Phenomenal. Wonderful. Lovely. 110% my shit and then some. Wesley does it again!

I love to hear it!

Anyways, while I know LOL Deadline and all that, but if Dune seriously opens this low, then Jason Kilar is going to Hell...and I can't wait to meet him there. 😈

I don't think it's likely, I would just want to see the chaos because I'm a bad person.

Once again, Deadline doesn't know how to extrapolate Fridays into the weekend.

 

My audience this afternoon enjoyed the film for the most part, but there were a few walkouts in the second half.

A live action Avatar movie would do better than a James Cameron Avatar sequel in 2022.

Especially when it's never been done before

I noticed people walking out as well. I rarely see that these days. I really don’t think it was that bad to make you leave. For heaven sake, people sit trough F9, and that really speaks volumes.

 

Over the last 5 years I walked out from “Ghost in the Shell” and both F8 and F9. And I really tried not to be that person.

 

Idk, be prepared for “Dune” to also be front loaded. It may not reach 100 million $, but we’ll definitely get Part 2. I think WB is just being dramatic.

If you disliked F8 enough to walk out of the theater without finishing the movie, what on earth possessed you to pay to see the next one?

[Menor the Destroyer]

92% verified audience score, Cinemascore will be A or A-, I don't see any evidence of bad WOM. Sure, it may be frontloaded, but that will be more due to fan heaviness and streaming release than any bad reaction to the film.

I literally thought the same thing while reading that post.

Can I be honest? Just wanted to see Charlize Theron 👀

Next time just watch Atomic Blonde or Fury Road on 4K Blu Ray.

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

if i went to F9 just for charlize and i saw the simple jack haircut they gave her in that one i'd have walked out too.

40-45 mil OW likely means 100 mil dom, over 300 mil WW. Sequel guaranteed. 

 

Deadline isn't always this dumb. Perhaps they're rooting for the movie and want to set low expectations. 

[tonytr87]

Oh, and the movie is amazing. You watch something like this and you wonder why some of Marvel's more talented directors aren't allowed to make something look this good or this expensive. The effects are photo-real (or as close as you can get) for the most part. 

 

Maybe it's just Denis. After Arrival and BR2049 and now this, it's clear he can work wonders with any budget.

Look man, RON’S GONE WRONG tickets aren’t easy to come by. When you find an open seat you take it, no matter what other movie you might be seeing at the time.
