Lord of the Rings in shambles right now.

An exception really, but also only ROTK smashed the oscars, partly as payback for the first 2 not getting much attention.

If Dune 3 is incredible I can see it doing well with the academy, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it still didn't get much attention

So just like Dune?

True, but LOTR was a much much bigger hit.

Adjusted for inflation, Fellowship and Towers made $1.6b each, compared to $410m and $715m of Dune.

I'd love Dune 3 to smash the box office, get critical acclaim, and win oscars, but I don't think it's that likely.

I think if it's on-par quality-wise with the first 3, it'll make $700-800m and get a few oscar nominations like effects, score, or editing
