Its one of the few movies audience & critics agree on

So it's gonna get to $600 million domestically. I wonder where the final total will end up??

Read some box office people say it could get to $700M domestic if they keep it in theatres (and off Paramount+) long enough to reach Labor Day weekend. And a dead August.

Yes, that's definitely true. But there's the question of scale. Everything, Everywhere All At Once has also had incredibly good word of mouth and is still in the top 10. But it's a totally different scale.

And a $2b global total is also possible.

Seems semi similar

At least in the fact that these were two movies nobody saw coming & were pleasantly surprised

No one is asking for Days of Thunder: Trickle Down, either, but if they made it it would also be a billion-dollar stunner.

You aren’t rooting for it to make 2 billion. Don’t tell porkies.

Unfortunately not and I regret it. It was just a standard theatre and even then the sound was great!

EDIT: I just checked all my local Cineplex theatres and the only one with IMAX was downtown Toronto. WAY too far away given the theatre we went to was 15 km away.

Looks like Elvis took the ScreenX screens from this.

Elvis got the ScreenX but TGM got the 4DX back for one more week.
