'Spread the Word' is perfect.

Piracy is a BIG problem in Brazil, in my city the single IMAX screen we have is always full, but outside is pretty dead. I can see the sequel doing way better without the day and date release.

The directors branch seem to be really supporting him. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVGc03XvAqF/

5.1 12.4 13.85 (+11.7%) 8.65 (-37.5%) 40 So the worst it can drop to reach 40M is ~37,5%, seems doable right?

SATURDAY UPDATE: Denis Villeneuve’s Dune had a nice bump in China on Saturday, adding a further estimated RMB 62M ($9.7M) for a projected two-day market cume of RMB 101.1M ($15.84M). Although ticketing platform Maoyan has the daily box office just slightly lower, the Saturday increase regardless was upwards of 55%. As previously reported (see below), the early numbers out of the Middle Kingdom, where Legendary East handles Dune, are pointing towards a $20M+ opening weekend. Excluding China’s Saturday, the international box office cume through Friday on the Warner Bros/Legendary title is $150M. Coupled with domestic’s anticipated start as well as other new overseas markets and holdovers, the sci-fi epic will handily be at over $200M global through Sunday. Dune’s social score on Maoyan in China is currently an 8. By way of comparison, the most recent major Hollywood title to release in the market, Disney/20th Century Studios’ Free Guy, carried an 8.9 and went on to gross just shy of $95M. Dune is facing the play-out of local behemoth The Battle At Lake Changjin (RMB 5.24B/$821M cume through Saturday), but Maoyan has upped its final projection on the Timothée Chalamet-starrer to RMB 228.2 ($35.7M). Either way, the launch this weekend will surpass the lifetimes of both Villeneuve’s Arrival and Blade Runner 2049. Elsewhere, the UK is digging Dune. Friday’s take was £1.3M ($1.8M), coming in ahead of the third Friday for No Time To Die. Dune will likely land No. 2 for the frame in the market behind Bond, but has already grossed $3.3M through Friday. In Korea, where Dune is facing strong competition from Sony’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage at No. 1, it had a fantastic 122% jump from Friday to Saturday. The market cume, which is not included in the international total above, is $2.5M. We will have a full update on Sunday. https://deadline.com/2021/10/dune-china-uk-korea-opening-international-box-office-1234860686/

Yeah, Chani says:

I really loved it, my favorite movie of the year. I was afraid I wouldn't like the ending from the comments/reviews saying it was abrupt, but it was quite appropriate.

Yeah, bought my ticket now and I paid the same. It seems that Venom will maintain most of the screens this week too.

That makes more sense.

90% 7.9/10 with 80 reviews on RT, elegible to Cerfied Fresh.

That's exactly what was set up in the speech scene.

There's 4 MCU movies in 2022, this is one of the best release dates possible for the movie.

Q: What kinds of ‘beasts’ are we dealing with here – human or animal? A: The idea of beasts works on several different levels within the movies. There’s the literal sense of non-human creatures: some of them cute, some of them terrifying, some simply strange. Then there is the metaphorical sense of the beast inside a man, the crude emotions that a manipulative genius like Grindelwald knows how to stoke and use. We’re also dealing with the idea of beastly people: that some humans are something less than human. Even where there is great charisma and intelligence, there may be an utter lack of conscience. Finally, I’m exploring the idea of creating beasts, which is to say, othering or dehumanising our fellow people, as the first step towards cruelty or extermination. So through this beastly landscape walk our original four characters, led by the shambling figure of Newt Scamander, who loves the purity of creatures that the world might call monsters. The human world around Newt and his friends is becoming darker and more complex, and the original hunt for escaped creatures will become a hunt for something much more elusive and difficult: a return to humanity. https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/latest-answers-to-frequently-asked-questions/

Well, I liked it. The Yusuf Kama storyline was pretty convoluted, but I liked Leta Lestrange character and the rise of fascism plotline with Grindelwald. The movie made the same thing in EU-UK in terms of boxoffice performance, so I guess some people liked it. It can go both ways with the third one.

The new release date seems pretty good. 25 March 2022 Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) 08 April 2022 The Northman (2022) Bullet Train (2022) Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) 15 April 2022 Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore Lost City of D (2022) 22 April 2022 The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) 06 May 2022 Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

Warner Bros/Legendary’s Dune has surpassed expectations, harvesting $36.8M at the international box office from just 24 markets in early release. The Denis Villeneuve-directed sci-fi epic was the top movie overseas this weekend, coming in with No. 1s in virtually all openings. In like–for-likes and at today’s rates, Dune is tracking 4% ahead of Tenet, 33% ahead of Black Widow, 52% ahead of Blade Runner 2049, 58% above Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings and 80% ahead of Godzilla Vs Kong. IMAX delivered a fantastic $3.6M from 142 screens representing roughly 10% of the total weekend and a $25K per-screen average. Dune demolished pandemic-era box office records for the network in 10 markets including Russia, France, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Ukraine, as well as Hong Kong and Singapore. Overall, this is a great result for the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s world-building 1965 classic novel — and this is only the beginning. Industry projections had Dune seeing a $20M+ launch. Ultimately, Russia and France were neck-and-neck as the best plays with the former debuting to $7.6M and the latter at $7.5M. Germany ($4.9M), Italy ($2.6M) and Spain ($2.2M) round out the Top 5. Dune world premiered at the Venice Film Festival, before moving to Paris for a special event screening at the Grand Rex cinema, a showing at the Deauville American Film Festival and a berth at Toronto. Dune hits Middle East markets on September 22 with Japan and some other Asian and EMEA markets on October 15, followed by Korea, the UK, some smaller Euro markets and all of Latin America during the October 20 frame — in line with domestic. Australia, given the state of cinema closures there, is currently dated December 2. https://deadline.com/2021/09/dune-opening-weekend-shang-chi-global-international-box-office-1234839288/

I think Taron Egerton was #6 that year, he was nominated at SAG, BAFTA and won GG comedy/musical against Eddie.

I'm cheering for her, but the Academy has a history of overlooking performances in sci-fi/fantasy films.

I think it will win sound and VFX at least. Picture and director noms seems likely with it being nominated in every technical category. Acting noms aren't happening. Adapted screenplay will be the least likely but still possible. edit: A win in score is very likely too.
