Since that $12m preview number includes $2M from the IMAX Fan Event Screenings, I don't think this will top out at $100M for the weekend. Obviously it never needed to in the first place, but that would've been just amazing for Dune: Part Two. Now, I think somewhere between $80M-$85M is doable. Regardless of what happens, word-of-mouth is sure to carry this film throughout March.
Also, don't forget to mention in your post on Sunday that Warner Bros. is more than just Batman and Harry Potter. With the financial disappointments of both Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, I wouldn't be surprised if it continued to enforce this notion that WB is all about DC and practically nothing else.
I was just checking AMC's app for new releases the next two weeks. It looks pretty thin, so guessing Dune2 is the reason. Here's hoping it brings in lots of $$.
I hope it hits big so we can break the curse of comic book movies as our only blockbusters. If Dune Up 2 The Streets scores and 2 Kong 2 Zilla scores, my prediction is the next fad will be Kaiju movies and adaptations of bizarre scifi books. Bring on the William Gibson adaptations wooo.
