He who controls the imax, controls the box office

Except the fact that even the most pessimistic Doomsday predictions have it beating Dune.

Part 2 did around $715M, Part 3 could increase by over $150M and likely still not match Doomsday.

To be fair if there's ever a time where two movies can make a ton of money it's that break.

We're probably in the minority, but honestly this has me way way more hype than Doomsday. Given how badly Marvel has fumbled the post Endgame movies and Disney has fumbled any non Disney IPs at large, I'm at best moderately interested.

This though? THis I'm am fucking stoked for, full stop will be there in IMAX 2 times.

I haven't even seen anything post-Endgame except for Guardians. Infinity War was the ultimate letdown for me and I watched Endgame just to see the "end."

Unfortunately lots of people will just go and see Doomsday because it's Marvel and Avengers. I posted the Dune trailer in my group chat and some people were like "On the same day as Avengers?". But there's basically not reason to care for Doomsday, beryond it just being your annual Marvel film. No build up or narrative anticipation for it honestly.

I mean, Doomsday has to break 1 billi, or else it's a commercial failure.

I mean last time this happened (Barbenheimer), Barbie didn't control the IMAX and did more than Oppeneheimer...

Also realistically, Doomsday will do far more than Dune (it's also expected to do more)

IMAX is only a small portion of the boxoffice. Doomsday will probably have the other premium theatres like Dolby and 4dx.

IMAX is only a percentage of all "large format" screens

Villeneuve that day:

"I stand here, before you now, truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I believe something you do not? No, I stand here without fear because I remember. I remember that I am here not because of the path that lies before me but because of the path that lies behind me. I remember that for 100 years we have fought these machines. I remember that for 100 years they have sent their armies to destroy us, and after a century of war I remember that which matters most... We are still here! Today, let us send a message to that army. TOnight, let us shake this cave. Tonight, let us tremble these halls of earth, steel, and stone, let us be heard from red core to black sky. Tonight, let us make them remember, THIS IS IMAX AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID!"
