Menor the Destroyer Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Hoping this does great. A good start in Europe could help build buzz here in the States (hopefully would help counteract the HBO Max issue).

Last Man Standing Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 BR2049 numbers would be great considering the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the trailer is so big and great. It seems like a big sci fi epic you have to see on a big screen and it seems like an adult movie, not a cgi cartoon in Europe "everyone" over 45 hates. And it's a sci fi epic with a great cast with a multi target appeal. Edited September 14, 2021 by vale900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Hopefully it does better than BR2049 coz that is such a low bar even considering the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Those projections look great, fingers crossed for more. It should be massive in Canada cause LOTR was massive there too. Also, Canadian director + popular book. That could offset HBO Max somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's everyone. Stilgar is white (played by Xavier Bardem). They didn't make them just one or the other. Also, (some) Imperials are black.

ThomasNicole Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 If Dune manage to make 250M during pandemic with HBO Max it will be seen as a huge win. Seems to be doing GREAT in Europe so far and WOM should make it stable. Now US just need to doesn't collapse, 30M opening and at least 2.5x multiplier should be enough considering day and date. I'm hoping for Asia to deliver too, it's confirmed to release in China if i remember, let's hope it gets released at least a week before US, maybe it can make 30-40M, won't help profits but will add value to worldwide box office. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parasite Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 French early WOM seems great from previews, it debuts with a 4.4/5 audience score and 4.0/5 press on Allociné. Audience scores have been harsher lately since Allociné changed their algorithm to eliminate fake reviews / bots. 4.3s have been acting like 4.5s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Dune is going to be a monster in Euro-Russian continent and forget about bad WOM, this is the kind of movie this markets are crazy about. This is the event on par with LOTR and HP there. Also, Max or no Max (Canada gets HBO and Max content via Crave but not sure if it will carry Dune), it will blow up in Canadian theaters. WOM from TIFF is out of this world and 100% "see it on the biggest screen possible". Edited September 15, 2021 by Valonqar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale900 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Best first day in Paris in the pandemic era is coming in Paris. And BY FAR. 4500 tickets sold at 2 pm in 32 copies. 5-6M for the weekend? Or even more? Edited September 15, 2021 by vale900 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
