DUNE: PART THREE ticket sales for regular showings had an excellent start. Starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, it’s selling better than Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY. We’re projecting a $100M+ domestic opening weekend, and $120M+ is not out of reach.

CLAYFACE debuts with an impressive 3.7 out of 5 stars on Letterboxd. Great news for @DCOfficial as it’s the third best-rated DC film this decade, only behind THE BATMAN (4.1) and SUPERMAN (3.8). Good reception means CLAYFACE may overperform this weekend.

CLAYFACE first reviews was published by @Josh_Wilding and is pretty negative, only 2.5 out 5. @RottenTomatoes published it but right after it was removed, without explanation. If first reactions were misleading and CLAYFACE isn’t that good, a $25M debut may not happen.

STREET FIGHTER bombs at the global box office debuting with just $51M on a $80M+ budget, lower than the $70M opening that trades were forecasting. With a $70M+ marketing, it might not even reach a $100M total and may lose nearly $50M.
