⊃∪∩⪽ Part II | March 1, 2024 | Reactions drop February 15, reviews February 21 | Zendaya for our next C-3P0

[PrinceRico]

This was a good move for WB. They can now focus on there Oscar players The Color Purple and Barbie leave Wonka for Dune for commercial play

This is going to bomb spectacularly without at least a holiday boost (not to mention Oscar buzz from that time of year), mark my words. 100% on board under DOM and OS from part 1.

Part 1 had day and date release in the US…at the very least I doubt it’ll go down domestically

[reddevil19]

I really don't expect a massive OS increase, but it is obviously going to grow significantly domestically since day-and-date hit it and overall COVID reticence. I can't see it doing less than 200 domestic...

Moved??!! this?!

 

JUST FUCKING PAY YOUR ACTORS ALREADY AND END THIS FUCKING STRIKE!!!!!!

No yeah, it’s a shitty image. But at least we have evidence from the first movie that this is just a shitty image, not actual evidence that the movie is going to look like crap

These magazine covers are almost always shitty. Lol

It is photoshop hell.

Not that it matters, but Pugh in the other photo..not the magazine cover.. is pretty much what Princess Irulan is supposed to look like.

The move really sucks.

 

Guess this means Dune fans can just reread the first book again.

It's not like we old school Dune fans don't know what is going to happen......

Actually, I for those who have not read the novel and are angry at being forced to wait till March, I would suggest Read the Freaking Book. Yes, the movie was really good, but the book is even better.

Move this movie up to President's Day or have it to be the summer kickoff when Deadpool 3 gets delayed.

Under 400? In post COVID? I'm not sure how that's even possible unless the movie is just bad.

Agree 100%. The last one didn’t have a Holiday boost and still made $108M DOM, even with releasing simultaneously on HBO Max.

 

This movie will make at least $150M DOM and will likely do better OS as well. Pretty sure its OS number was top 5 for Hollywood movies in 2021, and most of that happened during renewed Covid scares.

[excel1]

A push back to December 2024 seems long time. But this would be THE event film of the holiday season. It could challenge $1b global and cement TC and Dune elite series leading into part 3.

 

Just going to put that out there.

I maintain what I’ve said about covid helping the first if anything. Got to be one of the first spectacle movies in the theaters when people were willing to start going back. Dune by nature is extremely niche, and the movie was not accessible. I think people are kidding themselves that the GA has big interest, and the gap hurts things more since the first ends with the intent that part 2 is right around the corner.
