Exclusive: Welcome back to the movies everyone.
Legendary Entertainment/Warner Brothers Sand Dunes: Part Two It's off to a strong start with previews exceeding $10 million, according to industry estimates Thursday. We hear that number includes $2 million from the Imax fan event screening that took place on February 25. Note that these numbers don't come from Warner Bros, so they may be higher or lower on Friday morning. The inspection began at 3 p.m. this afternoon.
At over $10 million, this is the largest preview payout we've seen since Barbenheimer On Thursday, July 20, when Warner Bros. Barbie It grossed $22.3 million and Universal Oppenheimer It did $10.5 million. also, Five nights at freddy'sdespite continuing daily on Universal's Peacock streaming service, delivered an impressive Thursday night preview of $10.3 million on October 26.
Freddy It opened to $80 million, while Oppenheimer It started with $82.4 million. This is the high end where many expect the Denis Villeneuve-directed sequel to debut this weekend.
Far and far, Sand Dunes: Part TwoPreviews before Thursday Night of 2021 Sand duneswhich grossed $5.1 million from its 6 p.m. showing timeslot, is also ahead John Wick: Chapter 4$8.9 million; This film grossed $73.8 million for a three-day total.
What's a bit difficult to predict at this point is that pre-sales for Sand Dunes: Part Two It is front-loaded in a premium format and standard advance ticket sales are good, according to sources. Advance ticket sales of $18 million typically suggest a film will open to $100 million, but many in distribution circles are treating those advance sales with caution.
Sand Dunes: Part Two It has everything going for it: a 95% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with critics and a social media world per RelishMix that stands at 575.5 million across Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. This easily takes the 468.9M SMU away from first Sand dunes in October 2021 which was available day and date on HBO Max.
RelishMix reports: “An element in re-dating Sand dunes 2 On strike from the first weekend of November, the social firepower of the cast was evident with Zendaya at 227.8 million, Dave Bautista at 180.1 million, Timothée Chalamet at 21.1 million, Florence Pugh at 9.5 million, Austin Butler at 5.2 million, and Josh . Brolin at 3.3m.”
According to the Social Media Monitoring Rule, this is “full activation at 10 on a scale of 10 with all social super-actors and full activation across all social media platforms.”
Nothing but the sun, the sun, the sun Sand dunes As far as social media chatter goes, just like its desert surroundings.
RelishMix says, “Conversation tone is on Sand Dunes: Part 2 It sounds positive with chatter across all aspects of the film – everything from the camera work to the soundtrack is flooded with praise: “I'm so impressed by the scale of these films.” This is a masterclass in filmmaking. They don't make them like that anymore. The cast is energizing fans, saying, “We're going to see more of Zendaya!” “It's very good to see Christopher Walken back in action.” Fans agree that director Denis Villeneuve can be trusted to deliver the goods as always, as fans remember his works Sand dunes And Blade Runner 2049. Many companies do this to the original the Lord of the Rings Triple. The score, written by composer Hans Zimmer, is particularly irritating to fans. “That music!” Goosebumps galore! Zimmer does it again! The film is described as more than just a blockbuster, but a “complicated geopolitical thriller”, and fans want more of it: “This better be longer than three hours.”
We will have more updates as they come.
