DUNE II | 341.0M overseas | 574.4M worldwide
Noctis replied to kayumanggi's topic in International Box Office
Will finish with under $700m. GxK will put a dent in its worldwide gross. -
Great for Dune and KFP4. I never believed in Dune 2 hitting $300m, not even with a $50m second weekend (well, that would have made things more believable). A $46.5m second weekend is amazing, and the fact that it's going to go well over $200m is a lot higher than what many predicted until the past two weeks. A total over $250m for a near 3-hour, dark sci-fi film is a massive win by any reasonable standard. I'm still seeing $275m-$285m. Its third weekend will be critical in determining where it will land. A $700m WW finish is very likely happening, and that is fantastic. And I really hope KFP4 hits $200m, too! It's an underrated franchise.

Loved this film. Performances are strong across the board, especially from Chalamet and Ferguson. The visuals are gorgeous and when the film soars, it really fucking soars. The themes of power, religious fanatacism, and deceit are so well done. My criticism for this film (though a bit better from the first) is that it can get a bit too long in a few scenes. Also...the Bene Gesserit are the most captivating presence in the film. They are so mysterious. Bring on The Holy Wars.

Dune 2 Opening Weekend Thread [3/01/24 -3/03/24] [82.5m DOM OW]

Messiah will happen, as Part 2 will be a big enough hit to justify it. Will Messiah just be one film, though? I heard -

WB did not expect this to do a billion - not even close. If you believe that, you might as well believe in the tooth fairy.- 969 replies

Robbie being snubbed was a surprise. Did not expect that, especially America Ferrera's nomination. I love Emily Blunt, but there were many better performances deserving of that nomination. -
Weekdays Thread: Boy and the Heron-Mon:1.19m, Tue: 1.46m, Wed: 1.3m
Noctis replied to Borobudur's topic in Numbers and Data
I keep saying that if MJ had been split into one film, it would have been a $450m-$475m grosser and probably hit a billion worldwide. Even without the aspect of the games, you could have easily made the traps seem like some sort of games, but more importantly, everyone would have wanted to see how the series would end. It also would have ended up becoming the only trilogy (without 3D, too) to keep increasing on their $400m predecessors. Shame. I really like MJ2, but a single film in the range of 2 hours 45 mins would have sufficed. -
I'm leaning more towards positive, and while the film's themes may stand out for a good portion, it does have a tendency to collapse under its own weight. Some of the imagery is stunningly beautiful - there are shots that completely blew me away. It's very interesting, and I am interested in revisiting it. I hope this is not his final film.
