Director Zack Snyder made a bold claim in a guest appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. Snyder surprised listeners when he said that more people probably saw the movie than him. Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire than Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.
first part of rebel moon debuted in Netflix in December of last year and quickly caught the attention of sci-fi and fantasy fans.
How many people actually tuned in? rebel moon It’s unclear due to Netflix’s distribution model, but Snyder guessed the film got between 80 and 90 million views.
“Eighty or 90 million accounts activated it, more or less. That assumes two viewers per screening, right? she asked Rogan, according to Variety. “That’s the kind of math. So you think that if that movie were in the theater as a distribution model, there would supposedly be like 160,000,000 people watching it according to those calculations. 160,000,000 people at $10 a ticket would be… what’s that math? I don’t know. 160,000,000 times ten.”
He continued: “That’s 1.6 billion. So probably more people saw rebel moon what did you see Barbie in the theater, right?
Barbie It was released in July 2023 and became the highest-grossing film of the year after grossing $1.4 billion at the international box office. If Snyder’s math is correct, it is possible that rebel moon could have had more audience than Barbie.
Snyder insisted that he still loves Barbie despite a line in the film that mocks him. During America Ferrara’s monologue, a Barbie played by Alexandra Shipp describes her journey into the fictional patriarchy as “A dream in which she was actually involved in the Zack Snyder’s Cut of Justice League.’”
Synder told Rogan: “That’s a line from that movie, literally, and I was like, that’s amazing. My wife said, ‘That’s good, right? It’s great that they came for you. I thought, that’s 100% cool.”
Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire now streaming on Netflix. A sequel to the film is expected to premiere on Netflix in April.
