I see one person on there complaining and all they're really saying is that it won't be in the top 3 which doesn't even seem to be a popular sentiment anyway.

Juliet Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hard to know how this will do. It's well publicised. They want us to think Dune 2 is an event but Dune 1 got lost in Covid. It's like the industry is willing this film to success. Maybe Chalamet really is the IT boy though. He carried Wonka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Some anonymous Hollywood executives apparently believe this could be a billion dollar film, but then again, they were also apparently convinced The Flash would be a huge hit, so who knows? 42 minutes ago, Juliet said: Hard to know how this will do.

Valonqar Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Yeah after The Flash testing better than TDK or best ever for WB I don't believe insider projections. For boxoffice and awards (looking at you Kevin "Eternals Will Win Best Picture" Feige). But fingers crosssed ofc! I want Dune to pull a ROTK and win Picture too.

Well, the good news is that its competition will likely be less stiff compared to if it had come out in 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are getting a little too excited on the potential of this and will be disappointed if it does not break out huge. 150-175 DOM and 475-500+ WW would be just fine. Anything more would be gravy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced Joker 2 will be much an Oscar contender. I think the reason the first one got as much love from the Academy as it did was because it sold itself as something radically different, and many felt Joaquin Phoenix was overdue for an Oscar win.

Merkel Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I've said this before many times in this thread, but 500 WW would be a great result for this. Anything significantly over that would be fantastic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Really don’t know why any executive would think this will suddenly become a billion grosser. Part I was popular but it’s not a real four-quadrant crowd pleaser The realistic goal here is to more than double Part I DOM (very doable due to lack of competition + no day and date), and have some grow OS. Expecting 600M-ish for this, which is great considering the budget was similar or lower than the previous movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I feel there's more people "concerned" that this is being overpredicted than it actually being overpredicted. Sure some suit threw out that it 'll make a billion which means nothing, some people might hope it 'll blow up but there's also outliers on the other side that think it 'll barely increase for reasons. Most realistic expectations are still that it'll have a sizable growth DOM and a smaller growth OS since it released early in many big markets and wasn't as affected by the day-and-date release there.

ChipDerby Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I think this being delayed may actually work out in its favor. It's a new year, things struggled in the fall/winter 2023, and Wonka kinda owned Christmas. All signs point to that only helping this out.

Don't know what "prores" actually means but here you can find downloadable versions with much better picture quality than on youtube. Trailer 8 should be the official 3rd trailer.
