    This movie will not even break into the top 10 movies domestically. Not even for a short time. This year has been brutal to franchise movies.

    Exactly and it is encapsulated with the term woke: woke : aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) This is from the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

    Exactly. Barbie was always woke. This isn't anything new with this movie.

    Other examples, the introduction of Black Panther (Fantastic Four #52), the Liberators (Avengers #83), Sue Storm being the strongest members of the FF (which came later in the 1980s), etc.

    And if you think about it, none of this is new to today's movies. Hollywood has been doing this for a long, long time. It can be argued it is more blatant today (although there are examples, like the original Planet of the Apes movies, where I feel it was just as blatant). If you go into movies looking for it, you can find it in many, many movies. To make this relevant to comics, Marvel is notorious for doing this in their comics starting in the 1960s which is one of the reasons they are as big as they are today. Marvel was woke before woke was coined as a term.

    If this holds for the weekend, this movie will have earned $15 million less on its second weekend than the previous MI movie Fallout domestically. The good news is this is the standard 60-65% drop that would be expected for a movie with a big opening weekend and not something worse due to Barbenheimer. This year has been brutal to franchise movies.
