In no world is a 45-47M 2nd weekend “disappointing” for Dune Part lmao. The movie is already a sure fire hit. It’s met and exceeded expectations. A win is a win.
It it passes 500M then Messiah will be greenlit, if it’s not already. For a filmmaker like Denis and franchise like Dune sometimes it’s not always about the money. You have a high profile director and a blockbuster that’s getting universal acclaim and will play for Oscars.
