RRA Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I liked the movie and that art book comp makes sense and made me chuckle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been much funnier, warmer, and less slow too. On another note, no need to talk about if Dune is good or not. It's settled.

Valonqar Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I don't fret about boxoffice anymore. We are getting Part 2. It's going to increase. And then we can think of Messiah. All in all, very happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjusting to HBO Max and other factors compared to pre- or post-pandemic times, it's Batman Begins type of start so we should be more than happy of it.

Valonqar Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Batman begins is a really good comparison. And that led to TDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I don't care. Part 2 is coming. So whether Batman Begins is a good or bad comparison doesn't matter. You can't ruin my day, snarkies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Can this movie still manage $100 million, even with a 60+% drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, even if it can't reach 100M following its natural course, we can't forget this is a awards player too, and it will have some boost/re-release after Oscar nominations.

lorddemaxus Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 2nd time around, Bardem's performance here feels underrated. He just steals the show whenever he is on screen. And got applause at the end of this screening too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB had inf.adj. $525m WW & $210m production budget where as Dune $165. $410m for Dune would put the WW/budget ratio the same but there are other factors either way but this as a simple comparison. Very, very slim chance for a bump like with TDK but the idea is same. Make the real profit with Part 2 & Messiah. Anything over $500m for them in post-pandemic times would be a win for the studio.

The little time he had in Part 1 was just perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really happy he's playing the one character who'll get the biggest increase in screentime in part 2 (along with Chani). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
