Frank Herbert's DUNE PART 2 from Legendary Pictures (11/17/23) 6 6

Quote

Warner Bros/Legendary Entertainment’s Dune: Part Two held strongly in its sophomore session at the international box office, adding $81M to handily cross the $200M overseas milestone, and reaching $367.5M globally.

 

Turning back to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, the sci-fi epic added $81M from 72 international markets, just a 36% drop in the holdovers. The overseas cume is now $210.5M, putting global on its way to the four-century mark, currently with $367.5M through Sunday.

 

In like-for-like markets and using today’s exchange rates, the film is tracking 64% ahead of 2021’s Dune, 43% higher than Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, 36% over Godzilla Vs Kong, 3% above M:I7 and roughly on par with The Batman.

Just got back and wanted to see what y'all said...

 

I very much enjoyed it.  It surpassed the David Lynch version in every way imaginable from casting, to cinematography, to camera shots and editing.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and was disappointed that I have to wait three years for the next part.  

I went to see it in the theater because I felt I dropped the ball by not seeing Oppenheimer in the theater.  I had some time on a Sunday night where I could block off four hours to go see this film from the point of leaving my house to the point of return and I knew that time would not come to me again for awhile. 

I would recommend it.

This movie was excellent!

Saw this in 70mm Imax last night at 10pm in SF. Drove 3 hours each way. Fog and rain on the way back.
The Metreon 16 is a great theater, amazing visuals with chair shaking sound. Really strong movie although I do wish the 3rd act was a little longer.

Keeping fingers crossed there will be an extended version of some sort, not to mention an Imax version with the 1.43:1 ratio (of both movies).

The gladiator scene was especially awesome! Needless to say huge thumbs up.

My brother made a humorous observation comparing these Dune films to David Lynch's 1984 adaptation, which was basically that the part of the story Dennis Villeneuve took 2 1/2 hours to tell in this film David Lynch crammed into about 24 minutes.

Waiting for the punchline

I’m rooting for this movie to do well enough so that it can “Cody Rhodes”.

Went with @Artboy99 to the movie on Friday. While it was a very good film, I liked the pacing and flow of the first film better. This one seemed a bit disjointed at times. 

My only disappointment is that it ended at the point that it did. I am not sure how they are going to cram the next book into one film.

watched it last night, did not go to the big screen to see it. opted for dolby cinema because i had read the clarity and sound would be amazing compared to my local imax (not true imax)

i usually sit all the way in the back because the sound shakes the seats

this did not disappoint

amazing sound, visuals, i thought the first hour was great, 2nd hour slowed a bit and the final act was fantastic

I related to Bardems character as with each moment, his joy and surprise were the same as mine

glad these threads pushed me to watch the first and as a result this one

The next book in actual length is less then half of the first book.

I actually saw this movie opening weekend on a Saturday and really liked it.  I liked it so much, I went back and watched Dune: Part one again...for the 4th time.   I sure hope they make a Part 3 and film it the same way. 
This was just an awesome movie!

I didn't think it was showing in 3-D, but regardless:  this definitely NEEDS to be seen in either IMAX or Dolby Digital.  

I would be shocked if you regretted the decision to spend the money to see this in a premium theatre.  I saw it twice this weekend and have a ticket for next Sunday.  I had only planned on seeing it once this Friday and go again next weekend but waken (WTH I didn't type "waken", my spelling isn't THAT bad) up Saturday and had to see it again.

I saw it on Dolby Digital. It wasn't on at the IMAX theatre.   I plan on going back and watch it again in the theatre.   Just a great movie IMO.  I will own this movie when it becomes available.
