They pretty much have to. This will easily open in the low to mid $200m range if comes out before 2025 ends. If they make this a CHRISTMAS movie? $250m opening weekend. |

I think a second film will open about the same and decrease total. The novelty will be lost |

Just make sure it opens against Oppenheimer 2: The Dark Night. |

Good article on the marketing campaign that Mattel / WB pulled off. They apparently will make $75M in addition to box office via the 100+ partnerships they made alone. I'd argue this marketing campaign was at an ID4, Matrix, Blair Witch or TDK type level over the last 30 years. Quote: Rival studio executives commend Warners and Mattel for what they say is a marketing campaign for the ages. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movie ... 235534537/ I think it would be near impossible for every ingredient that happened this time to work for a sequel. It may make more but the cultural impact will be very hard to replicate here. |

WB would need to get it out within the next 30 months, I would argue. They took way too long to get Black Pather 2 made, and obviously the lead star was dead. It took 4 years for TDKR to follow TDK, and obviously no Heath. Barbie 2 will be enormous opener if they make it soon and keep the trio. |

A sequel would open close to this one but I don’t see it increasing. Possibly an Avatar 2 style hold in total gross. |

They were putting cold water on sequel talk but I guess the awards reunion and fun the team had Greta started saying she's more open to it. Barbie stars sort of stole the Oscars show despite only winning 1 award. It's going to be hard getting the novelty of the first one but still going to be a huge event. Ryan/Margot are doing an Ocean's 11 prequel together likely first so that would be good to prime audiences again for a Barbie reunion. No script so maybe a 2027 release at the earliest. By then, Barbie could adjust to $716M so could lose 30% of its attendance and still clear $500M. |

I think it will happen with Gerwig's apparent interest in commercial movies. |

Of course it is gonna happen. Just had to get through award seasons pretending it wasn't a franchise film. I suspect Nolan has already figured out his next project too, likely a blockbuster, but wanted to keep the attention on Oppenehiemer. |

IP this profitable never gets left idle. The sequel will be big but it will make less overall than the first. |

I hope they announce it later this year and target 2026 Summer. Will be among the biggest movies of the year for sure. |

They only really need Margot to come back. Ryan Gosling too but they could replace him with another Ken (one of the Marvel Chrises?). They will offer Margot $100 million if that's what it takes to get her to come back. So this will get made. |

I would be shocked given how busy their schedules are and the scale of the production (caused a pink paint shortage worldwide) if they could get this out by 2026. Story, strike delays, negotiations, etc. $145M budget for the first film. Margot/Ryan got $12.5M each (though sure they got lots backend). I'd be shocked if the sequel's budget was under $250M. |

I think Gerwig will be too busy with Narnia for it to come out that fast |
