It's called Prophecy now...I was blown away by Part 1 and watched it like 5 times.
Part 2 was so meh. It was slow at parts and rushed since Paul appeared in the South.
It wasn’t bad, but I don’t feel the urge to watch it a second time soon.
It definitely needed more worldbuilding. I liked the scenes, where they showed more of House of Harkonnen and Corrino. I hope Sisterhood will show more of the world and lore
World-wide BO is now over $400M. But the international numbers haven't been updated. Once those are in, I suspect the current total will surpass Part 1.
Makes sense. It opened in a quite a few more new countries this week, including Australia and Japan. It's doing great!
Is it just 60% for the opening weekend domestically? I thought they were giving the distributor like a 65-80% in the first week or something.Ah, and with that $100M marketing budget revealed, I can do some more accurate MATH. Using averages for studio cuts:
60% domestic week 1: $66,616,600
55% domestic week 2: $35,854,637
50% domestic week 3+: $14,550,000
22.5% China: $4,427,040
40% other International: $107,889,705
Total estimated profit so far: $229,337,982
$190M production budget has been fully recouped and needs about $60M for the marketing budget / P&A. This means that, yes, this movie is going to be making money in theaters. Plus, make extra money with digital, video, streaming, merch deals, etc.
Spice, flowing, and all that.
The above breakdown is fairly consistent across all movies. P&A being lower than the production budget is pretty good. For tentpole summer movies, it can be as much as the entire production budget. It's how you get movies with a $250M production budget that somehow need a billion to break even.
Movie math is insane.
While 60% is the average, studios like Disney have in the past enforced higher percentages. It's why I ended up getting another 10-15 minute round of advertisements after the break in the middle of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (true story). Theaters weren't getting enough of the pie and it really pissed them off.Is it just 60% for the opening weekend domestically?

And he's using my gif!
Wait a minute, Istoleborrowed the gif in my avvy from him. Is that also one of yours? I can never tell anymore.
Haha, you mean from an official trailer, right?Nah not mine, I don't usually make gifs from cams.
I'd say it's still highly relevant. I don't view them as one movie.That just doesn't matter in the case of Dune, IMO. Part One is half of a movie. It is now a totally and utterly irrelevant issue with both parts existing.
Just release the deleted scenes. We don't need an "extended cut" if Villenueve is happy with the films as released.
