Owen Gleiberman on crack? DUNE is likely to open to $94M and would have open somewhere between $175 and $250 million pre-pandemic. Antibody Sep 26, 15:12

half that, if they're lucky {nm} cake boss! Sep 26, 16:05

He puts it in a $50-94 range (based on SHANG CHI) with 50 being a dud (to him) ...I think WB would be happy with 50+ notfabio Sep 26, 16:36

Unless it completely tanks (like $15m or less opening) Legendary will GL the sequel. Its already doing great overseas and they are for sale. Moviesnob Sep 26, 16:57

What pushes up sequel low end for me is that GOLDEN COMPASS didn't get one at 28 million and had solid INTL notfabio Sep 26, 17:28

Legendary has to have valuable assets and box office matters a whole lot less these days {nm} Moviesnob Sep 26, 17:34

I can see hbo paying 200m to legendary for the sequel Moviesnob Sep 26, 17:37

*sigh* cake boss! Sep 26, 17:44

I watched Dune in cinema already. The title clearly says "Dune Part 1". So I guess a Part 2 will be made. {nm} extepan Sep 27, 08:16

He edited the article. I copy and pasted "would have open somewhere between $175 and $250 million" which is gone. {nm} Antibody Sep 26, 17:22

Deadlinitis has spread! {nm} notfabio Sep 26, 17:28

He reads this board. {nm} Antibody Sep 26, 17:32

I don't think it looks very good at all. I think 94 total is a reach. {nm} Initech Sep 26, 16:24

Here's a copy of the original. He replace $95M with $50M Antibody Sep 26, 17:31

The question is: Did He edit this after initial publication? Or are we looking at a rough draft prior to publication? Huge difference. goodvibe61 Sep 27, 08:59

It was published on Variety at 11 am Sunday, and then changed around 4 pm. Not even a question. {nm} Antibody Sep 27, 09:09
