I'm happy for F4 fans that they finally have the casting news but Pedro Pascal gotta be the laziest safest most damage control (he's Internet Daddy so we will get automatic points) casting in history. At least they showed some effort with the rest. But then I guess better an actor they know for sure is liked and who they already have a good relationship with than Majors 2.0 clusterfuck.
Either way, happy for fans but this IP never did anything for me.

France was Dune's #3 OS market (25.4M) after China (39.5M) and UK (28.8M). Based on the rapturous reception, it's gonna blow up in this market. It should also improve Mexican performance (5M). All of them were during the pandemic.

Sweeney (headlining a hit ABY, still on Euphoria) and Merced (major role in TLOU 2) will be fine. Dakota will very likely be fine too. Or she'll have to do 50 Shades from Grey's POV (there's a book). You know the drill. when something you headline flops hard you revert back to whatever hit you had that could produce a sequel/prequel/other.

Why was this even greenlit to begin with?

Also, this fan-driven superhero piece is starting off at 23%. And scores for these usually go down as more reviews are published. I'll leave you all to be the judge of that.
what fans?

Mexico premiere got great response. So there's hope.
Europe is going to blow up like nobody's business. I think it'll increase in LATAM and Asia maybe not too much but it should make mroe than the first that fell just a hair short of 300M OS during pandemic. So 500M OS wouldn't be unrealistic.

yeah I am sure the performances of an Ezra Miller Flash movie and The Marvels which looked like ICarly with superheroes is going to be a sign of how a Deadpool and Wolverine movie will do
Exactly lol. D&W won't be impacted by flops and it won't impact movies coming after it. I still remember laughable cope that GOTG3 success would reverse the curse and boost The Marvels (some even expected Loki Season 2 finale to the same same). We saw how that turned out. This will be a standalone event like NWH but likely not nearly that big.

Look at Barbie, it didn't even reach 30 million views on YouTube and yet it was an incredible successI think it matters more how much we talk about it and the hype in general the months before
Opphenaimer has more views than SuperMario and yet the latter has grossed more at the box office.
and both were incredible successesThis. Views don't say where a movie will land on the success scale or whether it will succeed at all. I've no doubt this will be big - iconic popular characters teamup what's not to like? - but didn't The Marvels have decent trailer views that didn't point at the most epic bomb in decades about to detonate?
Also, twitter is not GA so lack of trending means zilch.

This all makes me wonder how accurate his claims about Ballerina are, and if the movie is truly as bad as he claims.
Director is Len Wiseman so chances of mega suckage are very high.

put this down to an epic marketing fail. This should be opening to minimum $10 million, Super Bowl weekend or not.I just read the synopsis and I'm not surprised it tanked. It isn't even for Goths. Such an unappealing concept lol.
Re: Dune rerlease. 1.7M is really good for it goven that it's been avalibale on streaming for years.

Warm Bodies did well with rotting corpses and no vampires. This one just didn't look like it knew who it was targeting outside goths.
That is true though Warm Bodies didn't do the vampire-level business. But it was profitable for sure. And it had Hoult who had fandom from Skins days and X Men. I don't know who or what this thing had going for it.

So, it's Poor Things against Oppy on ceremony
Not necessarily. Barbie is more likely to win this than Oppie which profited from split category. It's between Barbie and Poor Things. Ditto in Costume.

MG collapsed but it's still a win for the originally intended direct-to-streaming release. People overestimate cultural impact as a factor in any success. Lots of movies have no cultural impact yet turn profit.
Aquaman 2 keeps chugging along, Wonka flat out slays with late legs. Zaslav should be pleased.
ABY and 🐝 continue to astonish. Hopefully OS holds are strong too.
Lisa Frankenstein bombed as expected. Todja, rotting corpses and no vampires. Will never be romantic.

There's isn't just zero chance that Dune:Messiah won't be made. There's negative numbers chance.

DesertIMAX power. That's the one trump card this reissue has over the Pixar ones. Combine that with its huge cinephile/film buff following who will gladly shell out every penny needed for a PLF ticket, and you have yourself a solid result. I'm genuinely pissed it didn't come to my area, as I would've loved to see it. I rewatched it at home at least, and it still holds up today.Indeed. Also, reissue less than a month before the release of the second part is a valid occasion. I've no clue what Disney was thinking with the reissue of those cartoons.

Solid but not amazing
The movie is on Netflix so this is actually a good result, not an embarrassment like Soul and Turning Red.

Hollywood should at least try to put out more worthwhile content on Super Bowl weekends even if Sundays get hit hard. I blamed the Bowl for these hardships beforehand, but this thread made me realize that movies like American Sniper and Taken did surprisingly well even against that behemoth. So evidently the right product can make a living here. It gets numbing to watch the same dry desert at the same weekend every year.
Exactly. If you put the right product in the Bowl weekend people will find time in their Bowl schedule to watch. Prioritize Friday, Saturday, matine Sunday or morning and afternoon shows to evening ones. But when you put shit in it they stay home.

I’m shocked LF is opening this bad. I didn’t even realise it was opening this weekend, and I’m guessing its audience didn’t either.
Super Bowl has nothing to do with an opening this weak.
Why? Rotting corpses will never be romantic. If someone thought they would replace always stylish and sexy bad boy vampires, they were mistaken. But the movie's cheap so it won't matter.
YA also tried to make angels happen and while Mortal Instruments books were huge they never translated on the screen. Never became the next vampires. Zombies, Frankenstein, etc just don't have the vampire appeal.

Very smart of WB to have T,Z,F,A carry the promo blitz. Built-in fandom is already over the moon with how well part 1 turned out so if the popular cast gets more normies especially younger ones that see movies in groups the better.

it feels like a sort of streaming movie anyway to be honest. Enjoyed it fine, but there’s an air of the Disney channel about a lot of it, for sure.
Still, big success for Paramount
Absolutely. Reasonably budgeted + streaming quality makes over 100M worldwide = success story. A movie doesn't need to break out to be a success if it turns out profit.

First one had pandemic and hybrid release. This one will open bigger than current projections which seem way too cautious. But better downplay and then claim exceeded expectations than the other way around.
-
It isn't big enough money to move the nedle and the studio is focused on oscar campaign. Just my guess.
-
All changes I've heard so far (that includes the ones in tags) can be worked around in Messiah if he makes it and they don't hurt Dune movie. Books are different medium so you can get away with stuff that don't work in movies and I think he made right decisions.

Sweeney will be fine. This is a bad movie, not really her fault (she doesn't headline it so there's that). She has Euphoria and ABY. Trank's F4 didn't hurt careers either.
