The Twitter hype is strong with this one.

Because the social media embargo lifted first. Otherwise it would be through all media.

Based on presales and early tracking, “Dune: Part Two” will deliver a much-needed box office jolt. The sci-fi epic is expected to collect at least $60 million to $80 million in its domestic debut. It would be the first movie to open above $50 million since last October’s Blumhouse thriller “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” Some are bullish that ticket sales for “Dune 2” could even approach the $90 million mark in its first weekend, not that the film needs to hit those heights to be considered a success.

 

The first movie, starring Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, Zendaya and Jason Momoa, opened to $41 million while appearing simultaneously on HBO Max. It cost $165 million and ended its box office run with $402 million, one of the only financial wins from the studio’s COVID-era hybrid release strategy. The sequel reportedly cost $190 million, so analysts believe it would be a commercial winner if it replicates the results of the original “Dune.”

 

“Assuming that audiences and critics like it, this is going to have an outstanding opening,” says David A. Gross of movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. “The first film was slowed by the pandemic and simultaneous availability on streaming.”

Not a worry. This film should have a big enough box office that the WB exec team will finally be doing this:

I don’t know why they would do a non-spoiler version of a review. The way things play out should not be a surprise to anyone due to the Analog Sci-Fi short stories to novels to movie to TV show by now.

Because otherwise members of the general audience not familiar with the books or previous movie or TV mini series may complain the reviewer spoiled the movie for them.
