped 65% for a $12.1M sophomore frame, bringing its domestic total to $61.9M. Globally, the threequel zipped past the $100M mark and might reach the $190M attained by its predecessors.

Summer champs Barbie and Oppenheimer continued to do big business. The former has now topped $1.4B at the global box office, while Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster surpassed $900M.

Rebel Moon Teaser Trailer Released by Netflix

• The Rebel Moon teaser trailer has officially dropped courtesy of Netflix. The first film of the 2-part film series will be called Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire and the 2nd film will be called Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver. Watch above or click here.

Rebel Moon Official Movie Titles Have Been Released

• We officially have titles for the upcoming Netflix big budget science fiction films from Zack Snyder. The first installment of Snyder’s action sci-fi franchise for Netflix is set to be called Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire, which will be available for streaming on December 22, 2023. Meanwhile, the second installment is expected to be titled Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver, which is reportedly eyeing a 2024 release.

Zack Snyder Talks Vision for Rebel Moon, Originally Star Wars Film

• Recent Rebel Moon news comes from the director himself discussing his own unique vision for a sci-fi epic. Despite his earlier plans for this to be a Star Wars movie, Snyder admits Rebel Moon’s Netflix release is a good thing in the end.
  
  Snyder reveals “I think it was a blessing in a lot of ways. Creatively, it’s wide open. We’re all a little shaped by Star Wars at this point. You can’t not be.” Indeed, he makes a good point as the mythology of the Star Wars franchise makes it difficult to tell completely new stories without being forced to acknowledge the history of the universe.
  
  The new Zack Snyder movie does seem to be its own distinct story which the director plans to expand into its own Star Wars-like shared universe with sequels and shows. It remains to be seen what the sequels have in store, but perhaps they will actually feature the “rebel moon” as Snyder reveals the titualr planet doesn’t appear in Rebel Moon. He explains that “The title is conceptual but there’s a planet named Vanna and Vanna is the rebel moon. It’s not even in one shot of this movie.”

Director Greta Gerwig’s Barbie opened to a historic $155 million domestically, well ahead of an expected $90 million to $110 million and helped fuel one of the biggest weekends in box office history.

Barbie — which brings to life Mattel’s iconic fashion doll — is also strutting to big numbers overseas. The pic launched to an impressive $182 million from 70 markets for a global bow of $337 million against a $145 million production budget. It scored the biggest opening ever for a WB title in major markets, including Mexico ($22.3 million), Brazil ($15.9 million) and Australia ($14.6 million). The U.K. led with $22.9 million, the biggest showing for the studio since the pandemic. Barbie wasn’t expected to make a big splash in Asian markets, although it did do better than expected in China with $8.2 million.

In North America, Barbie scored the biggest domestic start ever for a movie directed by a woman, solo or otherwise. The solo crown previously belonged to Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, which started off with $103.3 million domestically in 2017. In 2019, the Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck-directed Captain Marvel opened to $153 million.

It also marks the biggest opening for Barbie stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the biggest three-day opening for a movie based on a toy — eclipsing Transformers: Dark of the Moon ($115.9 million) — and Warners’ biggest opening for a non-D.C. pic or a sequel.

Meanwhile the historical film about J. Robert Oppenheimer and the making of the atomic bomb came in well ahead of expectations with $80.5 million. That’s director Christopher Nolan’s third-biggest domestic debut behind The Dark Knight Rises ($160.9 million) and The Dark Knight ($158.4 million), not adjusted for inflation.

Other stats: Oppenheimer ranks as the third-biggest opening ever for a biographical film in North America behind American Sniper ($89.3 million) and The Passion of the Christ ($83.8 million), not adjusted for inflation.

Overseas, Oppenheimer launched with a strong $93.7 million from 78 markets for a global start of $174.2 million against a $100 million production budget. The film was Nolan’s biggest non-superhero opening in no fewer than 55 markets.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas (also known as Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas) is a 1993 American stop-motion animated musical dark fantasy Halloween-Christmas film directed by Henry Selick, and produced and conceived by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, the King of “Halloween Town” who stumbles through a portal to “Christmas Town” and decides to celebrate the holiday. Danny Elfman wrote the songs and score, and provided the singing voice of Jack. The principal voice cast also includes Chris Sarandon, Catherine O’Hara, William Hickey, Ken Page, Paul Reubens, Glenn Shadix, and Ed Ivory.

Halloween Town is a fantasy world filled with monsters, ghosts, ghouls, goblins, zombies, demons, mummies, vampires, werewolves, and witches. Jack Skellington, the “Pumpkin King,” leader of the town, and main protagonist leads them in organizing the annual Halloween celebrations. However, privately Jack has grown weary of the same routine year after year and wants something new. Wandering in the woods the morning after Halloween, he stumbles across seven trees containing doors leading to towns representing various holidays, and opens a portal to Christmas Town. Awed by the unfamiliar holiday, Jack returns to Halloween Town to show the residents his findings, but they fail to grasp the idea of Christmas and compare everything to their ideas of Halloween, although they do relate to one Christmas Town character; a red lobster-like king who flies at night named “Sandy Claws”. Jack sequesters himself in his tower to study Christmas and find a way to rationally explain it, but cannot. He ultimately decides that it’s unfair for Christmas Town alone to enjoy the holiday and announces that he and the citizens of Halloween Town will take over Christmas this year.

Jack assigns the citizens of Halloween Town Christmas-themed jobs, including singing carols, making presents, and building a sleigh to be pulled by skeletal reindeer. Sally, a beautiful rag doll woman that is secretly in love with Jack, feels that their efforts will end in disaster, but Jack dismisses this and assigns her the task of sewing him a red coat to wear. He also tasks Lock, Shock and Barrel, a trio of mischievous trick-or-treating children, to abduct Santa Claus and bring him back to Halloween Town. Jack tells Santa he will be bringing Christmas to the world in his place this year. Jack orders the trio to keep Santa safe, but the children instead deliver Santa to Oogie Boogie, a gambling-addicted bogeyman, who plots to play a game with Santa’s life at stake. Sally attempts to rescue Santa so he can stop Jack, but Oogie captures her as well.

Jack departs to deliver presents to the world, but the Halloween-styled gifts terrify and attack the populace. As concerns over “Santa’s” behavior grows, the military takes action and shoots down Jack, causing him to crash in a cemetery. As Jack bemoans the disaster he has made of Christmas, he finds he enjoyed the experience nonetheless, reigniting his love of Halloween. Jack returns to Halloween Town and finds Oogie’s lair. Oogie tries to kill Jack, but Jack pulls apart the thread holding his cloth form together, revealing a massive pile of bugs that fall into Oogie’s cauldron and are killed. Jack apologizes to Santa for his actions, and Santa assures Jack that he can fix things and returns to Christmas Town.

As Santa replaces the Halloween-style presents with genuine ones, the townspeople of Halloween Town celebrate Jack’s return. Santa then visits Halloween Town and brings them a snowfall for the residents to play with. In the graveyard, Jack and Sally declare their love for each other.
