crazymoviekid Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I was told this was having a longer run starting Feb. 9th. Wonder if plans were changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Roark Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The number of people who discovered and loved Dune after release is pretty big. Instead of Part 1 that was an introduction to Herbert’s world Part 2 will be a full action war film with a love story at its core and a satisfying ending, I feel it will open north of $100M DOM and will double Part 1 gross WW by the end of its run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoviefan Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The numbers some are throwing out around here for this are like maybe pump the brakes a little. The meltdowns around here are going to be epic when it does somewhere between 55-75 OW. It would be great if it truly broke out the way some think it might but the set up for disappointment is here for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Train Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I would be happy with 50-60 OW for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I am a huge fan of the Herbert novels..at least the original trilogy...and loved the first movie, but I think some people here are being really too optimistic about how big it will open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it's harder to predict final total than OW since OW can be figured out from presales while final depends on legs and legs can't be accurately forcast numbers/holds/reception unseen, only wishcast. Luiz is a joke, though. Edited January 19 by Valonqar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention his studio bootlicking during the strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even trying to defend or agree with him (though dune2 over 100 ow is an outcome I would love to see!), just saying that his ban had nothing to do with insight, he was just an ass...

ThomasNicole Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I’m sure presales for Dune 2 will be insane, but it’ll probably be extremely frontloaded in this regard, like a mega franchise. The fans are very happy with it and they’re extremely loyal, they’ll buy strongly asap Expecting an explosive first day, lots of 130M projections but the OW will probably ended up being 85M-ish, which is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) I doubt it will match Oppenheimer's pre-sales pattern but think it's the best comp for this in regards to openining weekend (should be the most IMAX heavy film percentage wise since Oppenheimer and possibly the 2nd most post-pandemic).

cannastop Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Do we know which locations are getting it in IMAX 70mm film? So far I only see Regal Irvine Spectrum and Regal Opry Mills getting it. Not Mall of Georgia though... looks like single laser there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
