Warner Bros/Legendary’s Dune is off to an epic start at the box office in France. The Denis Villeneuve-directed adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic world-building 1965 novel grossed $1.55M in its first day on Wednesday (including Tuesday night previews). This is the market’s fourth best launch day of all time for the month of September.

 

The Wednesday haul also makes it the best Day One for Villeneuve ever in France. Total admissions were 181,316 — grosses were pumped up by overperforming premium formats. The first 2pm screenings in Paris on Wednesday set a new benchmark for the pandemic.

Variety's Owen Glieberman says Dune is "the most visionary cologne commercial that Ridley Scott never made."

Or Denis Villenueve just made a 2 1/2 hour long Chanel no. 5 commercial.

As I’m looking forward to watching The  Eternals and also think that Villenueve’s films are great, this is extremely promising for both.

That like Chanel, perhaps it has sophistication. Or pretentiousness.

For now, je ne sais quoi.

I think I'm starting to get tired of Timothay Chalamar's perfume commercial emo face.

Owen Glieberman of Variety: "...the cinematic style is “Lawrence of Arabia” meets “Triumph of the Will” meets the most visionary cologne commercial that Ridley Scott never made."

That Jerry Lewis makes a cameo?

[@therealsilvermane]

Also from Owen Glieberman of Variety: “Dune” is a movie that earns five stars for world-building and about two-and-a-half for storytelling."

That's kind of what I thought of Blade Runner 2049, but maybe even less for the storytelling. Arrival had a far better story, probably cause it's based on a single novel with a beginning middle and end.
