I think it is very important to remind everyone that aquaman2 was a Wednesday opener whereas dune 2 is a Friday opener which naturally give latter the advantage when come to presale.

How is the opening relative to expectations? Hadn't kept up with the pre-release tracking OS.

Good question. At first glance to me it seems a little underwhelming considering it is not that much more than its DOM debut while being day and date in most of the important markets except China and Japan i think and the fact Dune Part 1's OS gross was 3-times its DOM haul. Sure, it had to deal with a simultaneous release on HBO Max only in America and the sequel is losing Russia as a market but still.

The day-and-date on HBO Max for the first movie had a much bigger impact in the USA than in most of the world.

 

In most countries, HBO wasn't even available. So watching in theaters remained the only option (or the other option that shall not be named)

 

In that context, it seems pretty obvious how not having a day-and-date release on HBO for the 2nd movie would have a much bigger impact in the US than in other countries

Missing a potential $10M in Russia definitely hurts. Add that plus China and Japan if they debuted same time as everyone else and we would have been looking at $135M+

Wonder if second OS weekend can be bigger than first due to China.

Definitely not, isn't it supposed to open with 30M? 

[Elessar]

My quick and dirty prediction based on the opening would be 600m - 650m worldwide. Unless China or legs surprises, then it could do more.

I could see like $95M at the high end ($65M + $30M China).
