The Avatar fans didn't come back to gloat when Avatar reclaimed the biggest movie after the latest re-release?

Every time we mention that the title went between Avatar and Endgame I imagine Iger cleaning his tears with a big fat stack of money.

Iron Jimbo would’ve if he was still with us…

Whatever happened to that guy?

[Eric Atreides]

 

Damn straight. Stephen McKinley Henderson is the best "oh, its that guy" actor working today.

Does this movie have fan besides me?

I had Dune earlier pegged around 17-18,so similar to DL

Should be good for a $35M weekend. Won't hit $40M, unfortunately.

[Gavin Feng]

$17~18M seems a really strong number, right? Black Runner 2049 was around $12M incl $4M from previews.

[Legion Again]

So 11.9-12.9, as expected from from mtc

[Legion Again]

Sat bump is the huge variable here of course. We’ll see what Sat PS look like. I wouldn’t be outright shocked by:

5.1

12

11.6

6.8

 

35.5

 

Or by:

5.1

13

14.4

9

 

41.5

I wasn't expecting Dune to crack even 25M in normal times, so this opening is a win in my book. Without HBO max, this would have done 55M+ 

WB really fucked up this year. Some of their biggest movies had potential, but they took it away with HBO max day & date nonsense.

Dune got A- , so that's pretty good

But the value the movie provided to HBO Max is greater than zero, and it helps set up the prequel series Dune: The Sisterhood, which HBO ordered 10 episodes of with Villeneuve directing the first episode. And that will hopefully help keep the franchise relevant while they're filming the sequel.

Bond will have a lighter Friday increase but probably pull back ahead for the rest of the weekend.

[charlie Jatinder]

Awful FRI for holdovers. Will see if I get another shot at numbers.

MTC1 is over indexing for Dune. I thought it would be higher based on comps with Bond.

Will Bond even reach 140m? Just bad

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

370k Friday for French Dispatch?
 

Pretty good. He has loyal fanbase. Only 50 theaters, too. Tammy Faye was in 450 theaters and did 650k. Card Counter opened to 422k on Friday in 580 theaters.

 

It obviously will fall behind Budapest which opened to 260.4k Friday in 4 theaters but this has weaker reviews and pandemic
