It was a typo indeed. The Numbers has corrected it.

Nice. So a 42% increase on Saturday from the true Friday number. That's a hell of a Saturday jump!

I’m seeing Gitesh and ERC saying the actual was  82,505,391.

 

 

Yeah, that would make more sense. Think maybe Numbers got it wrong 

[Mojoguy]

$82M OW REACHED! VICTORY!

[ThomasNicole]

7.25M MON (according to you know who) 

 

In line with The Batman, maybe even slightly better 

[Firepower]

Good start after all. Now it's up to legs to not screw it.

[Daxtreme]

Dune Opening Weekend: $82,505,391 (100.0% of total gross)
Oppenheimer Opening Weekend: $82,455,420 (25.1% of total gross)

 

Weird that it's so close. I approve of this $50,029 difference

How dare you

 

 

 

 

(I actually feel Del Toro's style has been influencing Hollywood a lot since Pan's Labyrinth, but this is just a feeling pulled right out of you know where, so don't you ask me about it because I have zero answers for you)

Real. Three Billboards should have won Original Screenplay and Picture, and it's a shame Dunkirk was never a contender in Director and Picture.

[dallas]

So it opened higher than Oppenheimer? Nice. Stellar IM too which should bode well for legs. 

 

I think The Batman is the best comparison for trajectory, as both opened in early March with similar runtimes and receptions.

$45M second weekend?

Agreed!

 

If it follows The Batman path, Dune will get around 40M next weekend.

 

The Batman drop 50% in its second weekend.

Might sound dumb as fuck but I think a good comp for this is Joker * 0.85

[MovieMan89]

Well I guess we know the cap at this point on OW for the modern adult blockbuster (esp male skewing) 

 

And by adult I don’t mean R rated like certain CBMs, I mean mainly over 30

Wow Jat is saying possible $275M finish 

 

That's a 3.4x multiplier; more than ATSV which was an animation and had summer legs...

 

If $275M does happen, then Dune is doing well over $700M WW

Dune isn't a comic book movie

If this finishes at $275M domestic (ish) then we ALL need to praise @keysersoze123 who said $80M OW and $275M total before tickets even went on sale; he was COMPLETELY correct
