shang chi costs 150m and it looks great

I know, this is off topic and I'll just indulge this one msg on the subject here.

 

This gives a taste where the $165m went: https://www.creativebloq.com/features/dune-costume-design

They designed hundreds of costumes and produced over 1000. I know having ordered and made original design spacesuits it adds up quickly. Then Villeneuve insisted shooting in places like Jordan's Wadi Rum and using as much as possible real sets. He built giant detailed sets like Nolan in Interstellar. The actors loved it because they hate shooting in front of greenscreens like used a lot in MCU (not a criticism). Timothée Chalamet said aptly that he remembers twice shooting in front of greenscreen and the rest in a real desert or in these huge sets. Watching those behind the scenes videos of them we can understand where the money goes...

Congratulations to Dune actors but I think you explained to the wrong person. I understand where Dune's money went.

I am impressed by the way it's sold post social bump. Expected a bit of a drop but has just kept going.

The sad thing with DUNE is that if it cost $100 million to make instead of $165 million, a $40M-ish opening and $300M+ worldwide finish wouldn't even be in question as being, at the very least, pretty good.

 

Movies are too expensive now.

$35M opening is absolutely fine. The main market of film was Europe and it did well there. WW will easily be $330M+, for what was $300M target.

Dune in my last run was 115016/533833, $1367526. Should go for 130k+ unless late night walkups are bad. I think 13m is the floor and 13.5-14 is possible. Though @charlie Jatinder seems to think lower from the same MTC2 number so not sure. 

As we discussed was thinking $11.5-12M from 120K, 130K should be higher but ATP is low at $11.9. I thought it will be close to $13 at least.

 

Anyhow ~$12M seems likely from $1.55M i.e. 130K admits.

Charlie has been lowballing Dune all year. Even last night lol. I wouldn't be surprised but we'll see when those Deadline numbers come in

Spot on last night, don’t know what you’re talking about. And if the weekend is ~35 he will have been closer than most for a while.

I mean it probably would have gone down after the reaction hype died down, but it's still a wee bit too low for my taste.
