I don't know shit about Dune -- never read the books or saw the David Lynch movie -- and I'm excited for this movie. I'll go see anything Denis Villeneuve directs.

But man, it have a really strong possibility of being a huge bomb at the B.O. I would love to be proven wrong though.

It depends a lot on how open the world will be at the time.

Also there are far more nerds out there now who actually know and love the concepts of Dune compared to any other time. It looks expensive though which could mean even a 150 million worldwide would be a disaster.

Edit - Google tells me 160 mil was the budget which means anything lower than 300 mil worldwide would be disappointing.

Totally agree. They're planning for more, but I'm worried they won't get made. I worry it'll do worse than Blade Runner 2049 did simply because of various factors. I'm for sure going to the theaters for it still.

I don't think it will bomb, but I don't think it will be a smash hit.

It looks like it needs more color & brightness. I dont want a repeat of Solo.

if it wasn't for covid, I could see it doing well (epic sci-fi, directed by one of the current most respected directors, has Jason Momoa and Bautista, etc.), but with the way things are, including the delta variant of covid, idk.

It depends on word of mouth and if it gets good reviews, because while Dune is revolutionary for being the grandfather of Sci Fi stories... it's not a well known name most people will know about like Star Wars or Star Trek. So it will definately need good reviews to stand any chance on being a "success", if it's average or mediocre you can have a potential bomb.

Yeah, I wouldn't get my hopes up that it will be a huge hit. I really enjoyed BR2049, but the fact that he was given another huge sci-fi blockbuster after that failed so hard at the box office is surprising. Definitely a talented guy, but I'm worried that it won't have enough mass appeal.
