Dune will be bigger in Europe and the like cause sci-fi like that tends to do better there anyways. International heavy film.

 

Speaking of which. Whoever brought up Europe not liking a lot of Hollywood output lately, surely this year changes that with MI, Oppenheimer, and Dune right

People complaining about the score being loud make me wanna see the movie. I loved Ludwig Göransson's music for Turning Red so of course I'd like more of his stuff.

After listening to the Oppenheimer soundtrack, I will say Ludwig is more than deserving of a second Oscar nom (should have been nominated again for BP 2 as well imo). And I will always love the fact that it was Coogler and his Creed/BP movies who put Ludwig on Nolan and everyone else's radar. Learning that Nolan even attended the Creed premiere/afterparty at Coogler's request was too cool. Nolan has many great qualities as a filmmaker and his unpretentious nature is one of them.

Unless Zimmer wins again for Dune which could absolutely happen

Dune 2, if it doesn't move, could just be viewed as more of the same. So I can see Oppenheimer beating it in a lot of techs like Score, Cinematography, Sound, Film Editing

[MovieMan89]

Opp is a bizarre comp to bring up for Dune. For starters, when Nolan hits, you can be sure it will be mainstream appealing. Opp is him hitting in a way he arguably hasn't since Inception. Also, Opp has tons of older audience interest that doesn’t exist for Dune. And same for even younger thanks to Barben.

Skew internationally, sure. But there's no way this film would've been a 27:73 in normal times, let's be real.

I agree to an extent, Dune 2 is either going to be a Two Towers or a Return of the King at the Academy. Thinking maybe more Two Towers.

 

Dune Messiah feels like it could be a Return of the King though.

Listening to “Destroyer Of Worlds” at the gym rn and getting the nastiest pump humanly imaginable. Ludwig got the fucking sauce

[Jonwo]

Dune did really well internationally, it probably did help that WB released it early to avoid NTTD although it was no slouch in the UK despite Bond dominating.

Summer being May-August? 

 

mk so it's first weekend of May to first weekend of September, Haunted Mansion, TMNT, Meg 2, Gran Turismo, Maybe Last Voyage of the demeter, maybe strays and blue beetle, then Equalizer. So that's 8 that'd say have a good chance, still well below but it does get them to 24. That said August 2014 was pretty insane being the #2 August and only losing to 2016 by like 1mil.

 

I'm just thinking 5.

 

HAUNTED MANSION

TMNT: MUTANT MAYHEM

MEG: THE TRENCH

BLUE BEETLE

THE EQUALIZER III

 

Or also maybe the horror TALK TO ME?

I mean I don't disagree. Just saying he deserves a nom at the very least.

I have no interest in the Dune movies, even though I'm theoretically right in the sweet spot of their target demographic.

Oppenheimer soundtrack is incredible. Ludwig somehow managed to turn quantum mechanics and Oppys mind into music.

Same here. I mean I dig it. But I have no intention of watching that at a movie theater. I will eventually watch at home like I did with the first.

I still haven't watched the first one, even though I use HBO Max more than any streaming service and have seen Dune pop up constantly as a recommended movie in the app. Lol
