Dune has 8 rating on imdb with over 700k votes. I think people deifintely liked it and wow the number of votes is insanely high

The Internet is the #1 place hard sci-fi like Dune would be adored though. Especially especially IMDB

It's funny cause those demos keep saying they have zero chemsitry. Maybe they are just jelly Tomdaya shippers but I'm seeing the zero chemsitry sentiment on Z and/or Timmy friendly spaces. Fauxmoi adores Z yet every time Dune is brought up they shit on Timdaya chemsitry. 🤷‍♂️

Well that’s part of my point… I think they hooked in a bunch of people with the first movie who expected something it absolutely wasn’t. Don’t think said audience will be back again

Dune was boring.

I’ve said before I think the pandemic boosted Dune not hurt it. It was the first real spectacle blockbuster release for the better part of a year and I think a ton of people checked it out who otherwise wouldn’t have (even if it was on streaming). 
 

It’s anecdotal but I have a whole ton of anecdotal evidence of people who aren’t normally into hard sci-fi who watched it and hated it (or were bored more aptly). I would be especially surprised if a lot of the female and/or gen z demo comes back, since the Zendaya and Chalamet of it all seemed to be a big hook for that audience. But seems like once they actually saw it, it was a hard no. 

 

It's gonna be that again this year, isn't it?

The same user (u/RelevationAnimations) who predicted The Flash and Aquaman to flop along with the Barbie and Mario to be mega hits is predicting Inside Out 2 to blow up. I REALLY REALLY hope this happens, it would be crazy if it did like $1.2B worldwide

 

And I also really hope the cameo-fest will make Deadpool 3 will have reception like GOTG 3 or NWH than MoM or Quantumania (the latter two had bad reception and then crashed with bad legs)

I mean, anyone who doesn't expect IO2 to be huge is delusional. Probably between that and Despicable Me 4 for highest grossing of the year

It's gonna do a billion. Though Disney+ might hurt it.

I mean we’ve still had big budget movies over the past several months, audiences just haven’t turned out big for any. 2021 had what, Shang Chi, before Dune for a spectacle release? And I don’t know if the big screen spectacle element was really as present there. 2020 like 1 or 2 post pandemic.

Wait is RelevationAnimations me?!? 
 

Except 1.2b is way too high for IO2. 1b if everything goes perfect. It will have to fight for its life to 300 DOM with WOM WOM WOM

I have said 150 m + and 450+ WW would be just fine  for Dune Part 2  Any thing past that would be gravy. I fear some around here are really setting themselves up for disappointment. 

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

Y’all Ive got good hopes for Dune Part 2, but 1 billion? Let’s not get crazy.

What boring these two months are gonna be.

 

Question: will we even have an 1B grosser this year?

Despicable Me 4, Gladiator 2, Furiosa could do it

Furiosa is going to make $1B after Fury Road couldn't even cross $400M?

Batman Begins didn’t either, it didn’t stop The Dark Knight. Not saying it will happen but who knows. If it’s even better than Fury Road it could happen. People will be starving for a theatrical event.

Then why do people care about it so much?

 

It's marketed well, and easily digestible. Why people care more about the RT % rather than the average rating.
