Cameron, Nolan and Spielberg know something truly special when they see it.

Oh, that's nothing. 👀

I'm waiting for the 1440p sdr version so I can make gifs.

I have a special digital rip of The Batman that's like 22gbs, for when I don't want to boot up the PS4.

I was half-expecting the worm to engulf the entire rock.

The scale of this world is absurd and the re-etsbalishment of it for Part 2 in that first scene is incredible.

Small question about the 3rd act.

Spoiler

When the emperor’s ship came down, what location did the final battle take place? Was that Arrakeen? It looked different.

My impression was that they stopped outside Arrakeen and dropped down like a portable mini-palace that's all silver from the ship. So the bulk of the action and throne room take place there, outside the city, and then once they take it, they move into Arrakeen.

Aha so the pyramid structure was inside the ship itself. I guess that makes sense. Would’ve been nice to have maybe 1 or 2 extra minutes to establish that. I was so confused.

I was looking forward to their video.

I searched online and found the answer while previewing the Art and Soul book. It’s exactly as you described.

That's awesome attention to detail.

If anyone is still keeping track, Dune Part 2 has earned back its production AND marketing budget. While the latter isn't a requirement for profit, everything else is now the cherry on top. I do think it's an important milestone for Legendary / WB too, given that they've only now officially announced Part Three.

The extended IMAX screenings, and additional box office, digital, physical, and streaming releases don't need to pay for the marketing budget and will just lead to more profit. A great position to be in.

60% domestic week 1: $66,616,600
55% domestic week 2: $35,854,637
50% domestic week 3+: $44,436,515
22.5% China: $10,432,866
40% other International: $141,492,682

Total estimated profit so far: $298,833,300

Did you see Denis/Greig's reasoning for more IMAX was whenever we're in nature (the desert). So, that's why Part One has 45% of IMAX and Part Two has more like 90%.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, not surprising Imax is extending the run. Very good film for them.

 

[RuralHawk]

One of the best films ever. Will clean up during awards season
