It's gonna have to make a lot world-wide to make a serious profit, I'd imagine. 

I wonder if WB, Sony or Alcon are expecting to be profitable, I think they'll be happy if it breaks even WW, the profits will come from home entertainment, streaming and TV rights.

This is doing $50M+ OW. And, probably something like $175M+ DOM. Just my two cents. People are ready. They want it. It will play better than Mad Max.

The trailers don't get the same reaction as Mad Max though. Buzz isn't as high either.

Less crowded though. It can dominate October as the big dog of the month, and it's probably not as niche as Mad Max was. It might be a slow burn, but this will probably appeal to more genre fans than Mad Max did just because it's more digestible.

I'm sure they were expecting a write-off. The fact that profits split between three companies isn't exactly a great thing anyway. I'm sure they'll make more of their profits with other media.

Mendelson is incompetent idiot.

He's a good guy. Take a chill pill.

[La Binoche]

I knew the reviews wouldn't be THAT good. Denis' movies tend to be a bit on the slow side and his pacing coupled with a 2hr 40min run time was bound to create problems.

Interesting. So you've already seen the movie for yourself and thus can call it a five-star masterpiece? 

 

No? Chill pill for you too.

If the choices are Dune, Cleo or Bond next for him then only one of those is an especially interesting option.

My thoughts exactly. This is higher than front runner best picture nominees at the moment. Not that good. Not sure what you mean

I hope the critics aren't exaggerating with these 5 star reviews. They gave the same to Dunkirk, calling it a masterpiece, and it was far from it. jmo

People will never agree on what's masterpiece. At the end of the day, it's just an opinion by a group whose opinion has some weight but is an opinion nonetheless. Like Best Picture. It's 6000+ people deciding what's the best not 6 billion. 

 

That said, critics have been throwing the word masterpiece a lot this year so no wonder it's devalued. 

[The Futurist]

Why people always fail to mention Harrison Ford is the most influential actor of the last 40 years is beyond me.

Cleo because his take on Cleo would be interesting. Dune is basically what he has done with BR2049 (action philosophy) and Bond is Bond, not much room for doing something different.

I don't wanna see a cleo in his clinical style tbh. That oughta be some high camp shit. Dune and Blade Runner aren't even kinda similar stories. Action philosophy lmao.

I think it could go over 200M dom. Over 50M OW is given and WOM should be fantastic. Also, I'm not buying that it won't play well with GA.
