      I've had friends say they want to see Oppenheimer because it's "the next American Sniper". They meant this in a positive way. 💀

      I don't know anybody who gives a shit about these movies or will see them, regardless of politics.

      You can't deny the numbers though, maybe its just you and you're lucky with your acquaintances but this is literally like saying "yeah the latest capeshit made 1 billion and I don't know anyone who watched it or wants to watch it". I mean, come on now.

      Also in the current state hollywood commentary is right now I think it is an extremely safe bet that if there was actualy any indication that either of those movies flopped the media would run with this for all the rage clickbait from pretty much every side.

          I just assume the numbers represent a subset of people who are regular moviegoers or something.

          Not sure about that, I know a number of people who have gone (including myself), and I don't think most of them are regular moviegoers (I'm certainly not, it's been like like 6 years since the last time I can remember). Admittedly, I wouldn't have gone and would have waited for it to drop for free on the internet if someone hadn't talked about going, but even that isn't something that really happens to me normally
