I’ve become fascinated by Alysa Liu’s story from a sports psychology lens. I’m not sure I’ve seen a talented young athlete completely rid themselves of external pressures and attain the level of athletic & artistic freedom she has. This woman is a mental Goliath.
These opening weekend numbers don’t mean shit anymore. They gave one of the greatest living directors $130M to make a potential best picture film, nothing else matters. Word of mouth, streaming, and award season will give it incredible longevity.
After a record breaking string of 7 movies opening to over $40M domestically, @warnerbros will have, this coming weekend, its first flop of the year since ‘Mickey 17’.
Having cost $130M, ‘One Battle After Another’ is tracking to open to only $19M-$25M this weekend domestically.
