Dune Part 1 and 2

[Apoho Creed]

In a Movie about Power, Love, and Destiny I feel this Movie had all the right tones to it with Part 1 of Dune. I do wonder if enough people who doesn't know the Story like I do will watch this as well as understand what is going on and seeing throughout. I do see Award Nominees coming for them when it comes to Set Design, Costume Design just to name a few to go with their Stellar Cast. I really enjoyed the 2nd Half of this Film especially that Ending it's time for Paul to embrace his destiny and that whole Scene is a big moment for him in claiming it.

I might rewatch it for the 4K experience on HBO Max bc its probably worth it but the download I had was pretty fucking great in its own right. I was gonna wait but with so much wrestling and stuff this weekend I went ahead and watched the download lmao

I don't know shit about the book and I didn't have any trouble following along. They spent a lot of early time explaining the world pretty well, maybe even too much for some idk lol there were a lot of mysterious still and some stuff that I felt like I was supposed to not completely get as well though, mostly from the mom's side of the family and shit lol

I watched the original David Lynch film the other day and I could not get into it at all, so hopefully this remake is better than that.

Never seen it to give you a comparison. It adapted the whole book though right? And it's shorter than this one so they're probably a good bit different

I haven’t read the book either but from what I read about the film is that Lynch tried to adapt the whole book, which explains why the original is so long and it drags lol.

I've seen both versions and I can honestly say the 2021 version is a way better watch for me. I remember when I saw the original and 30 minutes into the Film I was going into Nap mode and that rarely happens for me when I watch a Movie or Show. I said to myself let me try this again the next day and second time around I understood things way more. It's alot to digest but this Film held our hands and made us understand what is the Story going vs the original where I was lost and wondering if I was high or not and I don't do drugs.

This movie had a 165 million dollar budget.

So like is that good or not since it's also on HBO? I'd guess they got money from HBO up front so we'll never know tho

 

[Necro]

I believe to break even you have to make double what your budget is. The studio was only projecting 30-35 million dollars for the first week. So I believe so far it's a win. It depends on how much it holds up over the next few weeks. International numbers are always tricky to I've heard, so a lot weighs on American domestic numbers.

Getting a sequel already.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Yeah I heard Part 2 has been greenlighted. I'm very happy about this.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Still haven't seen this yet, but the demand for this movie has been pretty high. Since Necro posted the last box office gross, it's sitting at over $368 million worldwide now.

Returning to Imax on December 3rd.

Too lazy to make a thread about the sequel but here's a look at Pugh
