557 Followers 111 Following A big fan of movies, TV, books and all things pop culture. Demented sense of humor.Dune Part 2 earned over $300 million more than Part 1. The first film was released in 2021, at the height of the pandemic, where WBD made the decision to release the film day to date on streaming to accommodate viewers who weren't comfortable watching it in the theater. I'm so…
#Dune2 has done it! It broke $700M at global #boxoffice this wknd! Latest update: Domestic: $2M/$279.7M Intl: $3M/$424.5M Worldwide: $5M/$704.3M Top intl mkts: UK $49.3M, China $48.8M, France $43.1M & Germany $40.4M. Stunning $145M (21% of total) is from IMAX scrns! #Dune

Day 2 of opening Bungalow. Gratitude & Love. Our reservations for next 2 weeks are Sold Out. However we are still taking limited walk-ins on first come first serve basis. We are trying our best to accommodate everyone, so please bear with us. #JaiHo #IndianCuisine
@GiteshPandya @TheVikasKhanna I've been passing by it everyday for the last few months... Excited to check it out! I own Conor's Goat around the block, just opened recently too!
dune dropping less than 40% in its third weekend is actually fucking insane
#Dune2 finished in #2 spot again FRI with $8.15M, -33% vs last FRI. 3rd wknd may hit about $29M (down only 37%) lifting #boxoffice cume past $200M to a stunning $205M thru SUN after just 17 days. $300M can NOT be ruled out at this time! #Dune #DunePartTwo
Guilty. I saw it a second time with kids giving it a 400 out of 10.
#Dune2 witnessed another fantastic hold in 3rd wknd sliding 37% to $29.1M. Nearly identical to #Oppenheimer ($29.1M, -38%). #DunePartTwo 17-day domestic #boxoffice cume is now $205.3M. New #Dune also within a hair of #1 spot again. With these legs, reaching $300M is possible!!
Uh oh. Need to drop everything and watch new trailer for Dev Patel's @monkeymanmovie (opening April 4 across the US and Canada). ht @GiteshPandya youtube.com/watch?v=_1PuVD…

Is #DunePartTwo the next #Oppenheimer? The 2 films have many differences. But some #boxoffice similarities too. D2 vs Opp: 1st wknd $82.5M | $82.5M Mid-week $28.5M | $45.5M (schools closed for Opp) 2nd wknd $46M | $46.7M Drop 44% | 43% 10-Day $157M | $174.6M #Dune #Dune2

I'm going to have to force myself to go see this. I appreciated the first one, but there was no plot, no story. I hear this is better.
