DL: DUNE $5.1M (IMAX $1.5M new indexing record - likely his "Exhibition" source) Oct 22, 08:25
007 6.3 million (but inflated by Wednesday) 56 million, Comp in article 3.5 million Blade Runner 2049 (31.5 million). {nm} Oct 22, 08:38
Both of those comps if applied to DUNE indicates Mid 40's. {nm} Oct 22, 08:40
But those two didn't have day-n-date. {nm} Oct 22, 08:44
The Suicide Squad was 4.1 million 26 weekend as the only real day and date comp would indicate 32 million if you want a worst case scenario. Oct 22, 09:04
That seems like really worst case scenario. Superhero movies are almost always frontloaded and do sub 10X Thursday. Oct 22, 09:27
Really anything in the Mid-To-High 30's and a strong HBO max # could be spun into sequelville. 40+ is just better optics Oct 22, 10:11
Kilar seems to be bullish on making the sequel happen. I think international really helped. {nm} Oct 22, 10:15
Warner doesn't control the GL on the sequel {nm} Oct 22, 13:15
