Are you seriou? TLJ is doing 700 mil domestic. Minimum. It is impossible to not hit a billion worldwide.
You are better then this. Don't sink to Bronson levels

He was referring to the domestic total.

I don't think he was given his whole post.
No one was predicting any film to hit a billion domestic only

Maybe people were confused as to whether he meant domestic or worldwide because saying Episode 8 will hit a bil worldwide is maybe the safest box office prediction one could make in these threads, so people default to the possibility the prediction was being aimed at a harder to hit target.

Fuck man, people turning out for Nolan doing PG13 WWII movies that don't even feature the US.
Imagine if this dude ever decides to say "fuck it" and does an Inception sequel. I'm happy he's one of the few big directors doing original shit though.

Fixed.
And $400 mil domestic
inky said:
It's not really that obvious, and I don't think it will, really. It'll probably dip by about $100-150mil domestic.
I very much doubt it.
In any case, I have to wait a couple of weeks to confirm. And for Baby Driver too

Dude also left her for Milla Jovovich during the fifth element. The dude is messed up.
TFA had the hype of a new Star Wars movie going into it. Massive hype that was not seen for a film since The Phantom Menace, really.
However, TLJ now has the hype of three generations. The old people who watched the original trilogy, the 20 somethings who watched the prequels, and now the new generation of kids who are falling in love with the franchise through TFA and Rogue One.
If all three generations show up like I expect them to, I could see TLJ coming close. But I don't expect it to beat TFA domestically or worldwide.

Wow at that Luc quote about Dunkirk.

This seems pretty probable, too.
It's gonna be weird to get a film that makes $650 domestic and people act like it seriously disappointed.

Correct.
Well, it looks like an impossible number, but it really has everything going for it atm. Was thinking WW total, but it's hard to think foreign will make up for that dip if that is indeed the domestic trend. We'll see.

I mean I don't get why Eon doesn't do it. If Nolan wants the job like he seems to I have no idea why they keep fucking up their timelines instead of waiting for him. If they delay the next one till 2019 I don't see why he couldn't do it as his next film.
I think it's simple people want to see new fresh characters on screen. Look at wonder woman it's her first movie ever vs what spider man's 6th.

What you are saying just shows that TLJ will have a monster opening but the question remains. How many people will settle on for a repeated viewing? Because this is what propelled TFA to something like $930 million LTD. I doubt TLJ can repeat the same.
Not a record!
Pretty insane.

Do people really think the TLJ will beat TFA domestically? That's not how this works people.
Regarding Nolan, it's fun to say that he should do Star Wars or Bond. And I'm sure I'd really enjoy it. But I think I'd be kind of bummed. He's the only current director that I can name giving us original big spectacle movies where you can be pretty certain of the quality. That's not something I want to lose.

His name is John Heard. Pretty sure there is a thread.

Nolan has tackled Space, War, Science Fiction, Super Hero, Magic and Crime. What do you guys think he should tackle next as a genre?
It's fucking ridiculous. Reminds me a bit of Pacific Rim in that sense.

Western. Nolan filming vast desert landscapes with IMAX cameras would be money.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Speaking of movies nobody will care about when they're released, Pacific Rim: Uprising is gonna have a rough time too.
After his Dunkirk deal ($20M up front, 20% of box office) Imagine the deal he would get for Bond or Inception 2...

Fantasy.
Real answer - I wouldn't mind something sci-fi ish. Inception was fantastic.
Someone said Bond, that would be great too.

He needs to make the Heat-style crime movie he clearly wanted to make with Batman.

TLJ is breaking 600-650MM domestic, possibly more and breaking 1.4-1.5B WW, possibly more. I think it'll dip in China though based on RO's performance there and TFA didn't really do that well despite major marketing from Disney.
I am interested in seeing Hulk Ragnarok vs Justice League at the BO. I think the latter has an advantage and can break 500MM domestic and 1B WW, but it'll be interesting to see regardless.
Zombies. TLOU movie.

So you are saying Matt Reeves will be the next Nolan?
It'a all about the Asian markets for that movie now. Only reason they green-lit it would be my guess.
