That's a possibility. SC would be in its second week on Sep 17 and third on Sep 24 if Dune's to move in either slot domestically. I don't know if it ever happened that a movie opened overseas a full month ahead of domestic release. usually a week tops but a month? 

 

Also, it would be shown at the festivals by Sep 17 so buzz would be hot.

Ah, OK. So we'll see. F9 obviously wasn't hurt by it but it didn't have HBO Max either. Any idea how big/small is Dune book overseas? Read somewhere that it wasn't as big/known as LOTR for example.

 

 

It's HUGE in the UK. HUGE. Bigger than LOTR and The Hobbit. Closer to Agatha Christie in terms of notoriety. Not as big as Potter but that's understandable.

Are all these countries listed the ones where HBO Max does not exist?

 

Entirely possible that they launch it early so that HBO Max doesn't eat into its grosses there and then releasing in October for the rest of us

F9 was released a month early only in some Asian markets though. Dune, however, would be released early all over Europe. I don't think this will do big numbers in China (if they don't care about Star Wars then they won't care about an older, more obscure version of Star Wars) so by the time it releases in NA we should already have a good idea what its international total will be.

This is likely the reasoning. A month-long head start is still pretty unusual though.

HBO Max exists in the Latin America countries, but it releases on HBO Max 35 days after the September 17 theatrical release which would be... October 22nd.

Battleship did it. It opened before The Avengers everywhere except in America, where it opened a full month after that.

I've already accepted the fact that this wont fulfill its potential at the BO. WB have already written their year off with this HBOmax strategy and Dune will be lucky to make more than 30m+ on OW. Making more than The Suicide Squad will be seen as win at this point.

hmmmmm

 

 

Colligan, who spent years as a studio executive before joining Imax, is confident about the slate of movies scheduled to arrive in the fall and winter months. She’s particularly excited about “Dune” (“An unbelievable visual achievement,” she says) and “Top Gun: Maverick” (“It’s like being on an amusement park ride with Tom Cruise”).
