Without spoiling anything, I caught the film at the IMAX Fan Event Screening and it was quite amazing. Already a contender for one of the best movies of the year and one of the most visually gorgeous sci-fi films or just films in general that I've ever seen.
Going off my audience and their reaction to the movie, I could tell they enjoyed the heck out of it (including a nice applause at the end). That points towards Dune: Part Two going well with not only critics and fans, but general audiences which is as important if not more so.
Like you, I'm not ready to say it's automatically gonna hit $100M domestically on it's opening weekend, but the chances are definitely not impossible at this point. I hope it does, but I'm sure Warner Bros. and Legendary will be just fine with $80M-$90M. Even then, that's still insanely impressive for a sci-fi sequel with a budget just under $200M.
Anyways, here's hoping Dune: Part Two does big blockbuster business this weekend, gives movie theaters the boost they really need, and has a long/leggy run both for the rest of its domestic and international run. It deserves as much money as it can get!
