Man… a friend of mine got an early for this film… and… it was bad. I think $10M is quite generous.
You'll be fine, not like you'll have crazy box office fans trolling in this thread just cause "their movie" bombed.

Even Spectre did more in the UK than Endgame so that's not surprising but it's encouraging. The thirst is real.
Is this good or above expectations. I went to the film in The Netherlands yesterday and I hope the film does well enough to get a sequel greenlit.

It's doing really well overseas under the circumstances. I think domestic + Max numbers will determine whether it gets a sequel though.
Let's hope Americans love this type of sci-fi more than Blade Runner. I loved the film and it would be such a shame to not see the whole story on the big screen.
I'd say worldwide will determine it, and right now it's a 350 at bare minimum, upwards of 400 possible. Plus Max numbers, plus awards potential.
Saw that Dear Evan Hansen got the IMAX treatment while checking local showtimes just now. Was not expecting that.

$350m plus good Max numbers I think would be a good enough outcome that they could greenlight a sequel. $350m plus abysmal Max numbers I would not be as confident.

If it's around $350m-$400m worldwide I don't know if it'll recoup everything but if it has good Max numbers and is big at the Oscars it might get a sequel anyway.
Yeah I think the rose of streaming changes the game a bit. If dune can pull 350-400 million WW and also perform decently HBO max that's a pretty solid result.
Also I think prestige movies have an even greater place now when it comes to selling streaming services.

Agreed. Dune has the potential to be a franchise that Warners can adapt in a multitude of ways/mediums for HBO Max. I for sure think it's getting a sequel. I'm also more bullish on its BO performance than most :)

Dune is one of those franchises primed to being mined in different mediums. I'm watching it on IMAX even though I have HBO Max.
Higher than Cats' Thursday, so that's a small victory.

People are better off seeing Shang-Chi again than Evan Hansen haha
Wake me up when we get to next weekend. That's when the real box office chaos occurs. We all knew this result was coming.
Especially since last week when there has been a 1080p copy around for those who only wanted to watch ironically. Lot of clips shared on Twitter :p

Yeah it would need really good legs over the next few days

Yeah, I'm not willing to make that bet without at least seeing a trailer for Mario. Could go either way.
Although I'm still not convinced everyone stays in their release date until either plans are reaffirmed that quarter or things get better than they are now.

Y'all. Sony is using fan tweets in promos (and used the same source twice). 17% RT. My Dune outgrossing this take doesn't seem that outlandish anymore...
When do reviews come out? I guess they can't use review quotes if there are no reviews yet.
but yes, it's going to be awful
I do keep seeing "root for the underdog" in Venom promos online.
Like I've said time and again, Dune won't do well at all
Oops I posted it again
Wait nm I never said that

I'm not going to believe Venom is in trouble until we get closer to the end of next week and tracking really kicks in.
But man, the fallout at Sony if Venom 2 goes wrong.
