The Dark Shape Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 This isn't a crack on Dune, but Interstellar is much much much much much more audience friendly than Dune. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I think he means a movie that seemed posied for universal raves that ended up quite polarizing after it was seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Looks like it is well made but too slow and not general audience friendly. Will flop. Honestly in the age of prestige TV big ass books that don’t have much initial general appeal should be made into HBo or streaming series instead. Now this film franchise is in doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The studio so far has not disclosed streaming viewership numbers for its 2021 slate of films, including the DC Cinematic Universe tentpole. However, HBO Max chief Andy Forssell revealed Sunday that Suicide Squad boasted the second-most viewed opening of any film premiering day-and-date on HBO Max. Sources say Mortal Kombat is No. 1, although no one is certain of the viewership tally. ‘Suicide Squad’ Box Office: Movie No Hero With $26.5M Opening – The Hollywood Reporter That sounds like an admission of "it flopped" given the massive budget differences between the two movies (Godzilla vs. Kong posting huge-for-the-pandemic-era theatrical numbers offset any handwringing over having smaller streaming numbers than Mortal Kombat). We'll see how Dune does in comparison to their expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marveldcfox Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Will be lucky to make Arrival numbers. I don't see any WB movie doing well this year except maybe Matrix if it receives decent reviews. Suicide Squad is an overrated R rated pretentious movie. Zero story telling. It was all slam bang blood guts, shit and cussing mixed with funny moments. Much better movies have been made in that genre with actual good story telling.

Fury Road was loved by everyone out the gate, this...not so much (and only the trades have seen it so far, who knows what will happen once it moves beyond the festival circuit). Fury Road got a B+. It didn’t turn a profit because it cost too much, but the Internet loves it, as do I. I just get a similar vibe, that’s all.

We'll see how Dune does in comparison to their expectations. Not sure how you go from second most viewed to "it flopped" when it did better than everything that wasn't Mortal Kombat. Even the Samba numbers back that up - doing better than every other movie they had including GvK and WW84. With ITH, they straight up said no one cared. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I guess the question needs to be asked now - after the floppage of BR2049 and now the potential incoming floppage of this, which CBM will Denis Villeneuve have to direct next as a make good? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just made that up. In the link you used they said TSS was the second most watched debut of the year. Samba are guessing 4.8m households in the first 18 days.

Merkel Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Some of you make it sound like the movie is being panned across the board...it's been getting very good reviews. Maybe not 100 % unanimous, which is probably impossible with Dune anyway, but great reviews nonetheless 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
