Dune - 37
Ron's Gone Wrong - flop

The presale discussion on BOT is encouraging for Dune but I think it'll have a good Thursday and Friday and then fall due to rush/streaming

I saw Amazon is streaming Hotel Transylvania in January...? What the fuck? Lol this would've been the perfect weekend to release it. Yeesh.

I'm gonna stick with flop for Dune. Pre sales are a fanboy thing.

The cast is increasing interest in younger audiences, Chalamet and Zendaya are going to get the Tumblr crowd out.

Dune - 50m. Its PS is well ahead of Bond and even if it craters like Bond, it will have good OW. There is a must watch on big screen element to this apart from fanboys and attraction to young audience(due to Chalamet/Zendaya). Trailer at Dolby looked fantastic.

As you mentioned earlier it's PS heavy movie so better numbers around that didn't inspire confidence. I'll up me predictions to $40m based on Keyser's intel.

I voted over but really have no idea. If Halloween can get $50M while on Peacock then there is hope for a high opening here. Yet, I assume many more people already have HBO Max and will therefore just watch it there on their first conveinance. I really wanna see Dune in theaters, but won't have a chance until Sunday at the earliest. Can I, and many others in the same situation wait or will we just take the simple way out?

I'll predict $16M for Thursday and Friday, but where it goes from there is a mystery.

I still think Blade runner numbers would be great for this

I wonder what will be number 1 on the 29-31? Dune will see a big drop but will it be enough that Last Night in Soho can have a week at number one? Will Halloween Kills have an amazing hold and take back number one? Will Antlers surprise?

I don't know, Last Night in Soho despite Wright looks like it might not even open to 5 million. I think it's still too early for a non mainstream film to break out, and Halloween weekend is typically a dead zone, especially with it falling on the weekend. Bond, Halloween, and Dune will probably all be very close to each other that weekend, unless Dune massively over performs.

Probably won't have anything over $20m that weekend. Don't see Last Night in Soho doing over $10m tbh. If Dune manages to open around $40m then a big drop would probably have it end up being less than $15m, and that may be enough for #1? I think Halloween is gonna plummet this weekend and it won't have enough to be over $15m that weekend but we'll see.

Dune's PS has dropped precipitously. If it does not amp up, we will have another disappointing OW. To me after its start, anything below 40m would be a disappointment. But that wont be a shocker at this point.

Post Re: October 22-24 predictions
Dune looks good on paper but older audiences are not showing up to the theater in droves. Zendaya and Timothy also haven't anchored a tentpole on their own. Doesn't guarantee a must see factor. The simultaneous release also has shown WB with a lineup of disappointments.

The French Dispatch is also opening the same weekend! Any Timothy fans rushing out will split anyhow where I could see some of his fans see that first before Dune.

Anything over $30M is a win IMO for Dune. I think following 3 $50M+ OW's just has risen expectations too high already.

That opens in like 50 theaters. Dune will be more widely available to fans.

Because of HBOMax, I'm sorry to sound like a hater but Dune will open only in the mid to high 30s based on low pre-sales. My final prediction right now is $38M. I hope for more for it since it looks awesome.

Even before COVID, it probably would have grossed around $80M domestically. No offense, but BR2049 had a lot more going for it. Would you agree with me on that?

Post Re: October 22-24 predictions
Agreed on $80m prediction, I think the appeal for this franchise is very niche. BR2049 had Ford reprising his role and cult following with fans asking for a sequel. Dune has known but unproven stars with only visuals to go around which does not always guarantee a big total. The action in trailers was never exciting as well (because its a very small part of the movie).

It feels like there is so much interest in this to me lol. If this opens to less than 35m, WB really f'ed this up

If this does well I will be happy to see a launching pad for Chalamet since there is a need for a new prettyboy A lister type of guy
