Ocean’s Eight
Clooney ’s film serial , of form , began withOcean ’s Eleven(a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack classic ) , which proved to be the most successful endeavor of the three films in the trilogy with a slap-up global cume of $ 450.7 million worldwide . But , whileOcean ’s Twelvebrought back most of its all - star cast from the first film and even added on top of it , the sequel surprisingly draw well less at the box post , earning just $ 362.7 million globally . Interestingly , while the global take did n’t cast off nearly as much forOcean ’s Thirteen , which gross $ 311.3 million , theOcean’sfranchise was set adrift - principally due to Bernie Mac ’s untimely decease in 2008 - until director Gary Ross came up with the refreshing idea of bringing together a mold of female heavy - hitter together for a completely novel heist picture .

According toVariety , the early tracking numbers are out , and it come out thatOcean ’s 8is heading for a $ 30 million opening weekend beginning June 8 , with the hypothesis with first step with as high-pitched as $ 36 million . If the estimates hold up , that ’s a very solid debut for the film , considering that it has a reported production budget of $ 70 million . And while the numbers are n’t of the blockbuster type , Varietynoted that , since the motion-picture show is likely to draw an older demographic , audiences will go on to twist out for the film , depending on reviews and tidings - of - lip , of course .
By contrast , the December 2001 release ofOcean ’s Elevenmade $ 38.1 million , but give ticket price inflation , that number would be a bit higher today : just over $ 61 million . Ocean ’s Twelve , meanwhile , fare slimly good with a $ 39.1 million in its opening frame in December 2004 , whileOcean ’s Thirteen , release in June 2007 , submit in $ 36.1 million in its first three days .
The big interrogative now is , canOcean ’s 8carry on the tradition of its predecessor and earn enough money to spur a trilogy of its own ? In a common sense , Ocean ’s 8is a spiritual sequel to theOcean’strilogy in thatBullock dally Debbie Ocean – the alienated sis of Clooney ’s Danny Ocean . So , ithastheOcean’sbrand and kinsperson going for it out of the logic gate . From there , there ’s no interrogative sentence that there ’s plenty of star power in Blanchett , Bullock , Hathaway , Paulson , and Bonham Carter combined to make audiences take card . The inclusion of singer Rihanna , meanwhile , should be helpful in attracting a younger demonstration , while apotential Matt Damon cameoshould help swot up the nostalgia of the original films .
