I do not know. 160 million occasions ten. That is $1.6 billion. So extra folks in all probability noticed Insurgent Moon than noticed Barbie within the theater, proper?”
Snyder admits the notion is astonishing on its face.

I used to be at this factor the opposite day and we had been speaking about Insurgent Moon 2. They usually had been like, ‘Properly, discuss Insurgent Moon the primary one.’ I am like, ‘No, go fucking watch it. I do know you’ve got it at your home.
“It isn’t like a theater scenario. You could possibly flip it in your telephone proper now and watch it proper right here in the event you wished. That is how loopy it’s. This mannequin, this machine they’ve constructed is basically one thing else. It is actually loopy if you consider it.”
Insurgent Moon is at present on Netflix.
