Stranger things certainly helped but I think the gimmick of killer clowns was a bigger draw than people realise. You didn't have to read IT or watch the old adaptations to know what it was. I remember there was even people dressed as clowns causing a bit of mayhem before IT opened, awareness was sky high because it's a fear many people can relate too. Dune on the other hand is a harder sell. There wasn't much in the books or previous adaptations that has made it iconic to general movie goers so it has an uphill battle and the tone they seem to have taken seem more inline with my taste than 'high grossing blockbuster' taste but I would love to be proven wrong

It was always more popular and well known. Dune has never really been a big name, I'd class it as well known and popular as the original Blade Runner, which doesn't bode well Meanwhile everyone is scared of fucking clowns. Ive heard many people through my years wonder why there was no recent adaptation of IT, noone talks of Dune though because most people don't even know what it is

Wow If you could never flirt at work, I wouldn't be alive today. I met my fiance whilst working and in 8 weeks we will be welcoming our first child. I will never regret asking my fiance to a date whilst being at work, it's made my life Thoughts like yours are honestly scary, I'm glad you're the minority

Oh yeah she didn't like white people reviewing movies with black people in them, I remember now. 50% of people meet their partners through work. Nothing wrong with asking someone out whilst working, it's just being spontaneous and most of us are fine with it. If you're not fine with it then a simple rejection would suffice, she didn't have to rant online about it. We don't want to live in a world where building up the courage to ask someone out is frowned upon. Security guard dodged a speeding bullet there

It's hard to take you seriously when overseas, F9 will end up grossing more than both MCU movies this year combined. It trippled BW and you're trying to tell me MCU averagely is a bigger draw overseas? Sorry but no, this year is your proof. Even with the added premier Access gross, BW's worldwide take is coming in below F9's overseas gross. You are also forgetting the 3D subcharge for all these marvel movies too which give its gross an added 10% at the very least. Over the past 10 years the average Fast movie has grossed 768m overseas (would be closer to 850m with 3D) compared to MCU's 725 (with 3D). The odds of the next fast movies grossing more overseas than the next MCU movie is high. A betting agency would have an average Fast movie as an overseas favourite to an average MCU movie. Even your examples, CM, FFH and IM 3 all sold less tickets overseas than the average fast movie this last 10 years. So I have to disagree, the performances don't really support your claim

Goldeneye was always my favourite until CR. Just let Martin Campbell direct all the reboots
