The next thing you know, the sand worms are going to ask for bonuses!
Last night “Dune Two” earned a whopping $20 mil in its second night — or first night, if you go by Hollywood.
Coupled with Thursday previews, “D2” has banked $32 million!
The film scored $7,910 per screen last night, which ain’t bad!
If it picks up another $40 million tonight and tomorrow, that will bring “Dune Two” to $72 million.
Why isn’t it more? Two reasons: the three hour length of the total experience, and the bad weather in most of the country.
Why did “Oppenheimer,” also a three hour movie, do better? Two reasons: it came out in the summer when the weather was fine, and getting up the next morning wasn’t of the same importance work wise.
