I'm fine with all that.

Yup look at Mean Girls. Not exactly shitty but bland. Has nothing to say. Cast won't be iconic. But even with shitty holds it made more money than it would on streaming where it would probably have Kissing Booth/After series viewership.

Djimon made a big career out of being wasted, though. Everyone knows him, he's everywhere and paychecks are nice.

Mean Girls can thank its lucky stars that it was direct-to-streaming originally so it looks like success now. But if it was theatrical from the start it would have been a disappointment considering lame af holds.

Yeah, phones tend to remove tags, not show images and stuff like that.

On the phone? The tags are properly placed so it isn't the fault of anyone who posted spoilers in tags. They did it correctly and there's no rule against tagged spoilers in non-spoiler thread that I know of.

Isabella started filming TLOU 2 so she can't anyway.

Believe in massive boxoffice. This is to Dune what dragion riding is to GOT/HOTD. Looks beyond phenomenal: Fire up Dunebillion?

Premiered in Mexico, fandom reaction through the roof (I know, doesn't say much), critics still under embargo. First one made 5M during pandemic but I guess WB senses potential hence premiere there.

I know. I was just saying that fandom reaction aligns with reactions from before that event.

IN! Looks really good.

EC called it a masterpiece for what is worth and he saw it before these fans. Nolan called it ESB and he saw it before these fans too.

Beekeeper has better PTA than Oscar movies. 🐝

Does it matter? Barbie showed that if one demo is big enough and motivated to do repeat viewings, it can carry a movie very far. Causasian women really carried that one. Granted, Dune II is unlikely to make that kind of money but all I'm saying that skewing more one demo is not necessarily a doom for legs.

she is 2. I mean it is weird but the character isn't weird and creepy physically. she's a cute well meaning kid who freaks everyone out for being mentally mature.

She's only creepy because she's an adult mind in a child's body but otherwise she was very sad that everyone was scared of her. Most tragic character in Atreides saga later on (Children of Dune). 😢

Worked really well for American Sniper and Breaking Dawn:

Ah OK didn't know that. still, TLM has always been too girly. Not that too girly cannot be an insane hit (Barbie) but being interesting to a secondary audience helps. BatB had a monster and some action to keep boys entertianed between shipper scenes. Aladdin obivously was a boys story with romance for girls.

They added more to the budget when they saw AWOW. still, underwater effect was a diaster so where did 300M+ (before tax break) go? Also, they expected more from the movie even though the cartoon made less money than other revival cartoons. Just bad management all around.

It's not an epic falure but it isn't a success. Just calling a spade spade.

I just don't like when movies like TLM are passed as hits equal to real hits because they are not. breaking even is not Barbie or Oppenheimer success. It's not a hit. I don't care how many dolls TLM sold (my sister has one) it isn't a theatrical hit let alone an undisputed one unlike Barbenheimer that doesn't need Miss Flo toys to appear like success. There's an extreme push to spin this one as success so thank goodness real successes like Barbenheimer and Spiderverse happened to show what it looks like. I get that Disney had a terrible year and TLM and Elemental are the closest to a hit they had after GOTG 3 which was a real hit no Groot Toys Save Us. But they were not hits.

This is great! Stars have become too vanilla and afraid of their own shadow so one that goes Russell Crowe on reporters is a breath of fresh air.

Can international posters let me know if SNL skit that went viral is trending OS in your countries too or not? Just tyring to figure out OS OW. Dom is looking like 100M will happen.

Viral skit. Nolan compares it to ESB. Yep, 100M+ OW is happening.

Also, those who overemphasize dom gross forget that studios get the largest % only in the first 10 days of dom release not for the whole run. That's why everything is geared towards OW. We like legs but studios would trade legs for 300M OW in a heartbeat cause they get the biggest % then and not 13 or 30 days later. Even if TLM broke even (big if) it wasn't profitable from the theatrical run due to ridiculous budget (that wasn't on the screen).
