Ep 05: Dune, Nothing but Dune, Give Me That Dune... Don't Let It End!


Listen Later

Most of this week’s episode concerns the $82.5 million domestic (well played, Ryan) and $182.5 million worldwide opening weekend for Dune Part Two. We talk about the massive share for PLF screens, the lower expectations for the first ‘Dune’, how young stars made an adaptation of a 59-year-old novel seem cool and how Denis Villeneuve’s Dune avoided the fate of Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049. Also discussed was the $104 million-plus Oscar season performance of Poor Things and how A24 has become a brand.
