A tragic tale of blind fanaticism & corruption. A spectacular, soulful, awe-inspiring masterclass of aesthetics & mood beautifully echoing Paul's turbulent journey. Left me speechless! pic.twitter.com/Vw61IKIGWr— Griffin Schiller (@griffschiller) February 15, 2024 ## #DunePartTwo is SPECTACULAR. Villeneuve delivers a sweeping, majestic, epic journey into beautiful worlds that looks/feels/sounds astounding. Uniformally superb cast w/Chalamet impressing again, Rebecca Ferguson incredible. Cinema on its grandest scale. @warnerbros @dunemovie pic.twitter.com/55aJ5fEB0X— Scott J. Davis (@scottwritesfilm) February 15, 2024 ## DUNE: PART TWO is an astonishing sci-fi epic that surpasses Part One in every single way. Denis Villeneuve has realized his dream of adapting Frank Herbert’s masterwork to the big screen with the depth and scale it deserves in a tour de force we rarely see anymore. Truly in awe… pic.twitter.com/GEjVL5SNUe— Matt Neglia (@NextBestPicture) February 16, 2024 ## Blown away by #DunePartTwo. Found it even more immersive, tactile and emotional than Part One. The clarity, heft and scale of the action is staggering. For me, the whole occupies a rarified place alongside The Lord of the Rings as the definitive version of a seminal text.— Jordan Farley (@JordanFarley) February 15, 2024 ## #DunePartTwo/ #Dune2 is jaw-dropping, breathtaking & wildly exhilarating. It’s an adrenaline rush to the head & heart, soaring in its spectacle-driven action sequences as much as it sings in its refined, evocative stillness.Timothée Chalamet & Zendaya turn in singular work. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/I2TWLL39fg— Courtney Howard (@Lulamaybelle) February 15, 2024 ## #DunePartTwo is an audio/visual triumph on par with (relatively speaking) 'John Wick 4' or 'Avatar 2'. Strong performances, some clever action beats but, like DUNE 1, it's a 2.5-hour film that mostly runs out of story at the 90-minute mark and jogs in place til the climax. pic.twitter.com/lNBjHDL0l1— Scott Mendelson (@ScottMendelson) February 15, 2024 ## #DunePartTwo is a cinematic masterpiece! This is a MUST-SEE on the biggest IMAX screen you can find. Parts of this movie made Me feel like I was in the film. This isn’t a movie; it’s an experience. Denis Villeneuve is a master storyteller. Get ready for an epic cinematic journey! pic.twitter.com/vTmsHSMk5A— Joseph Deckelmeier (@joedeckelmeier) February 15, 2024 ## In an absolute masterclass of filmmaking, Denis Villeneuve exceeds the enormous hype surrounding #DunePartTwo (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟). Seeing this film was such an experience & reminder of the utter power of Cinema. Dune Part Two is akin to a Dream Team of filmmaking: yes, Villeneuve is one… pic.twitter.com/I2Qv67PtXv— Cinema Tweets (@CinemaTweets1) February 15, 2024 ## #DunePartTwo is even better than the first one. It’s not only bigger, but also more entertaining, action packed and the cast got even better with Austin Butler simply ruling. Cinematography is outstanding, one of the most gorgeous films ever made. Finally a wonderful 2024 film. pic.twitter.com/tZhnmoNoqw— Ricardo (@ricardoaymarr) February 16, 2024 ## #DunePartTwo is a visually-monumental epic that never fails to immerse in its world. The narrative and its characters still beg for greater depth in this expansive mythos, but the action certainly goes much harder than Part One. Bring on Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Messiah! pic.twitter.com/eY5I1tlj03— Jeff Nelson (@SirJeffNelson) February 15, 2024 ## Liked #DunePartTwo FAR more than one. Thrilling and gorgeously filmed in equal measure. Austin Butler is the MVP alongside Rebecca Ferguson (again). Kudos on embracing the weirdness. I still don’t love this franchise but keen to see where it goes. pic.twitter.com/nCHQU4CfBO— Kristen Lopez (@kristenlopez88) February 15, 2024 ## Having watched #DunePartTwo, I can say I have ridden a sandworm. It's a magical experience, and the faithful adaptation fans have been waiting for (albeit w/ some smart changes). A fascinating examination of zealotry & postcolonial politics wrapped in a breathtaking blockbuster. pic.twitter.com/pCWqBCbtNb— Eric Eisenberg (@eeisenberg) February 15, 2024 ## #DunePartTwo is a giant epic, a masterclass of crafts from Greig Fraser’s exceptional photography to Patrice Vermette’s magnificent world building. Denis Villeneuve has delivered his magnus opus directing one of the best sci-fi films for generations to come. pic.twitter.com/Vvfs8YeFIi— Jazz Tangcay (@jazzt) February 15, 2024 ## Stay tuned...

Wile E. Coyote May Never Outsmart Warner Bros.: John Cena's 'Coyote vs Acme' Shelved Again

Acme's latest trap seems to have ensnared itself. John Cena's "Coyote vs Acme," a live-action/CG hybrid film exploring the classic Looney Tunes rivalry, remains stuck in development purgatory. Despite interest from streaming giants and a theatrical offer, Warner Bros.' high asking price threatens to permanently shelve the $70 million project. ## After shelving the film in 2023, Warner Bros. briefly allowed shopping it around. Director Dave Green ("Earth to Echo", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows") and producers Chris DeFaria and James Gunn hoped studios would bite. ## Per the report from The Wrap, Netflix, Amazon, and Paramount expressed interest, with Paramount even offering a theatrical release. However, Warner Bros. demanded a hefty $75-$80 million, effectively a $5-$10 million profit on their investment. Unwilling to counteroffer, potential buyers scurried away like the Road Runner dodging ACME missiles. ## Warner Bros. could choose to swallow a $35-$40 million tax write-off instead of accepting a lower offer. This financial maneuver, while potentially saving them millions, would permanently lock away the film from audiences. ## Will We Ever See Cena Wrestle ACME? The future of "Coyote vs Acme" is uncertain. With Warner Bros. unwilling to budge on their price, the film could face permanent oblivion, leaving fans wondering if Cena will ever get to outsmart the notorious corporation. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Box Office: 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' Scored A Low Opening Weekend In India

Mumbai, December 25 - Warner Bros. Pictures superhero movie Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has had a disappointing extended first weekend at the Indian box office. ## The movie was already carrying a low buzz, plus, it was up against Indian heavyweights this Christmas weekend. The only hope for the movie to have some sort of respite was to get positive word of mouth which didn't happen, resulting in a flop start at the box office.## The Jason Momoa-starrer sequel grossed approximately 12.80 crores in India in the first 4-days. The first movie "Aquaman" had grossed approx. 29 crores in its 3-day opening weekend in 2018, but here, "Aquamen 2" is unlikely to reach that mark in its lifetime run. ## Directed by James Wan, the film also had a soft start in its home market, North America, with just $28.1 million (235 crores gross) in the 3-day weekend, including premiers. Outside North America, "Aquaman 2" scored $80 million (665 crores), for $108.10 million (900 crores) globally in the opening weekend. ## China was the biggest market for the film, even bigger than North America, with $31.1 million opening weekend gross. Mexico was the third biggest contributor with $5 million, followed by Indonesia with $3.6 million, and France with $3.2 million. The film carries a budget of over $200 million. ## Stay tuned...
